The rest of the "restriction" days went by quickly. Redd woke up and it was Saturday morning. A smile spread across her face as she jumped out of bed and got dressed. Granny wasn't awake yet so Redd just left a note saying she was taking Burakku for a run. She threw her hair up and ran out the door. Burakku was waiting happily or her. She hadn't taken him out since Granny said she had to stay on the trail. She quickly groomed him then put a harness over his head and connected the reigns to that. Burakku and Sadie never needed a bit or saddle. Redd preferred bare-back riding anyway and thought a bit was rude.

She gave a flick of the reigns and the sleek black stallion took off running. He sprinted along the trail until he was told to veer off. He ran jumping over logs while Redd had to duck under branches. After a while they slowed to a trot then a walk, stopping by part of the stream for a drink. They rested for a while then started walking again.

They walked for what seemed hours when out of nowhere Burakku reared back and cried out. His ears pinned back and he started to walk backwards. Redd tried to calm him to no avail. He was too panicked.

"God damn it, B, calm the hell down!" Redd gripped the reigns tight and turned the horse around and ran home, which Burakku was all too happy to comply to. The only thing was that they weren't alone anymore. Redd turned around at the sound of something chasing her. It was a pack of grey wolves that figured they had found an easy meal. Burakku ran faster looking for the trail. Redd spotted two wolves closing in on either side of her.

"Sorry, B, but you're gonna hate me after this…" She pulled the reigns causing the horse to slide to a stop, the wolves till coming full speed. She watched as the one from behind got closer and closer. The second it was too close she hit the horse on its hind quarters causing it to kick out of fear. The wolf flew back a few feet obviously with broken ribs. It whimpered off and Redd smiled. There were three more wolves circling her and Burakku now.

One jumped at the horse spooking him making him rear back. Redd hit the ground with a thud, getting the wind knocked out of her. She sat up, her hair falling out of the hair tie and into her face, watching her horse run away being followed by a wolf, leaving Redd with the other two.

"Shit…" She stood watching both wolves. After a few moments one jumped at her and knocked her down again. She fought as best she could but what much was there to do? The other wolf was biting at her legs. She heard a deep growl and saw a pair of massive jaws clamp around the wolf that was on top her and threw it into a tree. She looked up to see a jet black wolf with icy blue eyes. There was something wrong with it, though.

She stood up and watched as the black wolf attacked and scared off the second wolf that was on her, the size difference was obvious. The black wolf looked back at Redd and walked up to her. It stood as nearly as tall her she did. It was slightly taller when its ears perked forward. Her vision blurred and she collapsed, falling unconscious.

When she woke up she was lying on her couch at her house, Granny bent over her with a wet rag and a frown that was half scowl."Redd what happened?"

"Granny? I took Burakku out." Redd sat up sharply. "Burakku! Is he back? Is he ok?" Redd fell back down onto the couch when her vision blurred again from sitting up to quickly.

"Yes. Burakku is home safe. What were you doing? You've got bites all over your ankles and one of your arms is torn up as well." Redd could hear the disapproval in Granny's voice.

"I went riding and we were attacked by a small pack of wolves. Burakku hurt one and one chased him back. The other two attacked me. One jumped me knocking me down which is why my arm is messed up and the other started biting at my feet."

"Dear Lord, Redd. Are you trying to leave this earth before I do?" Granny frowned as she started wrapping Redd's arm.

"No I'm not, Granny. How long was I out?"

"A couple hours."

"That long?" Redd kept her arm held out when a thought occurred to her. "Granny, how did I get back?" She blinked at looked at her grandmother who seemed to be focusing more on Redd's arm now.

"That boy from school brought you back, the one who had a knife pulled on him by Sam."

"Hayden? What was he doing way out there?" Redd looked off and flinched when Granny tightened the knot over her arm.

"You should just be happy he was. You could have died."

"Not by the grey wolves, I'll say that much," Redd muttered under her breath. Granny was about to ask what she had said when a knock sounded at the door. Redd pulled her hoodie sleeve down over her fresh bandages while Granny got up to answer the door.

"Hello, Sam." Her tone was dry.

Redd looked up to see Sam looking at her with worried eyes. "I heard Redd was attacked. Is she alright?" Sam heard a groan from behind the old woman and looked back to see Redd walking up.

"I'm fine! You have no business stalking me. That happened a couple hours ago for crying out loud." She crossed her arms over her chest and looked out the side window. It took everything in her not to gasp in surprise. About fifty yards away from the house was the wolf that saved her. That huge, beautiful wolf. She whispered so only Granny could hear her, "I'll be back. Keep him busy so he won't follow me for like, ten minutes, please." Redd turned and walked out the back door. Granny opened her mouth to protest but wasn't fast enough. She turned to face Sam who had a confused look on his face, although it looked intentional. Granny did as she was told and kept Sam busy for a bit while Redd walked out and started towards the wolf that had saved her life. It faced her and waited. Redd walked up until she was close enough to touch it, if she wanted, which she did. She held her hand towards the wolf and smiled when it pressed its muzzle into her hand. It had silky soft fur and looked at Redd with its bright blue eyes. Redd took a step closer. "I'm glad I'm not crazy at least." She half laughed at her little joke and was surprised when the wolf closed its eyes and shook its head slightly as if saying 'idiot'. The wolf turned and started to walk off then looked back at Redd as if waiting. It took Redd a moment of staring before she realized it wanted her to come with it. She inhaled deeply before starting to follow it.
