Tsume's POV
'Screw this stinking journey, paradise can kiss my ass. I'm just…fed up with this stinking town. It's time to move on anyway,' I thought as I jumped over the edge. 'But…that girl, Jordan…did she make it out? I…I smell her!'
I looked at the ground and saw blood around an imprint of a wolf's body. It wasn't a lot of blood but it was still a considerable amount. I frowned and ran after the others as we left the city behind. I saw the splotches of blood as we went and my mind raced about that girl. At one point we had to find shelter in a cave and wade out a storm.
Oh man, I sure am hungry," the rung, Toboe, whimpered as he sat next to the porky one.
"Yeah, you could say that again." Hige looked half-out
"How long has it been since we ate anything?"
"I don't know, I guess it's been about three days or so."
"We've gone that long without eating?"
"Yep…"
A pained howl stopped the conversation on food and we all looked out of the cave. I saw a white clad form stumbling though the blizzard and then collapsed in the entrance of the cave. Kiba ran over and rolled the figure over and I recognized her immediately even though she was pale and breathing hard.
"It's that girl, Jordan!" Hige gasped. There was a patch of blood on her side that was frozen. I came over and lifted up her jacket and shirt and saw that her side was still bleeding and I saw infection starting.
"She's been bleeding for three days?" I asked surprised and saw that her body was shaking a considerable amount.
"How do you know?" Toboe asked.
"I smelt her blood as we were leaving the city, runt. Looks like she got hit when she left before us," I snapped at Toboe.
"Yelling at Toboe won't help her," Kiba snapped as he shifted to his wolf form and huddled close to her. "She's bloody and frozen. We need to help warm her up."
"And why would I do that?" I laughed as Hige and Toboe shifted to their wolf forms and pressed their furred bodies to hers.
"Because like it or not, she is female and a wolf! Our kind would never exist if all the females died off," Kiba growled, baring his fangs.
"Keh, whatever, help the pathetic wolf," I laughed and leaned against the opposite wall. 'Jordan and I always had an agreement. We stay away from meddling with each other's affairs. That's how the two of us have gotten along in that building.'
Hige lifted his head and then bolted out of the cave.
"Hige!" Toboe cried startled and ran after him.
"Tsume, please just help. You've known her, haven't you?" Kiba looked up at me. I rolled my eyes and he ran after the other two.
"Tsu…me…" I heard Jordan whimper as her body shook violently. "No…please…"
I looked down at her and saw that she was the farthest thing from being awake and frowned. 'She's dreaming about me? But…why?'
"Tsume…please, don't… don't leave me…" her eyes tightened as well as her hands and I shifted to my wolf form and curled up next to her. "Thank you…" something pulled at my fur and I almost yelped in surprise as I felt her fingers on my side.
"You two act like a bunch of idiots," I heard Kiba sigh as they entered the cave. "Well, well, now who's helping the 'pathetic wolf?' "
"…" I didn't move and ignored them. 'So…Jordan can sense my presence even in the realm of dreams. I should ask her about that, but why should I care? It's not like I care about her, do I?'
"Let's get some sleep while we can," Kiba sighed as he laid down on the other side of Jordan. The other two wolves huddled close as well and the cave became silent besides the steady breathing of us and the howling winds outside the cave.
I woke up, my body burning from heat. It felt like I was surrounded by space heaters or I had fallen in the desert. I opened my eyes and found myself looking at Tsume in his wolf form. I sat up and saw three other wolfs around me and I frowned. I was in some kind of cave and a blizzard was howling outside.
"What the…?" I muttered and stood up quickly.
"You're finally awake, are you?" Tsume scoffed and stood up in his human form.
"Why am I here? I was headed towards the next city," I whispered.
"You collapsed at the entrance. It was Kiba's idea to lay around you. You were shaking from the cold and your wound. Why didn't you take care of it?"
"Because I forgot," I whispered heading to the entrance of the cave.
"Where are you going?" Kiba spoke as he stood up.
"I appreciate your help but I am best on my own," I spoke.
"Let us treat that wound at least, Jordan. You could die if that becomes any more infected."
Jordan scoffed at Kiba as she pulled off her scarf and coat. She pulled off her shirt and ripped it up and handed it to Kiba so he could wrap her wound. She looked comfortable standing there half dressed, her arms crossed over her chest. Kiba tied off the ends and she pulled back on her coat and wrapped her scarf around her neck and the lower part of her face.
"See ya around," she spoke then walked back to the entrance.
"Wait, you're leaving just like that?" Hige growled as he woke up which woke up Toboe.
"Yeah," she laughed as she turned to look at us. "It's better if you didn't have me around. Someone could get hurt. Give up you paradise dream kid, you'll just get killed like my pack." I noticed that there was pain in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Toboe spoke sadly.
"Jaguara will kill you if you keep searching. Since I never believed in that fairytale, I was allowed to live. Give up," she snapped before turning and running out into the blizzard.
"Who's Jaguara?" Toboe asked.
"Lady Jaguara of the South City," I growled. "Any wolf that is found there is never seen again."
