Paradise Always Finds A Way

Hey, Nova Spirit Wolf again. A big thank you to everyone who reviewed my story and to everyone who took the time to read it. This chapter is for Black Wolf of Dreams because he was the first person to review my story.

A wolf was slowly backing up the alley while 4 men surrounded it. It had cuts all over its body and blood was dripping down from its mouth and it also had a large cut down its side. The 4 men slowly trapping it into the corner of the alley also looked a little worse for wear with a few scratches of their own. The wolf leapt at the nearest man and dug its fangs into his neck biting down hard. It landed gracefully back on its feet and growled at the remaining 3 men who turned to run but instead came face to face with an angry Hige in his wolf form snarling slightly. One of the men drew a gun and fired at Hige who dodged away easily before the bullet could hit him. But Hige didn't see one of the other men draw his own gun and fire a shot, hitting Hige in the shoulder. The other wolf rushed at the unlucky man who screamed loudly before the wolf was upon him. By now the remaining men had turned tail and run out of the alley as fast as their legs could take them.

Now the men were gone, Hige finally got a good look at the wolf he had saved. She was a little bit smaller than him with dark red fur and bright blue eyes. She had a cream tip on her tail and on her ears as well. She also had 4 silver bracelets on her left front leg, like Toboe's, but they were heavier and thicker and made a louder sound when she moved.

"Wow, what a babe!" Hige thought to himself. She turned into a human and walked over to inspect his shoulder. Hige couldn't stop staring at her. She had long hair the colour of her fur tied up in a ponytail high on her head and intense blue eyes. She was quite pretty, with heaps of earrings in the tops of both her ears and she also had the 4 silver bracelets on her left wrist. She was wearing baggy jeans tucked into combat boots and a white singlet under a forest green jacket that stoped at her elbows. She noticed him staring at her and gave him a quick poke to snap him out of it.

"Hey quit staring and let me have a look at your shoulder," she said sounding impatient. It was the Hige noticed the pain in his left arm. Blood was quickly seeping through his yellow hoodie and dropping silently to the alley floor. She pressed her hand over the wound to stop the bleeding and helped him to his feet.

"I'm Nova by the way, thanks for the help back there," she said while jerking her head in the direction of the alley they had just left.

"Don't worry about it, my names Hige, its nice to meet ya." He replied happily. Nova continued to walk down the street with Hige leaning heavily on her while he pressed a hand to his wound to stem the flow of blood.

"So do you have somewhere to stay while you're here in town?" she asked while they walked.

"I don't know, I have to find my pack first, they should be around here somewhere" replied Hige scratching his head with his free hand. After about 20 minutes of searching, Hige's sensitive nose picked up the familiar scent of the pack and pointed Nova in the direction they were in. Not long after, a battered and bleeding Hige stumbled into the warehouse with Nova in tow, looking equally battered with cuts and bruises of her own.

Hige what took you so long? Did you bring any food back?" asked an excited Toboe before he noticed the blood slowly dripping down Hige's jumper onto the ground.

"What the hell happened to you Hige? Did you get into another fight?" asked Tsume before he realised there was some one standing next to Hige.

"Who the hell is this?" he snapped. Nova turned to him shocked.

"Well that's not the way to treat a guest now is it?" Tsume stood there stunned before a look of recognition spread across his face.

"Nova?" he asked "Is that really you?"

"Its really me Tsume.' She replied, before leaping into his open arms. He spun her around and hugged her tightly before setting her back down again. Hige looked from Tsume to Nova and then back again.

"Ok is there something going on here that I should know about?" he asked.

"Get your mind out of the gutter porky, she's my sister" snapped Tsume.

Wow another chapter done. Hope you guys enjoy this one and don't forget to review and tell me what you think. Bye for now.
