As I entered the city had train tracks run through it and beyond it, I noticed the humans hiding in their homes and in the alleys. People were scared of new visitors. As I walked through the back streets, I found a pack of older wolves.

"Girl, what are you doing here?" an old man with a scar on his face spoke.

"Passing through, just seeing if I can find medicine and food," I spoke as I looked at each of them, one girl was among them.

"Where you from?"

"A little bit from everywhere I guess," I lied easily as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Why do you need medicine?"

I smirked as I unbuttoned my coat and showed them my bandaged side. I was grateful that I had found cold water to get the blood out of my coat. A few gasped and others laughed.

"What happened to you?"

"Got shot by some idiot, do you know where I can find what I need. That's all I need and I'll leave this village, I promise. The humans don't seem too keen on visitors."

"That they are, their scared of difference," the woman spoke. "Come with me and I'll help you."

"Thank you," I smiled and followed her into a house.

"What's your name?"

"Names are of no importance. I will be moving on soon anyway."

"Alright, understandable," she smiled and I pulled off my jacket as she brought out a medical kit. She pulled of the torn shirt and put on some ointment then properly bandaged it. Then she handed me a black shirt that I pulled on then I slid my jacket on. "Here's some ointment and dressings so you can do it yourself and not get any more infections and here's some food."

"Thank you, I'll be on my way now."

"Good luck, girl, and be careful. This village is dangerous for our kind."

I nodded and left like I promised. Outside the city, I followed the tracks farther until I found myself in a forest. I ran through the forest and after a couple hours, I found myself at a lake near a castle. I slid to the ground weak and drifted off into slumber.

I woke up to a strong sent of flowers that I only smelt when Cheza had been in the northern city. I sat up and saw her kneeling next to me, her hands on my wounded side. She was in the water and pouring the water onto my side. I looked at her and noticed that her eyes were red as she smiled.

I growled and jumped to my feet and moved away from her. She didn't seem bothered and she moved towards a rock in the water and sat on it. I turned back towards the forest and froze as I saw the other four that I had left behind. Kiba was walking towards Cheza and Tsume's eyes locked onto mine as he stood with Hige and Toboe. Then I turned and ran into the forest. I needed to find a place where I could stay and know that no one would get hurt.

"I haven't seen you before," a male voice from my left caught my attention.

I looked and saw one of the nobles. He had dark blue hair and an eye patch over his left eye. I shifted to my human form walked closer, smelling human and wolf from him.

"So, how does a noble get to have the smell of a wolf with him?" I asked. "Who are you?"

"Darcia the third, what is your name wolf?"

"Jordan," I spoke smirking.

"Come with me. There are humans surrounding this place," he spoke before turning into the forest.

I sniffed, realizing he was right and then ran after him.

"Tsume, come on," Toboe spoke as he started to go through the hole that that girl had created.

I looked at him for a second then sighed. 'I hope Jordan got away. The others probably didn't even see her in that garden. She looked like she was on edge around Cheza or something. She looked right at me before disappearing. I should have gone after her.' Then I ran after the others through the hole.

"Hey Tsume, what are you thinking about?" Hige punched my shoulder and pulled me from my thoughts about Jordan.

"Don't touch me!" I snapped. 'She just won't stop plaguing my mind. She was still injured. That wound was more serious than it looked. I hope she's okay.'

"Tsume, are you okay?" Toboe asked, crouching in front of me where I leaned against a tree. "You looked worried or something."

"Please, why would I do something so ridiculous as that?" I sneered. 'They can't know she was there.'

"Tsume think of the injured white wolf that cringed from my touch," Cheza spoke as she looked at me. "I was only washing away the infection, she doesn't like me."

"Jordan was there?" Hige gasped. "Tsume, you saw her?"

"So what? As soon as we got there, she disappeared into the trees."

"She may be dead!" Toboe gasped. "You should have said something Tsume!"

"She left this pathetic pack a couple times already. Why should I have said anything when she didn't want others to know that she was there?"

"You're heartless…"

"He's right," Kiba spoke. "She left and that shows that she doesn't want to be part of any pack."

"She held so much pain…" Cheza whispered. "Watching her pack be murdered as she hid… She used to live near that lake, near the birth of this one. Nobles massacred her and this one's family. She blames me for deaths of her family. That's why she doesn't believe in Paradise."

"She lied about her family?" Toboe asked sadly.

"More like changing it up some. She was a cub, the mind has ways to protect us from the worst trauma," Kiba spoke. "We should keep moving before the humans find us again. I think there's a village nearby, we could get some food."

"Alright, I'm starved. We haven't had much since that dead animal after we helped Jordan during the blizzard," Hige cheered as he stood.

'I do hope she is alive and well, where ever she is.' I thought as I got up and followed the others.
