" finally... they're gone..." aroura lays down exhasted from standing.

" you ok?" she asked tiredly

"Yeah." He yawns and lays down, both paws in the water as he drinks.

"Just a little tired.." He says between laps of water

" Then lets just rest... but if they come back what will we do?" she asked

"I say just join them... we need the help.." He whispers and falls asleep, exhausted

aroura fell asleep and the next day they were sourrounded yet again by the wolves

Arreon was standing this time, protecting her.

" AH! How long have they been there?!" she stands on her good leg and sighs.

" No need to bare fangs... we've made our disision... We will join you. but you must treat us as equals. Do we have a deal?" she said before looking at her mate, fear in her eyes.

He nuzzles her neck and smiles, whispering." It'll be okay." The strangers grin and agree to our terms but add on." You will let us help you and you'll try to eat the food we give you."

" ok... where do you live?" she asked. the strangers lead them to their pack and aroura was uneasy, she didn't trust strangers eaisly.

"By an ocean." Their leader says while he looks at the ground and walks slowly." I don't like this..." He whispers nervously and shivers a chill from his back before continuing to walk.
