I wake up to a spine chilling breeze that happened to waft into the cave to see that I am alone in a pile of deer pelts. I couldn't help, but give a whimper to the sudden feeling of frost and loneliness return again. I step out of the cave to get a little more bearing on where I am again only to be hit with another strong blast of chill wind. The snow on the ground seemed to have picked up in height. After adjusting to the chill air I start sniffing the air to see if I would be able to pick up my markers only to find a stronger scent that seems rather... familiar. Thoughts of Him soon popped up into my mind and what happened the night before. Does this mean i'm gay? Does this mean the village would think of me more oddly? Will they even let me back into the village? So many questions yet not a single answer that popped into mind gave me peace. After much thinking and a big head ache later, I follow the strong scent through the woods. After a bit of tracking, I end up at the edge of an iced over lake.

After a few minutes of inspecting the lake, I found a small area in the ice where it seemed very thin and newly formed. Being as parched as I am after waking I decided to break the newly formed ice and take a few laps at the cold water. When I had my fill of cold water I started to wander around to see If I would find another trail of him to see where he had gone and maybe my way back. Soon I was able to pick a trail through the woods again, but in a different direction than his cave. Without a moments' waste I rushed through the woods following his scent. After a few minutes of sprinting I soon began to see his foot prints in the snow. His scent grew stronger as I picked up my speed following his trail. Soon his trail led me to a large bush where his scent seemed strongest. I slowed down to a stop a few feet away from the bush. Being as curious as I am, I thought about a few scenarios of what he may be doing in it. Since I am technically still a child since I haven't finished my ritual yet, I decided to pounce him for the fun of it.

I crouch down and crawled up slowly through the snow towards the bush. The bush shuffled a bit as I crawled foward reaching my pouncing distance. Then without any hesitation I lunged forward and soon in slow motion I could see a deer jumping out of the bush to the side as I lunged through the bush. My eyes widened as I soon realized once I turned my head forward again that I was over the cliff heading down a 15 foot 45 degree slope. I rolled harshly down the slope picking up snow on my fur as I went further and further, scrapping my arms and legs against rocks and shrubs hidden within the snow. On my way down, my right foot paw got caught in a shrub growing on the slope while rolling down, but just as soon as it was caught it was released barely slowing me down at all. Soon I reached the bottom of the slope feet first to try and absorb the shock, but felt a sharp pain pass through my right foot paw and up my spine as I crashed against a tree. I howled long, loud, and pitifully from the pain as I balled up into a fetal position clutching onto my foot paw hoping to ease the pain all in vain.

As I layed there in fetal position I noticed splots of red on the snow and the smell of blood heavy in the air. I look around my body to see if I was bleeding anywhere, but only saw white snow clinging into my fur. I rolled back up into fetal position and rested my head on the snow and soon felt a sting on the back of my head. Carefully, I reach to the back of my head and feel around only to feel another strong sting and something wet. My eyes widened again as I brought my paw back in front of my face only to find it gleaming with blood. Soon I was enveloped with cold and a drowsiness. As my eye lids began to get heavier and heavier, I caught a glimpse of a large figure and had a bit of a whimper as I drifted to sleep not knowing if I'd ever wake up again.

--------------------------------------Dream---------------------------------------

"Wake up.........wake up already....or you'll be late again."

I open my eyes slowly and wondering what I was going to be late for. To my suprise I wake found my mother nuzzling into my neck telling me to wake up. I quickly sat up shocked to find her next to me.

"Mom?..."

"Yes dear?" she replied with a smile upon her muzzle.

"Why are you...How?..." I said as I cringe in pain from a mild headache.

"Whats wrong dear? Did you have another nightmare?" she quizzed worriedly with a frown.

"No, it's nothing..." I said with a small smile so she doesn't worry too much as I got out of the bed as quick as I could and walked out of the room to the back yard grabbing a rag on the way. I made my way to the water filled bucket. As I stared into the water I noticed that my muzzle was short and then looked down at the rest of my body. I looked as though I was cub again. Shaking my head of the silly thought I cupped my paws in the bucket and brought it up to my face washing my face clean. Then I padded excess water off my face and paws with the rag and headed back inside.

"You breakfast is on the table, you better hurry or you will be late!" My mother exclaimed from the kitchen.

"Late for what?" I questioned as I sat down at the table.

"Don't be silly Rick. You'll be late for the first day of school!" She exclaimed with a serious tail hiding stare.

"But..."

"No buts! now hurry and get going!"

I gulp down the milk and grab small loaf of bread as I darted out through the door.

"Hey Rick!"

"Emily?"

"Who else did you expect to talk to you?" She said half jokingly.

This is getting weirder and weirder by the second. First my mother showed up out of nowhere then my childhood friend. My mother shouldn't even be here though... and Emily should still hate me for what I've done that day...

"Hello?...." Emily said with a bit of a frown.

"Sorry Emmy" Putting up another fake smile to not draw worry from her like my mother.

"So why are you late getting up this time?"

"Slept late, is all." Still smiling.

"Well, we better make a dash otherwise Mrs. Buten will give us the lecture again!"

"Right! haha"

We made a dash towards the center of the village only to hear the school bell ring.

"Dang it!" Emily said with a frown and ears dropped to her skull.

"My bad..." I said as I gave a lil smirk as we ran into the school.

"Your bad is right Rick Aleister and Emily Sterling."

"Uh oh...." Me and Emmy muttered as we turned to face Mrs. Buten.

"Why do you always come late on the first day every year Mister Aleister? And Miss Sterling, waiting for him every time just makes you late too so why do you bother?" Mrs. Buten said while giving us the all knowing eye.

"Well, uh..." I said while looking away.

"Never mind that now, just sit down you two so we can begin class already." Mrs. Buten said as she lead the way into the class.

"What am I suppose to do with you two..." She muttered, shaking her head as we headed different ways to our seats.

After sitting down I started to get another headache and start cringing in pain again.

"Rick, are you okay?!" Emily said as she stepped towards me.

"What is it now Aleister?..." Mrs. Buten said with a deep sigh.

"Miss Sterling please just do us all a favor and escort him to the village docter as I write a note for his mother." said Mrs. Buten with little worry.

"Right away Mrs. Buten!" Emily practically shouted while giving a half joking salute.

Soon the room was filled with giggles, whispers, and mumbles as rumors began to pass through word of mouth.

"He's faking it." One cub saying to the next.

"It's always Emily taking him to the docter." A female wolf would say to another.

"Maybe they planned it this morning, thats why they were late together." the other shewolf replied getting giggles from the two.

As the rumors spread like wildfire I stood up limping against Emmy. Emily soon started walking foward slowly with me in tow as we both made our way out of the lodge of a school house. My headache still screaming and soon some pains within my right foot paw as well made our way through the village square towards the run down shack of a lodge that housed our village docter who happens to be Emily's father.

"We're almost there Rick, just hang on." said Emmy with a bit of hessitation in her voice and almost sounded really deep in tone.

My headache soon disappeared, but the pain within my ankle seemed to only get worse.

We made our way inside, to find it poorly lit and the docter busy shuffling through papers.

"Ahem" Emily scoffed to get the her father's attention.

"Oh Emmy and who do you have in tow this time?" Her father smirked.

"H...Hi. Mr. Sterling..." I stuttered.

"Ahh, Aleister! Whats wrong this time? Did the other kids do something again?"

"No, just a sudden headache thats gone now, but now my ankle started to hurt..."

"Set him onto the bed and fetch some bandages for me Emily."

"Right away~" with a little bow she rushed off to the storage room.

"Now where does it hurt again Aleister?" The docter quizzed while rummaging through his herbal cabinet.

"My right foot paw started to hurt for some reason." I replied while whimpering from the pain.

"Lets elevate it first." He said as Emmy walked back in.

He gently grabbed my foot and lifted it up onto a pillow.

"Tell me if anything I do gives you more pain." He said as I nodded.

Soon he started to poke around my foot paw, but nothing increased the pain till he asked if I could bend it making me give a yelp and whimper from the pain.

"Hmm, did you fall or anything?" He questioned.

"No, not that I can remember."

"Then I think it'd be best if you rest here for a day or two and we'll see how you fare. Emmy go to Mrs. Aleister and tell her that Rick will be staying over here for a few days."

"I will do just that then." said Emmy as she made a dash out of the lodge.

"And as for you Aleister, get some rest for now."

"Alright Mr. Sterling." I said as I pull a wool blanket over myself and soon become enveloped in warmth drifting off to slumber.

---------------------------------------Reality--------------------------------------

As I slept I could feel warmth all around me and another sort of thing that was warm, but wet running all over me.

"Mom?..." I groaned.

Slowly I opened my eyes only to be met with large eyes staring at me. My eyes widened and I shot up to sitting position. I quickly looked back and forth sensing a bit of deja vu as I noticed that I'm back at his cave again. Soon the silent air was filled with whimperings as I turned back to him again seeing his eyes starting to tear up and a bit of a smile forming on his muzzle as he soon began lapping at me again.

"Enough already!" I shouted a little bit louder than I had meant holding my paws out to push him away only to start having a major headache and fall back down onto the pile deer pelts. More whimpers can be heard as he started to lap at me again while pinning me down with a paw. He only stopped to mumble to me from time to time before beginning to lap at me once more before cuddling around me. As his warmth enveloped me giving me comfort and protection, I gave one last glance at the big wolf and smiled as I drifted to sleep.
