"Renn? Are you decent?" Her uncle stepped over the opening of her shelter and sighed as he saw her face down on her sleeping sack, slowly he knelt at her side when she did not turn he frowned. " Renn answer me,"
He placed a warm hand on her neck and withdrew it quickly glancing at the red now coating his fingers.
Quickly he picked her up and ran with her out of the shelter.

Torak emerged from the trees, Wolf turning and fleeing into the darkness the trees gave. The young boy rushed towards him the pain of seeing his friend limp in his arms was reflected in his grey eyes as he stared helplessly from her long red hair to her slim stomach slightly showing beneath her jerkin. Torak's eyes flashed up at him.

"What did you do?" Fin-Keddin did not look at Torak as he walked staring intently ahead.

"I didn't do this he did, where is he now?" Torak looked rather hurt at Fin-Keddin.

"He's being taken care off,"

"Let me take her,"

"What?"

"Let me, it's partially my fault it happened!" He stared up at his godfather who smiled sadly and turned to him.

"No one knows what will happen Torak! But I know Renn when she wakes up to find you washing her she will be scared,"

"I know," He nodded.

"What happened in the forest obviously scared her!" He glanced worriedly at her cut lip. He gently handed the Raven girl to him, Torak took her weight easily and nodded to his godfather as he watched him run back up the slope.

"He better do something about it," Torak mumbled as he set her by the river bank, removing his jerkin and setting it behind her head, he smiled. I'll help you I promise

Barely aware of the sudden change of temperature as he gently washed her neck using water from the river. He saw Wolf race through the trees on the other side of the river, the flash of grey gone as quickly as it appeared. He sighed and resumed the task at hand, her chest rose quickly and he watched as she stirred restlessly, the growing fear of when she was to wake up and find him was growing with every movement. Torak carried on cleaning her neck and hair until he was satisfied with his job. Laying her back down gently, taking care with her fragile frame, he sat back to watch her.Beautiful he shook his head and sighed

"Just my luck!" Torak cursed as a large rain drop hit his neck. He carefully carried her to the cover of a tree and began to build a shelter. He was pressed for time but was satisfied with his job, he had made it slightly on the slope encase the river flooded, and he knew this was unlikely but Torak had seen a lot of unlikely stuff in his life and after what had happened today, he frankly wasn't in the mood.

He brought her gently into the shelter making sure she was fully covered from the rain. The chilly wind had set in and was blowing at the make shift shelter, Torak bit his lip praying to the guardian it would remain standing. It wasn't safe to move Renn too far just yet and his limbs ached from carrying her. He slowly lay beside her listening to the comforting pounding of rain above him and the slightly slower breathing of his best friend. He turned to her slowly, his head hurt and silently he took her hand.I swear Renn I know you and I will fix this.

Renn woke slowly, everything hurt, the sound above her drilled at her head like a thunderous charge of angry aurochs. She sat up and pain ripped through her neck and head, she lay back down as her head swam she slowly became accustomed to the heavy breathing beside her, slowly she turned her head and recoiled in horror to see the brown haired boy. "What are you doing?" She screamed, he woke with a jolt turning frightened to her.

"Renn, calm down! I won't hurt you I swear, I know you Renn and your not like this" He crawled out of the shelter as she advanced, flinching slightly as the cold rain hit him, she stepped towards him, frantically he looked around into the haze of rain.

"What did you do to me?" Her voice was calm but he saw the anger in those dark eyes. He couldn't bring himself to believe it but his head was screaming She did not know him.

"Nothing I swear, I would never won't to hurt you Renn!"

"You do!" She laughed hysterically, it scared him to see his friend like this.

"I never would Renn," He lowered his head. 'Now or never Torak' he thought and met her gaze. Her hair was pressed against her beautiful face but the expression she wore showed no emotion at all.

"I hate you Torak!" She whispered.

"I love you," The words slipped out of his mouth before he could react.

"You just say that," He watched sadly as she dropped his jerkin to the floor and trudged up the hill disappearing into the rain.

"But I do…." His voice was swallowed up by the rain.
