Ironhide could feel the squishy human girl underneath him, but he couldn't get up. He couldn't move at all, and he could barely breathe. Pain engulfed his entire body from the shot to his side, and he clenched his teeth. The girl tried to move under him, sending another shot of blinding pain up his side. Ironhide howled, and the girl immediately stopped moving. Ironhide's vision became blurry as he struggled to stay conscious. He could barely see the small pool of his own blood under himself, and Ironhide almost chuckled. This is how he was going to die, huh? Stuck in a den with two young humans surrounded by fire.

"Get away from it," repeated Sam.

"It's a him," corrected Mia. "And I can't! Every time I move it hurts him."

"And why does that matter?" said Sam, becoming exasperated. "That thing, he, might have rabies or something!" Mia rolled her eyes, but nonetheless she tried to move again. The wolf growled and Mia stilled again. The wolf's eyes were closed in pain, and she couldn't go anything about it. Mia's eyes stung from the tears as she watched the wolf slowly bleed. It was going to bleed to death, and she couldn't do a thing. Mia glanced at the wolf's bleeding side, and determined, she ripped part of her shirt off.

"What are you doing?" asked Sam.

"I have to wrap the wound tightly to stop it from bleeding," replied Mia. "Help me keep him steady."

"What? Are you crazy? He could bite you any second!" countered Sam.

"But he hasn't, has he?" replied Mia. "Just come and help me you big wuss." Sam scowled and moved to help Mia wrap up the wolf. The wolf hissed in pain as they wrapped the piece of cloth tightly around his middle, and the cloth immediately became red from the blood it soaked up. Sam ripped part of his own shirt off and wrapped the wound again.

Ironhide's mind was in turmoil right now. Pain, pain, pain, and more pain. And why were these human children helping him? Humans hated wolves. They were supposed to be scared, but yet these two were bandaging his wound. And the other humans shot him. Ironhide shook his head lightly. Humans were confusing creatures.

Mia sighed in relief as she and Sam finished wrapping the wound. The rain had died down the fire outside, and the police were nowhere to be seen. Sam guessed they had gone back to the "city". It was getting very cold, and with a piece of Sam's shirt missing, he was beginning to shiver. Mia was also shivering a little, a piece of her shirt was missing as well. Mia had managed to slide out from under the wolf, and she immediately took off of her pants.

"Uh, Mia, what're doing?" asked Sam.

"Give me my backpack," she stated. "I have a pair of shorts in there." Sam obeyed and handed his sister the clean and not blood-soaked shorts. She quickly put them on and joined Sam laying down a distance from the wolf.

"I guess we should sleep the rest of the night," said Sam. "Seeing that the wolf doesn't eat us when we're asleep."

"Sh!" said Mia, already drifting off to sleep. "You'll wake him up." Sam smiled. Mia always had a soft spot for animals, but it was usually baby birds, puppies, kittens, mice, and other smaller animals. Not a giant, wild, black wolf. But it was injured, and Sam actually felt good about helping the wolf. Sam and Mia both shivered when a cold breeze entered the den. Sam pushed Mia a little closer to the wolf, which had very thick fur. She curled up against it, and Sam cuddled against Mia. The wolf wasn't cold, and Mia was definitely not cold anymore. Sam's back was still freezing though, and he shuddered involuntarily as another breeze penetrated the safety of the den.

Ironhide cracked one eye open and saw the male human shiver from the cold. Ironhide moved a little, careful not to disturb the female, and wrapped his long, furry tail around the boy's back. The boy seemed surprised from the gesture but gratefully pulled Ironhide's tail towards himself. Ironhide watched the two sleeping human children for a moment curled against his furry body, and Ironhide wondered if he had finally lost his mind. Letting humans heal him and sleep with him. Ironhide sighed deeply. He was going to get it from the twins back at the pack's clearing. The girl stirred a little and curled up against the male. Footsteps from outside woke Ironhide up again, and he saw Ratchet peering inside. Ratchet's eyes widened when he saw the two humans sleeping, and narrowed his eyes at Ironhide. Ratchet quietly crawled into the den and sat beside Ironhide.

"Explain," stated Ratchet. "Why are you cuddled up with two young humans?" Ratchet's eyes wandered to Ironhide's bandaged side.

"Are you hurt?" asked Ratchet, tone quickly changing from suspicious to worried.

"A human man shot me," growled Ironhide quietly.

"…And these two helped you?" finished Ratchet who was beginning to piece things together. "These two children helped you. And the other human shot you. What a controversial species."

Mia woke up from the sound of two voices talking. She looked around and froze when she saw another wolf inside the den, and he seemed to be talking with the black wolf. The new wolf was smaller than the black wolf, but not by much. He was a neon yellow color with- wait, neon yellow? Mia narrowed her eyes she knew that wolves did NOT come in that color. The wolf was neon yellow with a red stripe down each of his sides, and the wolf's muzzle was black and grey.

"Sam," whispered Mia. "Wake up, look." Sam groaned and woke up and also saw the strangely colored wolf.

"Is he, yellow…?" said Sam.

"Yep," said Mia. "Or else both of our eyes aren't working right." Mia tensed slightly when the neon yellow wolf slowly approached her, and she didn't move as the wolf's face came uncomfortably close to her own. She could feel his breath on her face. It didn't smell very good. The wolf got even closer and opened his mouth slightly. Mia's eyes widened. He was going to bite her! Mia waited for the bite, but it never came. Instead a cold, wet tongue licked her cheek. Mia giggled from the tickling sensation, and she realized that this neon yellow and red wild wolf had just licked her face. The wolf licked her other cheek, and Mia backed off laughing.

"Ew!" she said before wiping her cheeks off. Sam stared amazed at the wolf. The wolf then approached him, and he licked his face as well. Sam laughed too, and wiped off his face.

"Ew," he said. "That was kinda gross. Wet and slimy." The yellow wolf laid down next to Sam, and Sam and Mia laid back down as well. Sam and Mia were now very warm with two wolves as blankets. The two siblings drifted into a deep slumber, and the two wolves also fell asleep, but still alert.
