Hi all! School is boring right now, my teachers are nice but there is too much homework. I'm going to try updating about once a week or so. May not happen but I will try my best. Anyways, I know last chapter was sad, please forgive me. It is something that needed to happen in this story.

Will-"Wow, she is scary, please don't kill me off, I like being alive."

Gilan-"I got to agree with you, life is good."

Me-"Your all so mean, anyways, I love you Gilan!" (Huggles and Glomps)

Chapter 5.
A New Life and New Family

(Flashback) It was too much for her to stay in the house with all the memories. She packed a bag of food, clothing, and other supplies. She then grabbed her dagger belt and tied it on. Once she had her quiver of arrows and bow she left the house, never looking back.

(Present) Rin had been traveling for two days, with no idea where she was headed. All she knew was that she had to get as far away from her home as possible. She had walked through the woods, and now had no clue where she was, not that it mattered to her. All she cared about was getting her mind off what had happened.

She had walked hard so she was panting by the time night began to fall. As the sun sank, all heat seemed to dissapear, leaving her shivering. As sleep began taking over, she found a small hollow under a tree where she could curl up.

As the last of the sun's rays disappeared behind the horizon, Rin closed her eyes and fell asleep.

(Six hours later)

A howl interrupted the peaceful night. The Alpha female called to her mate. "I am here. Come to me." The wolf approached the form she had dug out of the snow. She had been out hunting for the pack when she had come across a strange scent. It had been snowing for hours, but she could still follow the trail with her sensitive nose. What she had come across had been a surprise. Buried under a foot of snow was a young girl. She had the ears and tail of a wolf. Her scent was even that of a wolf. However, she also had human features.

The wolves instinctive action was to run, however, she found herself approaching the strange creature. As she got closer she could hear the almost nonexistent beating of her heart. She found herself digging the rest of the body out without thinking about what she was doing. Once the body was free she did not know what to do. So she had called her mate. He was the alpha; he would know what to do.

So here she was, waiting for her mate. As she was waiting, she heard a quiet whimpering and immediately spun around. The girl had curled up and was whimpering. Her body was shaking uncontrollably and she was saying strange things that the she- wolf could not understand. Once again, the she-wolf found her body moving of its own accord. The next thing she knew, her body was curled around the small girl and her warmth was being soaked in by the shivering child.

A short time later she heard the sound of paws on snow, and out stepped her mate, followed by her son and sister. As soon as the alpha stepped into the clearing his nostrils flared and his eyes widened.

"What is this smell? What is that next to you, Quantana?" He said, stepping around his mate. The sight before him made him freeze. He had never seen anything like this creature before. It looked like a wolf and smelled like a wolf. However she smelled of no pack and its fur was missing in patches.

"What is that thing? What happened?" His gaze turned to his mate as his eyes narrowed. Quantana's eyes dropped to the ground in a sign of submission as she began to relate her tale.

At the end of her explanation she looked up to gauge her mate's reaction before continuing. "Amarok, she is still a pup. If we leave her here she will freeze to death if other animals don't kill her first. She seems abandoned; can we at least take her back to the den until she wakes up?" She cast large pleading eyes up on the black wolf.

Amarok looked at his mate. His eyes then turned to the two wolves looking at him from the forest's edge. The younger of the two was staring at the young girl; his eyes were huge and entranced. The older was looking at the ground, not showing any emotion.

After a minute of awkward silence, a sigh was heard around the clearing. All eyes were on Amarok as he stood up and walked towards his Quantana and the shivering child.

"Alright, we will bring her back and nurse her into health. As soon as she is awake we will question her. Until then someone will have to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't wake up and disappear." At this he gave a small grin and turned his gaze on his son.

"Felix, are you going to just stand there and stare or are you going to go help your mother bring the girl back to the den." At this the young wolf's ears perked up and his eyes widened. In an instant he had dashed to his mother who had just stood up. The second the girl lost contact with the she-wolf, she began to whimper.

Felix bent down and nuzzled her cheek, trying to comfort the girl. Both the girl and the young wolf appeared to be the same age. Felix, with the help of his mother, maneuvered the limp body onto his back. Once she was secure he carefully began to head through the woods towards the den, followed by his mother and father, his aunt coming last.
