"Torak?" Renn looked at him. Oh god please, Torak bit his lip and watched her. " I know who you are, I never forgot, but you hurt me,"
"No Renn, he didn't!" Fin-Keddin watched his niece intently as she wobbled. " We should get inside, Renn your not well," Torak nodded and turned back towards the shelter. "Torak we can't take her in there!"
"We have to he has to apologise, if I tell her I love her she won't believe me until she trusts me again." Torak set his teeth and stalked into the shelter. He watched Dray sit back on the ground and watch him.
"You will tell her it was you and your sorry,"
"If I don't," Torak's face blanked and Dray smiled. The Raven's stepped into the shelter, Torak saw now that Renn's lips had returned to normal, apart form the slight cut in the corner. He neck was cleaner although it was still stained red. She will be okay! This was something he had to believe.
"Dray," Renn's voice wavered and Fin-Keddin put an arm out in front of her.
"I won't let him hurt you Renn," He turned to her slowly. "I promised," She nodded and Fin-Keddin helped to sit her down upon his sleeping sack. Once done he came to stand beside Torak as they watched the boy before them.
"Renn,"
"Yes," She woke wearily to see a smiling face. "Torak?"
"Hey, get up! Were going somewhere,"
"Okay," She stood up slowly and Torak gave her a wolfish grin. They walked through the cool of the forest listening the whistling of redstarts. She picked a strawberry and ate it before rushing to get to Torak's side. It was late summer, the forest was beginning to change and soon the raven camp would move again.
Torak would be coming to. She smiled and he looked at her.
"What's amusing?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Nothing," She blushed and turned to watch a willow grouse fly through the trees.
"Oh really," He began to laugh as she went a deeper red. That day they went to the river and Torak attempted to catch fish, Renn had laughed when he had fallen in, so he had splashed her, they had gone hunting afterwards to dry off.
Now Torak was making a shelter up on the bank while Renn was making a fire close by, out of the corner of her eyes she saw him shooting her glances and smiled.
She heard him yawn as he stood back and examined the shelter he had made. She did the same with fire.
Slowly she turned to watch the river sparkle in the early evening sun, she felt warm arms wrap round her waist and gasped loudly turning to face him.
"T..Torak?"
"What?" He blushed at her reaction.
"Well…"
"Stop muttering Renn," He breathed as he lowered his lips to hers.
Torak shot Renn a worried glance as she mumbled in her sleep.Please be okay!I hope shes having nice dreams not ones about this!
"Get out of my camp!" The Raven leader glared at the boy.
"Where will I go?"
"I don't care about you!" He shouted.
"Just let me have one last talk with Torak!" Torak tensed and turned back to the fox boy.
"When?"
"Being winter, it's dark most of the time!" He stated and Torak watched him. " Tomorrow in the morning!" Torak nodded as Fin-Keddin led the boy out of the shelter.
"Renn?" She did not stir, Torak watched her chest rise and fall slowly which showed she was sleeping. Good she needs it! Slowly he lent down and kissed her cheek. " You'll be safe in here,"
Torak sat up in his sleeping sack as he heard foot steps coming closer and grabbed his knife. "Torak?" It was the rough voice of the fox boy and Torak stood up slowly and walked out to meet him. His jerkin was pulled tightly about his neck and he had made a headband out of the sleeve that was now wrapped over his forehead.
Torak chose not to ask out of pure lack of actually wanting to talk to the boy. He watched his back warily as the boy led him down the bank towards the river.
"It's flooded!" Torak whispered.
"I know," A smirk crept onto the boy's lips as he turned looking into the grey eyes. Torak's hand tightened on his knife.
"What are you planning?" He did not reply but watched in horror as Dray took a step back towards the river. "Dray?"
"What?" He stepped back again, one more and his foot would sink into the raging water.
"Don't!"
"You will not send me back or away!" He growled and stepped back.
