#3 of Life From A New Perspective

    Chapter 3 - Surrounded by Strangers
    "Dad, do you think she'll be all right?"
    "Yep, I'd say so. She's still breathing and her bleeding stopped a while ago. 
    Once she gets some food and water she should almost be able to walk, depending 
    on how badly her shoulder is hurt."
    My eyes bolted open and I saw I was in the back of a den with an adult male and 
    a younger wolf between me and the exit. I leapt to my paws, head down and hair 
    raised, growling as deep as I could. The two males backed off slightly, startled 
    by my sudden change in stance. 
    "Whoa there, calm down. We won't hurt you." Said the older wolf, trying to speak 
    very calmly. 
    "Yea, don't worry, I won't bite!" Said the younger one, chuckling slightly. 
    "Hey there buddy, if you knew how many times I'd used that then you would know 
    why that doesn't bring me any comfort." I snarled, still growling. 
    "Look, I would suggest you lay back down, we don't know how badly you shoulders 
    are damaged, they might be broken." The older male said. My drowsiness wore off 
    and the pain was immediately relevant. My front legs buckled and I crashed onto 
    the ground with a grunt. 
    "Reenin, you stay with her. I need to check on the rest of the pack." Said the 
    older wolf. 
    "Ok Baldur, I'll say here." The younger one said, watching his father walk out 
    of the den. 
    "So, what's you name?" Reenin said hopefully. 
    For the greater part of a minute I just stared at him, trying to drive him out 
    so I could escape. 
    "Come on, open up a little bit." he said cheerfully, plopping back to a sitting 
    position, cocking his head to the side. Finally I decided to give a dog a bone. 
    "My name's Leandra, but don't bother learning it, I won't be staying for long." 
    I said, keeping away from making eye contact. 
    "Leandra, hmm. I like that name. It's very, very pretty. Just like your eyes."
    "Want to came closer and say that again?" I said tauntingly, brandishing my 
    claws and ducking my head low. He backed off slightly, but only just. 
    "Hey there, come on. Why are you so persistent in thinking we want to hurt you?" 
    He said inquisitively. 
    I dropped back on the ground, keeping a weary eye on Reenin. He soon laid on the 
    ground across from me, glancing occasionally at the entrance. As the afternoon 
    light turned to dusk Reenin's ears bolted up and he quickly looked towards the 
    entrance where Baldur was entering. 
    "We are back from the hunt, so if your hungry, umm..." He stumbled slightly. 
    "Leandra, her names Leandra." Reenin said, glancing between his father and I. 
    "Yes, Leandra, if your hungry then the meat if just out this way." Baldur 
    finished, half expecting me to get up. Rather than go for the food, I just 
    stared at him until he walked back out before I laid my head back down. 
    "Well, that wasn't very nice of you now was it?" Reenin said jokingly. 
    "And I give a damn why?" I snapped back, glaring at him. 
    "Well why are you so ticked off all the time?" He asked, looking slightly hurt. 
    "Either shut up or get out." I said, looking away from him. I'm not going to 
    lie, I was getting tired. Tomorrow sometime I'll escape; tonight my shoulders 
    are too hurt, but tomorrow I'll take off. Reenin didn't leave, but at least he 
    stopped talking. Dusk turned to dark as I went to sleep.
