Ellie backed away slightly and looked more closely and indeed saw Diego and Shira leaving.
Meanwhile…
Diego and Shira had been sprinting for quite some time now, both feeling tired they stopped. Shira, who was still injured, realized how bad the pain was. "OW dammit!" she yelped when she placed a paw on her side. "I completely forgot about that." "Here, let me see it," Diego said coming toward her, he felt sorry that she got injured and wished it had been him. Whatever it was, which brought him back to reason they had come out here. "So," Diego started as he looked for leaves and other stuff to put on her wound. "So what?" Shira was clueless as to why Diego had brought her out here. "I want to know what happened and who, or what attacked you. Diego coming back with some vines and leaves started treating to her wound. Shira looked a little afraid, of course that could have been from the pain "Ouch, take it easy will ya?" "Sorry, so are you going to tell me or not?" Diego said. Shira sighed "Come here and sit by me and I will tell you everything you want to know." Diego lay down waiting for her to go on. "It was years ago, back when I was still in a pack." She began, "My pack were the Deltas, one of the strongest, well, next to the Alphas anyway." Shira smirked and looked at Diego who blushed slightly, "Anyways, our pack was strong, clever, cunning, and the smartest Sabers you could find anywhere. Then, of course, I was born, and things took a turn for the worse, my pack leader banished me from the pack, I was only four months old." A smile suddenly came to Shira's lips "Then I met another pack of Deltas who had no problems with my fur and I was welcomed in as their own." "I lived many happy years with them until," She seemed to falter almost sad. Diego gently licked her cheek to comfort her. "You don't have to finish telling me if you don't want to." He said "No I'm fine, so after some years, even though I was loved by them, I wasn't exactly theirs. So one night I ran away hoping to find something more, unfortunately, I did find something, my old pack. They were hunting and looking for something, they were furious when they saw me and began to chase me and I ran. Just as I about to be taken, that's when Gutt found me and saved me. I looked around my new surroundings and realized I was on a ship and looking back at my old pack, who were still yelling and swearing at me. Then several years later, I met you and the herd." At this, Shira turns to gaze at him, before slowly leaning towards him and kissing him. "But you still didn't tell me about the attack." "Darn it." Shira muttered to herself before sighing, "I was attacked by my old pack leader, my whole old pack is on this island and they want me dead, and will not stop until I am dead. That's why I left that night, so that I wouldn't hurt any of you so that it would be easier to forget me." Shira hung her head low, letting a few tears escape. Diego gently cupped his paw around her face and made her look at him. "Shira, as long as I'm here, I will NEVER let anything hurt you I promise." "Why?" "Because…" Diego looked uncertain before saying it, "I love you Shira, always have, always will." Shira, now crying tears of joy, buried her head into Diego's chest saying, "I love you too Diego with all my heart."
