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


Grace's P.O.V

My wounds had healed to the point where they were practically scars. Two days of rest helped quite a bit, but currently, we were on the way to Ramisha's place to get Kiba. We had absolutely no idea where to go, so we went on instinct.

My paws ached from a long day's run as we slowed to a stop in a forest.

"Where in the name of the Creator are we?" I asked.

"Umm, I don't really know. It's gotta be some place with a lot of forest," Hige responded.

"Yeah, that really narrowed it down," I sarcastically replied.

"We're somewhere in Canada," Tsume spoke up.

"How do you know? We don't have a map or anything, do we?" I asked.

"First of all its colder than it should be. Second, we just passed the Canadian boarder. Didn't you see the sign?" Tsume asked with his attitude. I had no idea he could read. I hadn't even seen the sign.

"It's getting darker and I'm getting hungry again. I vote Grace and Tsume go hunt!" Hige blurted. I did't object, but I really didn't want to go. Nobody responded, so I set off after Tsume.

"Where should we look first?" I asked. Tsume huffed and that got on my nerves. We walked in silence while we passed some more forest. This place litterally never ended. I took a moment to look at the tops of the trees, but I couldn't see the stars over their leafy branches. For that one second I looked up, I tripped over a root.

"Watch it! You'll hurt yourself!" Tsume angrily replied to my mishap.

"Hey, I only tripped! It wasn't like I fell off a cliff! You just take care of yourself!" I yelled at him.

"Fine, let's just see how well you do on your own!" Tsume yelled back before running off. I was alone, in the middle of nowhere, lost. I was lost. To make things worse, it started to rain. I tried to sniff my way back to our camp, but the rain washed away all scent. I finally gave up and took shelter under a enormous pine tree. I lie down in the dead needles and waited. A few drops fell from the branches and hit my nose, so I shook them off and started to shiver. It was cold already, but the rain made it freezing. I shivered until sleep entered my mind.

I was alone. I was alone in the middle of blackness. Nothing was around me. I was alone. I could hear gunfire, but no bullets sped by. I could feel the heat of a fire, but the blazing flames were nowhere in sight. I was alone with all these strange things. I could hear my name. Tsume called to me. I could feel his presence, but I couldn't see him. I could hear the others call my name, but no one was there. Suddenly, a wolf appeared. It was the old wolf who told the stories to the pups. A few pups were gathered at his feet as he cleared his throat.

"Long long ago, there was no such place as Paradise," the old wolf began one of his other stories he used to tell. "The world would get worse and worse each day. The humans let the world decay little by little as their ignorance grew. One day, a wolf who's name has been lost, appeared. He promised the world that he would create a place for only us wolves to live free in. He promised a world where humans were no more and the world was a Paradise. With each promise made, a piece of a new world appeared. Soon, an entire world that consisted of harmony was created. The wolves retreated to this Paradise with hope, but that was not to last. Only one wolf made it out of the many that followed. The trail to this world was perilous with danger and famine around each corner. When they had reached Paradise, human kind attacked the wolves. The humans did not want this world to restart, especially without them. One wolf made it to Paradise out of the millions that followed him. When he entered Paradise, his name was then the Creator, or some call him the Keeper. Few other wolves have made it to Paradise, but for each of them, grief and sorrow contained them."

I was on the verge of crying. I knew the guardians of Paradise and the Creator. Brook, Breeze, Blaze, Forest, and Celest were their names.

"Wake up, wake up!" a voice suddenly screamed at me as I opened my eyes. There was another wolf.

Tsume's P.O.V

I don't know why I even bothered to let her come along with me. She was such a pain. As soon as I got back to the others, they were asking about Grace. I had to go find her, but the rain from last night washed away our trails and scents, so I had to call for her like a dog. I wandered around a few minutes, calling her name and talking to myself before I saw a monkey. Monkey? Monkeys weren't native to Canada.

"Hey, you, monkey, what are you doing in Canada?" I asked. The monkey turned around and swung down to me.

"Canada? I thought I was in Brazil! Hey, what are you doing here?" The monkey asked as it swung from it's legs and scratched it's head.

"I'm looking for a friend. She's also a wolf, grey fur, white muzzle, paws, and tail. You seen her?" I asked.

"Oh yes! She slept under that tree over there last night, but another wolf took her in that direction," the monkey pointed off to a distant place.

"Thanks," I said before walking off. I needed to find Grace, not chat with a monkey.

Kiba's P.O.V

"They are not in the U.S! If they were, we would have found them already! Either they are in Mexico or Canada! Where did you're friends go!" Ramisha screamed at the frail figure in the cage. I was practically starved. I could feel my bones poking my skin. I didn't have any idea where the others were, and I didn't know why Ramisha thought I did. I was stuck in this cage 24/7. I really didn't have an outside life anymore. I had discovered something, though. We were, for a fact, near Alaska. I wasn't sure where exactly, but near Alaska.

Ramisha stormed out of the lab room and slammed the door behind her. I pushed open the cage and ran. I had freed myself a while ago, but I had to wait until she was gone to escape. I ran to an emergency exit down the hall and pushed my way to freedom. I welcomed the fresh air and ran.
