Chapter 1 - The Meeting

*Maka's POV*

I had been riding Rain through the woods for a few hours and for some reason I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being followed. Rain didn't seem to notice anything - so I shook the feeling away. After a couple of hours it started to rain and I wanted to get out of this weather before it began to storm.

Within a few minutes, I found a small cave that could shelter both Rain and I. It seemed that no longer than a minute after I took the saddle and reins off of Rain, she started kicking around. "What's wrong with you girl?" I asked as I stroked her back. It seemed that my touch seemed to calm her down, but when she stopped kicking she got extremely stiff. "It's okay girl. I'm going to go get some food, you stay here and rest. You're going to be fine." I said in the same voice continuing to stroke her back.

I looked out of the cave and it was still raining pretty hard. I wasn't sure what exactly had scared Rain - but I knew I had to find some food, so I was going out. I took a deep breath and looked back at Rain. She had a very nervous look reflecting off of her eyes, I gave her a reassuring smile and headed out of the entrance.

*Soul's POV"

I followed the strange girl for a few hours when it started to rain. I looked up at the sky and figured it would be about two or three more hours before the sun would rise. I sighed to myself and went back to watching the girl.

What was with her? Why was she out here all alone? I mentally asked myself these questions. I was a little relieved when I saw her and her horse walk into a cave. I saw the horse starting freaking out and kicking the air. "Hmm, seems like I've been noticed." I silently said to myself to make sure no one could hear me.

The girl was stroking the horse and whispering words in the horse's ear. Though I couldn't make out what she was saying, it sounded very gental and kind. Soon enough the horse had calmed down, but I could see its clearly visible stiffness.

The girl was silent for a few seconds before she whispered something else to the horse. Then, she looked straight at me. I saw her turn back and smile a her worried horse, then begin walking towards me.

Either this girl is crazy, or she doesn't see me. I thought to myself as I watched her leave the safety of the cave. She began walking around the forest. She seemed to be looking for something, but I couldn't quite tell. That is until he saw her pick some berries from a bush and some edible looking mushrooms.

I watched her with such confusion and curiosity I didn't notice she was sneezing and coughing until she fell onto her hands and knees. I had no idea how I could help...

*Maka's POV*

I still had the slightest feeling of being followed as I wandered through the woods searching for some food suitable for Rain and I to eat. I ignored the feeling I had when I saw a bush with some ripe black berries on it.

I grabbed as many as I could fit into the pockets of my pants, then continued looking for more food. That's when I saw them, five or six perfect looking mushrooms just sitting there. I'm so happy to have payed attention to what my tutor had taught me on - edible and poisonous plants. I carefully studied the design on the mushroom and decided is was not poisonous.

As I reached down to pick them up I began to feel dizzy. I had totally forgotten it was raining and it was easy to get sick from being in the rain too long. However, I couldn't let anything happen to me, I still had to take care of Rain. I managed to steady my balance as I took another shot at grabbing the mushrooms. This time succeeding - but right afterwords I fell into a fit of sneezes and coughs. I could feel my knees buckle as I fell to the ground. That's when I saw them, two indigo eyes staring at me.

*Soul's POV*

I mentally debated with myself whether or not I should just leave the girl. I mean, it was her fault for wandering into the woods alone and then going out in the storm. Not to mention it was only like three in the morning so it was still pitch black outside. I was about to turn around and leave when I saw them.

A pair of indigo eyes were staring into the girl's pair of emerald eyes. I didn't know why I had gotten the feeling I did - but I felt like, no matter what, I had to protect this girl.

I sniffed the air a caught the smell of a mountain lion. So, this is what is hiding behind those bushes. I thought to myself as my safire eyes bore down in to the mountain lion's hungry, craving indigo eyes.

The mountain lion didn't even pay attention to me as her gaze reverted back to the girl. I could tell that if I was going to do something, I had to do it now. I took in a deep breath and stepped out from my hiding place in the trees and stepped in between the mountain lion and the girl protectively.

*Maka's POV*

The indigo eyes kept looking at me with such hunger and insanity in its eyes. I was beginning to get really scared when I heard rustling behind me. As much as I wanted to look back I couldn't, I was too afraid that if I looked back the creature the indigo eyes belonged to would attack me.

I made sure to show know fear on my face, but so many thoughts ran through my mind. Am I going to die? What is the creature standing in front of me? What is behind me? I didn't even get the chance to think through all of my questions when a huge white wolf stepped in front of me.

He looked at me, and I swear if animals could smile - then he defiantly gave me a smirk. I was shocked by the resemblance human characteristics. That's when I looked directly into the wolf's eyes. His crimson eyes seemed to hypnotize me. They were so beatiful, and such an odd color. I could have easily gotten lost in the wolf's eyes if it had not looked away from me and back at the monster in the bushes.

I heard snarls begin to come from the creature in the bushes only to have the wolf deeply growl in response. It almost sounded as if the wolf was... Protecting me. Was that even possible? Why would a wild animal do that for a human? I had so many questions I knew wouldn't be answered anytime soon.

When the snarls and growls continued I realized the two animals were communicating - and by the sound of it, it wasn't the nicest conversation. I secretly wished I was able to understand them - just to know what they were saying.

*Soul's POV*

"Move you pathetic excuse for a wolf!" The mountain lion snarled at me. I couldn't help but smile at the mountain lion's words. Little did she know her words would never have any affect on me because I was no wolf. I was indeed a human.

"Leave this girl alone." I growled out in a surprisingly calm manner. Considering everything that was going on I had know idea how I managed to keep my voice calm and steady.

"Why would a wolf stick up for a human?! They are worthless creatures and they all deserve to die!" The mountain lion spat out.

"Ha, I don't think they're all that bad. In fact - I think they are kind of cool." I answered as I brushed off what the mountain lion had just said.

"Then I will just kill you both!" She yelled as she pounced out of her spot in the bushes and landed on top of me.

I used my hind legs to push her off. She rolled over and quickly stood back up preparing for another attack. "You pathetic wolf, and your worthless friend!"

*No One's POV*

The mountain lion was seemingly faster than Soul and she managed to scratch a deep cut in Soul's arm. He yelped in pain, but quickly responded to her action by grabbing the mountain lion's leg in his jaws and threw her into a nearby tree.

The mountain lion stood up and staggered a few steps, showing off her fangs. In a desperate attempt to attack she charged straight towards Soul. He easily dodged the attack and grabbed her by the neck as she was running by him. He bit down on the neck killing her instantly with no pain. He murmured 'I'm sorry' to the creature before turning and facing Maka.

At the time Maka had been staring in amazement at the wonderful creature. Her smile quickly faded as she saw the deep cut on his shoulder. "I need you to come with me. You are seriously injured and if I don't treat that wound now you may die of either blood loss or infection."

Soul nodded his head as if to say 'ok'. He followed her back to the cave limping the whole way. Soul looked up ahead at the girl who was being kind enough to help his wounds. Which that reminded him - he had allowed himself to get hurt by a measly mountain lion.

Maka turned around with a sad look on her face - feeling it was her fault the poor wolf was limping. If she was stronger or hadn't wandered into the woods this wouldn't have happened. Maka looked deep into his eyes again and saw a hint of pain and sorrow, but if she hadn't looked really hard, all she would have seen was the 'not cool' expression he was hiding his true emotions behind.

There you go! I hope it lived up to your standereds as the reader! I wasn't planning on uploading this chapter for a week or so, but you all asked me to - and I always try to give the readers what they want.
