DISCLAIMER: I do not own Wolf's Rain, only the idea for this story.

The Ones! The Ones! The Ones on Earth! No longer were they running the stars, but they were standing on the ice! They were standing on the ice! What if the ice broke! Grace didn't know what to think. So many thoughts swirling around her mind with no way to register them. Grace then noticed that the white one had started walking towards her. She hopped to her feet and growled. If they were the ones, then they were there for a reason. Grace couldn't think of anything bad, but what if they were fake! Maybe they weren't the real Ones!

They all started to come towards her until they were all off of the water. Then as quickly as it froze up, the ice dissappeared. Grace stared in awe before continuing her posistion. The white one looked at her a little confuzed, but that was when she realized that their eyes seemed duller than they should be. Were they blind?

~O~

The white wolf stared into the darkness. Was he blind? Were the others? Where were the others? Before he could realize it, blurry figures started to appear, followed by clearer images until he could make out every detail. When he started to observe the area, he was almost knocked off of his feet as a shock went through his body. His ears popped and sound floated in. Then his nose could smell. The others! They were behind him! He whipped around and ran to his packmates. They seemed to still be getting used to the area. How long had it been, three hundred, four hundred years since they had breathed air, listened to the wind, saw the beauty of the world. A restlessness grew inside of him. He turned around ready to run, but instead saw a grey female with a white muzzle, tail, and paws.

~O~

Well, if they couldn't see before, they could now. The white one, followed by the others, trotted over to her. She didn't know what to do. Pressure from an unknown cause kicked in and snapped at them.

"Stand back! Don't come any closer! State your names!" Grce commanded.

"Kiba," the white one spoke out, "and this is Hige, Toboe, and Tsume." Hige, the tan wolf, winked at her, Toboe, the red one, smiled, and Tsume, the grey one with the scar, just huffed and turned away. Grace growled some more before even thinking of responding.

"I'm Grace. We're in the mountain in the center of the Garden of the Ones," Grace replied.

"The Ones, is that what they're calling us these days?" Tsume retorted.

Graces eyes widened as she spoke, "So you are the Ones! That girl was right!"

"What girl?" Kiba asked.

"Yesterday, a pink haired girl who smelled like those flowers came out of the lake, said something about my destiny, and dissappeared," Grace answered.

"Cheza, wait. You said that she was talking about destiny. Did you call us?" Kiba asked.

"I guess so. I picked a flower, dropped it in the lake, and you guys came out," Grace spoke as if it was no big deal, when in reality, it was massive. They all seemed to be thinking. Grace sat down on the ground, her back against the stone wall. That's when it hit her. How were they supposed to get out? There wasn't like a stair case or even any ledges, except for the top. Grace hopped back up and looked around. There was no way that they could jump that high, even if they all stood on each other's backs and jumped as high as they could. Grace was also deep in thought when several ropes tumbled down. Men in uniforms slid down them, and before their scent hit Grace's nose, they shot at her. She dodged at the last second and back flipped over one of them. She growled and ran until she was ontop of one of them with their neck in her mouth. Now, the others had joined her. They dodged and killed for what seemed like forever. The guys just didn't stop coming. Grace had to figure out a way to get away. An idea popped in her head. She ran over and whispered it to the others who were all backed in a corner. Then, a bullet was pumped into her shoulder. The others growled and ran to some other men. Grace could see Kiba get shot before darkness took over her vision.

Grace woke with a start. Where was she? Why was she here? Had it all been a dream? She looked around only to find that she was in a small cage. Iron bars covered the only possible way other. She barked and gnawed at the door, but it still didn't open. She bit and twisted the bars until her gums were bleeding and her teeth felt like they would fall off, but she didn't even make a scratch.

"That's not going to work, I tried a few hours ago," a voice from above her mentioned.

"I've got to try, Tsume," Grace replied. Tsume chuckled, but he didn't say anything else. "Where are we?" Grace asked.

"I don't know, does it seem like I'm a human?" Tsume asked with his attitude.

"We're in a lab," another voice, from beside her, answered. It was Kiba.

"Why are we here?" Grace asked him.

"Why, only one of you is really needed here," a new, female voice replied. Everyone started to growl, including Hige and Toboe. "Oh, do you really have to be so mean? Here we go!" the voice said. Grace could hear a snap, but then her voice was gone. She was still growling, but nothing came out of her throat. "Don't fret, you can all have your voices back after I know who is who. I already know who you are my dear," the voice leaned over until her face was in front of Grace's cage. Two purple eyes met her gaze. "You are the messenger, and the others are what you wolves call, the Ones. I just don't know who is who," her voice sounded sad, but it was probably just an act. "Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's impolite not to introduce yourselves, no. Fine, I'll go first. I'm Ramisha, decendant of, and you so called Ones should know them, the Darcia clan!" Grace could feel the tension. She didn't know anything about this so called Darica clan, but it must have something to do with the others. Ramisha laughed and snapped again.

"Tsume," the voice from above her said.

"Toboe, a voice from her far right replied.

"Hige,"

"Kiba,"

"Grace," the word slipped out of her mouth. It was uncontrolable.

"Ah, it was this Kiba. The wolf with the favor of the flower. Where is this flower? She's not here is she. Well, I guess that my dear messenger has unfinished buisness," Ramisha laughed as she walked out of the door. Suddenly, the voices came back. She could speak again. She growled. This Darcia decendant wasn't going to use her.

"How are we going to get out? That woman is going to call Cheza and it will happen all over again. We'll die," Toboe whined.

"No we're not, Toboe! We are going to get out of here and keep Cheza as far away as possible. This all Kiba's fault! Our time here was over, we should have never come back!" Tsume yelled at Kiba, and Grace. She could feel the tears welling up inside of her. It wasn't her fault that she had called them or whatever!

"Hey, calm down, Tsume! It's not Kiba's fault. We are here to help rid this world of evil. We didn't know anything about what evil it was! No blame!" Hige shouted. Grace knew it was all her fault for this. Why couldn't she have just died with her pack. At least then this all wouldn't have happened. Grace drifted into a light sleep as Tsume and Hige bickered.

Grace woke with a start. She was back at the mountain. The stone walls still towered above her. How was she supposed to get out, again? Why was she even back here? Before she realized what she had done, a flower dropped from her mouth into the depths of the lake.

I'm trying to make the chapters longer little by little. If you still haven't seen my picture, if you realize that it it what I think Grace looks like then good for you! If not, now you know! I haven't posted because I have had three birthdays to go to in two days. It's tiring.
