Hey, I'm back with another chapter finally. I just had Finals again and thankfully I passed all my classes *Phew* I should have more time to write again so keep your eyes open. I had a request for a sequel to A Second Chance. If that is the case, I will need more requests to actually start on that. Remember to review please... Enjoy.

Meeting Her
She awoke slowly, her head and body ached terribly. As she opened her eyes, they revealed beautiful sky blue eyes that seemed to make anyone warm inside when they see them. She slowly lifted her paw and covered her eyes, blocking the light that shone into her eyes. The female slowly moved her eyes side to side, trying to see where she was. Where ever she was, it was warm and comfy. A lot better than her den that was cold and damp. From what she could gather, it looked like she was in a house. Why am I here? She asked herself. Suddenly, the previous night's memories flooded into her head. She remembered looking into a bright light then being tossed into the air and hitting the hard packed snow. After that, she must have been knocked out from the impact. Suddenly, a young male voice cut through her thoughts.
"Your awake, thats good. I was worried I seriously injured you." The voice that spoke was comforting and warm but, it had a hint of drowsiness and sorrow. She removed her hands to find the source of the voice. As her hands moved from her vision, a young male no older than nineteen stood beside her. He was slightly crouched down looking at her with his green eyes. The young male smiled at her warmly and spoke again. "It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you." The voice was reassuring and comforting. She slightly smiled back and tried to sit up only to be stopped by the male. "Just lay there, you've had a rough night. Your fever just broke a few hours ago. Just lay back and relax for a while. I'll go get you some water." The young man stood up and walked out of her vision. She did as he said and laid back down, setting her head back on the soft material. The female looked up at the ceiling and smiled, it felt as if she was suppose to be here or something. She felt at home for some reason. She sighed softly as she closed her eyes again, waiting for the young man to return with water for her to drink. He returned a few moments later with a small bowl filled with cool water. He put the side of the bowl to her delicate lips and angles the bowl so the liquid could run into her mouth. She graciously drank the cool water, letting it run down her parched throat. She drank all the water that the little bowl held. She sat back and sighed softly.
"Thank you, my throat had become dry from not drinking in so long." Her voice echoed throughout the living room. The females voice was as gentle as the spring breeze and as lovely as the full moon on a clear night. The young man stood back in disbelief the animal he had cared for just talked. It just talked to him. He shook his head and smiled.
"It's not a problem. It's the least I could do after I did this to you." He said the last part with sorrow in his voice. The female looked up at him, slightly confused.
"What do you mean? How did you do this to me?" The female looked straight at him with her sky blue eyes. He looked away and sighed.
"Last night, I was coming home from snowmobiling and.... "He paused." And I hit you on accident. I wasn't paying attention to the trail and you appeared in front of me. I didn't have enough time to react so my sled hit you." He looked back at her with sorrow plastered onto his face. She sighed and smiled back.
"It wasn't completely your fault. If it wasn't for that storm, I wouldn't have been on that trail looking for a new den." The young man walked over to a lounge chair and sat down, watching her.
"Is it ok if I ask you for your name?" He asked politely. She smiled and slightly giggled.
"It's Ina." She smiled and blushed slightly, even though the young man couldn't see it through her fur covered face. She never really talked to anyone like this before. Especially a human. And the fact that he was male even made her more happy and comfortable.
"That's a beautiful name Ina." He smiled softly. "I'm Adam." He leaned back in his chair and continued to watch her carefully for any signs of discomfort. She blushed deeper and had to look away, afraid he could see her turning redder and redder. Adam raised an eyebrow and frowned slightly. "Is everything alright Ina?" She nodded immediately and continued to look away. He shrugged it off and sat there in the lounge chair.
It took Ina a few moments to regain her composure. But when she did, she looked back at Adam sitting in the large black chair. She laid back and sighed slightly, but not of discomfort. Adam stood up and went back to where he was before. Ina watched his movements until he was out of her view of sight. Adam came back with a black cup in his hands that was filled with coffee. This was his breakfast. A cup or two of coffee and maybe a slice of toast. Even though Adam was six foot four and about a hundred and seventy pounds, he didn't eat a lot. Adam took a few sips of coffee before placing it on the table beside him. The song This Calling by All That Remains broke the few moments of quiet. Adam reached over and answered the cellphone, it was Seth.
"Hey, I just pulled in."
"Alright, cool. Meet me in the garage. I'll be out in a sec." Adam hung up the phone and stood up quickly. He placed the Razr in his front pocket and walked over to Ina. "I need to go out in the garage for a few minutes. Will you be alright to be alone for a bit?" He asked in his comforting voice. Ina nodded and smiled. Adam smiled back and started to head for the kitchen where the garage door was. "Alright, I'll be back in a few minutes." Adam disappeared into the kitchen and walked out. Ina heard the door close as he exited the house. She laid back and smiled, this human had been taking care of her. The thought of this made her upset, she has never been cared for by another. She had always taken care of herself through everything obstacle.
Ina was the last of her kind, she was the last of a great race that was once plentiful. But when humans appeared in the area years ago, they hunted them to extinction. Ina has survived by concealing herself and always running. She never stayed in one den for too long, afraid that a human may find her and kill her for the pelt. To her, Adam was different. He didn't see her as an animal, but rather an equal. She loved that feeling, not having to run and hide to save herself just to survive. She got up slowly, being careful not to make any noise. Her pads gently touched the hardwood floor. She pushed herself up and stood, her body cracking and screaming to her for laying down for so long. Her large furry tail laid on the couch, she moved it so it was close to her body. Ina slowly made her way around the house, only avoiding the kitchen so Adam wouldn't see her.

Adam walked out into the garage with no shirt on. Bad idea. It was only about thirty-eight out today and the garage was maybe forty-two. As soon as he stepped down the small flight of stairs, his nipples turned hard and his upper body flexed. He crossed his arms and continued to walk. Adam reached up and pushed the garage door opener to allow Seth to come in. The rush of snow and cold air wasn't very welcoming to Adam. Seth quickly ran in and Adam pushed the button again to close the large metal door.
"Your smart." Seth said sarcastically. "Think it's spring already?" He chuckled lightly at the sight of Adam with no shirt and his upper body slightly shaking. Adam gave Seth a pissed off face and snorted.
"Nope, I'm just seeing how hard my nipples will get." They both laughed and Adam went over to the closet that held coats. He put on one of the black leather coats, another bad idea. The leather was freezing but, it would warm up and keep him warm soon. Seth was already popping up the hood to the Polaris Dragon. Adam made his way over to the sled and peered down at the motor. His eyes went wide.
"Holy shit dude. How did you get home last night?" Seth pointed and showed Adam how bad the sled really was. Both of the pipes were bent in and were pretty much pinched shut. The motor was completely totaled. Adam stepped back to see a huge pool of snowmobile fluid under the sled. A mix of oil, coolant, and gas. He sighed and placed his hand on the hood.
"I have no idea bro. When I looked over it last night after the accident, it was fine. It stalled out when I hit it, but she started back up fine." He paused. "I was going 130 last night through the field." Seth looked at him in disbelief.
"Your lucky she didn't blow bro." Seth said as he continued to inspect the motor and damage. Adam stepped back again to see the ski's bent in and all fucked up. He shook his head and laughed to himself.
"Luck had nothing to do with it." Adam was never one to believe in luck. He believed that things happened for a reason and to just deal with it. 'Kill or be killed' was one of his sayings. Adam was like a wolf, he took care of himself but he also took care of his friends when needed. Adam went over to the seat of the sled and sat down. "Wanna go in bro? It's fucking cold as hell out here, even with this coat on." Seth laughed and shut the hood of the snowmobile.
"Yeah, it is cold." Adam got up and headed for the house with Seth following him. He stopped at the doorway. Ina was still inside and laying on the couch. How was he suppose to explain her to Seth? Seth would understand, wouldn't he? Moment of truth. Adam pushed the door open and stepped into the house.

Ina went into a large room that was filled with snowmobile equipment and trophies. She walked over to one of the larger trophies and looked at it at the bottom was a gold plate that was engraved. First Place. Open Class. She continued to walk around the room, observing that the trophies either said First Place or Second Place. "He must race these 'snowmobiles'." She exited that room and went to the one next to it. This was Adam's room. The room contained a California King bed and one large dresser. On the walls were pictures of Adam racing his snowmobile. Though, there was one that was above the bed. It was Adam standing next to a girl about his age. His arms were wrapped around her tightly and they were both laughing. The picture was in black and white. Ina placed her right paw against the photo and smiled weakly. On the desk next was a small card that said In Loving Memory of Courtney 1989-2009. Below that was a picture of the same girl that was in the black and white photo. Ina placed her paw to her mouth in disbelief. She sat down on the soft bed and laid down, her legs dangling off the side. The bed wrapped around her fur and seemed to embrace her. She closed her eyes and slowly drifted into the dreamy abyss. In her head said one thing. "He's just like you Ina..."
Uh-oh. What's going to happen next? Will Seth meet Ina or will she stay a secret? You'll just have to wait and find out. ;P Till Next Time, XxXDragonManXxX Out....
