wolf in the snow: i know i'm not supposed to do author notes or anything but i don't see why, it doesn't hurt anything. Either way thanx for the review!


Dashing out the door the small girl almost fell flat on her face barely catching herself she desperately tried to gain more speed. Behind her came the shouts of Boris his voice showing his anger, she couldn't help but smile to herself as she ran...she had after all got him good. Still running she heard the sound of a engine revving and slightly turned to see Boris speeding after her, the driver steering in and out of the concrete pillars. She turned her attention back to the long stretch in front of her but was quickly pulled back to reality by a blood dart whizzing past her head barely missing the tender flesh of her cheek.

'Oh crap, what have I gotten myself into this time.' she thought running desperately her legs already feeling sore. Her breath became labored and her body ached for a rest, "Dammit" she hissed through gritted teeth as she pushed herself even harder. She heard Boris yell something at her but couldn't make out the words over the sound of her heart racing rapidly in her scared chest. As she ran some of the boys yelled, cheering for her earning slaps, curses, or kicks from their trainers. She heard a familiar voice and turned to see Tala and Kai standing on a nearby pile of wood, Bryan was leaning against Spencer clutching his chest where the dart had hit him.

"GO KAMI! DON'T GIVE UP!" Kai yelled wanting to help only to find himself useless.

"SHOW OLD BORIS WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!" Tala yelled out cupping his hands around his mouth in order to amplify his voice.

"YOU'D BETTER NOT LET THAT BASTARD CATCH YOU, CUB! OR I'LL KICK YOU ASS!" Bryan yelled out wincing at the pain in his chest he had earned from yelling.

Spencer simply nodded his head at her which for him was the same as yelling.

I can't let them down, I can't let Tala down after he stood up to Boris like that just to protect me, and Bryan took on of those damn darts to the chest for me. I can't, know I won't let them down...no, "Not this time" she whispered to herself pushing her sore legs harder gaining even more much needed speed. She turned before flashing her team a small smirk, telling them exactly what she was thinking.

Upon seeing the girl speed up Boris smirked in evil excitement, "Clock her time." he commanded into his head set before he ordered the driver to punch it. He aimed the gun again and the shot took off, barely missing its mark, 'you can't run from me forever little girl. It will end up the same way it did last time, you will eventually fall under my wrath...as will your friends.' he thought cruelly to himself.

Kami ran as hard as she possibly could, jumping over object rather than going around them meaning to gain some time. She headed for the huge doors of the abbey her speed never faltering, not even the slightest. "What is that little brat think she's doing, does she plan on running into the doors?" Boris watched while shooting random darts at his helpless prey. Hearing the truck still behind her Kamia smiled, 'idiots' she thought to herself while she purposely began to slow letting the truck close in. The moment she reached the large doors she jumped up high allowing the truck behind her to go straight on into the steel mess.

Boris who had planned on pinning her body to the door with the front of the truck cursed loudly as the wall collided with the front end of his vehicle. The feather-weight panther then landed on the smashed hood, gave him a smirk before dashing away. "Catcha' later Boris." she yelled back giving her usual three-fingered salute.

"AAHHHH!" Boris yelled aloud letting all know his mood. "DAMMIT!" he kept ranting and raving on and on hating the world but even more hating that girl, and if possible his hatred reached a new level when he thought of the rest of her team, how dare they disobey him.

Slowing her pace down to a slow jog she cast a quick glance over her shoulder, the seen that greeted her tired eyes was most enjoyable. Boris was yelling like crazy occasionally kicking the truck and then the driver, she knew there'd be hell to pay later but right now all she could do was smile at her most recent victory. She was so wrapped up in her glory she almost didn't feel the painful sensation gracing her with it's presence. She looked down to see and blood dart embedded in her left ankle, the poison was forcing itself into her blood stream and her eyelids began to feel unbelievably heavy.

She felt her legs slow and her vision became blurry, 'Damn dart.' she thought while wincing in pain. The last sight she recovered before falling into the darkness of a dreamless sleep was that of the ground coming to meet her face. She never actually felt herself hit the ground, only the familiar voices of her team and then the feel of rough hands on her shoulders. "I did it." she whispered aloud before she finally let the darkness overcome her pulling her out of the wretched world, and for that she thanked Boris, even if it was only for a few hours...she was free.

Kai had barely managed to make it to his falling friend, but lucky Tala had given him a small push ending in him catching Kami before she painfully hit the ground. He himself was now on his knees with her head in his lap, she was out cold and he looked down to find the source. 'Damn dart.' he thought to himself before gently pulling it out of her tender ankle. He sighed before looking up at his comrades; Spencer was smirking happily to himself while watching Kami, most likely replaying how she had deviously tricked Boris. Bryan was now leaning against Tala muttering something about how Boris had it coming and he wished he had a tape of the short victory scene. The ice wolf himself was supporting Bryan while watching intently, scrunching up his face as thoughts flashed through his memory.

He barely heard her speak and even after she passed out he wasn't fully sure if he had heard her right. He couldn't help but smile as she shifted in his grasp, murmuring something he couldn't make out. Kai probably could've watched her like this all day but when a strong hand came down on his shoulder it pulled his away from his daydream and back into the harsh reality of life. He looked up to see Tala, Bryan and Spencer all staring at him and then at the small occupant in his lap. Understanding he stood up and easily pulled the girl up with him, carrying her wedding style he and his team walked back towards the small cabin they all shared.


A/N

It's hard to explain, but there is a courtyard type thing and in that courtyard there are rows of small cabins were three or four bladers live together.

Except for their cabin, it can fit four or five bladers, and rooms their whole team. They have to learn to know everything about each other so what better way than to live together. Their cabin has a bathroom, 3 bedrooms and a kitchen that is hooked to the small living room. They only get to live in a bigger cabin because they are the best. Lucky benefits I guess. O and the room Kami was in at the beginning was really a small shack, Boris had taken her there late at night to punish her, that's why they had to run to find her. I know it's confusing but that's just how it is.
