Much to Torak's horror Dray began to laugh. "What are you doing? This isn't funny!"

He watched the tall boy stand up shakily, his eyes were set upon the knife at Torak's waist. Following his gaze Torak unsheathed it and held it in front of him. I know It won't help. I don't care he hurt Renn! I don't care... He hurt her!

He knew compared to the strength Dray had, he wouldn't stand a chance. Torak knew that Dray knew this too." Why Dray?Why did you do it? Tell me!"

Dray's eyes were sunken so much unlike that of when they had met, Torak's head burned but he kept standing he wouldn't back down until he knew why he had done watched Torak take a step towards him the knife held firmly in his grip, what Dray said next made Torak's throat work and he felt the knife slip slightly. The words echoed through his head. Because I can!

Renn sat up slowly, her hair was a mess and she ran her fingers through it slowly, her neck and back hurt and her lips felt as if they were on fire. What happened?Where is everyone?

She couldn't stand and it was hurting to sit, her jerkin and parka were ripped in places and she bit her lip to hold back a cry as she felt the hot wet run down her neck and chin. What was happening why did she feel like someone had said something important!

Setting her teeth she stood up, everything ached and screamed at her to stop. She ignored them, she was Renn! Her heart was beating against her chest loudly as she stepped out into the rain, the cold and wet washed over her it helped slightly. Her bow was slung over her shoulder, she didn't know why she needed it she just felt she did.

The Raven Camp was near to deserted and she slowly walked forward, the small flames dancing in her eyes.

She knew Dray had crept in on her and startled her, after that she just remembered being pinned and….. well to say he was the first guy she had kissed it hadn't been enjoyable. Then it had all gone black and even after someone had cleaned her earlier, the blood had returned. She nearly slipped as she walked towards a large shelter. Her uncles. She stopped short as pain ripped through her neck.

"How dare you!" Torak screamed at the boy.

"You like me Torak, when I arrived you and Renn let me in, don't deny that!" The boy smirked, his eyes were no longer wild but full of hatred staring intently into Torak's face.

"Why don't you go back to your clan?" Torak bared his teeth, the boy smirked.

"They won't take me back," His eyes closed as he began to laugh.

"What did you do?"

"The fox clan are very few in number Torak, like you I have no mother or father. So I wondered away and found this place,"

"How do you know so much about me? And you just chose Renn?" Torak clenched his fists tighter, his body burned to hurt Dray, like he had hurt her.

"You know were friends Torak," The boy reached out a muscular arm to touch him.

Flashback

"Renn?" Torak walked briskly through the trees, wolf trotting at his side. The sun was dancing on the leaves above, the cold crisp air was nice against his hot skin as he walked. The gentle breathing of his companion and the redstarts preparing to nest made him smile.

Wolf pulled at his leggings, Torak looked down to meet the amber eyes and knelt down. Wolf's fur had become heavy for the winter and soon the first snow would arrive. Wolf had to spend time with Darkfur and the cub now and even though Wolf spent less time, he still admired him greatly.

Hunt Torak felt Wolf's whiskers brush his cheeks.

Yes. Go! He stood up and watched Wolf trot off into the trees, his tail swinging from side to side and he walked.

"Renn!" He shouted as he ducked through a mass of branches entering into a clearing. His bow snagged and he turned to unhook it.

"Hey Torak," Renn was sitting by a tree trunk cleaning her bow she did not look up, a blonde boy was sitting at her side watching her.

"Whos this?" Torak approached the pair, fixing the box upon his back.

"Torak this is Dray, he arrived last night," She continued to clean her bow while the two boys shot glances at each other. " Fin-Keddin is letting him stay in the camp,"

"It's nice to meet you," Dray stood up placing both hands over his heart, Torak copied the gesture and smiled.

"Then we were Dray! But after this. Not now!" Torak sheathed his knife. " Fin-Keddin, I'm done!" There was no reply only the hammer of rain. " Fin-Keddin?" Torak turned out of the shelted, he saw the man's back to him another figure was at his side.

"Renn?" Torak ran to them, the red hair was pressed against her face, her raven tattoos stuck out vividly against her pale cheeks." Are you okay?"

"Torak," Fin-Keddin looked at him warily.

"Renn, it's me. You know I'd never hurt you. It wasn't me," Renn stared at him blankly and Torak gave her a wolfish grin.
