Molly

Red the color of a brand new penny swerved in and out of trees. The red blur was moving to fast to see clearly what it was, due to bushes covering it up, yet you could see some red between the branches and leaves. Thin black legs stuck out in front of the bush that the blur was now laying behind. Molly was panting due to the rabbit she just chased all the way from home. Not to mention she didn't even cetch it! The fae groaned and hauled all of her weight up onto her four legs and continued walking.

Molly dug her nails into the side of the tree and began climbing. Of course any wolf could climb a tree but not like her mom. Cecilia, her mother could hop from tree to tree faster than a wolf could run on the ground! Molly of course tried to do the same but it was a lot harder than it seemed. She layed down on the branch and began dozing to sleep. Her ears and tail twitched as a fly would land on her glossy fur. Her one foot slipped and Molly was jerked down from the branch and landed on her side.

The fae snarled and out of the corner of her eye she saw the rabbit she chased all the way here. Molly bolted full speed at the hare. But apparently she just wasn't suppose to eat today. "Fine I'll starve!" She was angry at herself, she knew her parents trained her better than that. She should be able to catch twenty rabbits if she wished! Molly decided to head home, she started walking and a little while after she realized she didn't know what way was home. And even if she did who knew if her family was still alive with the disease outbreak.

Looking to her left she saw a cliff. Curiosity took the best of Molly and she inched her way to the edge. She had a bad feeling about it but she wanted to see anyway. Her body became tense and she stiffened up. Her red fur soaked up all the head from the sun, but she still felt cold. Almost as if there was some on watching her, an eerie feeling. Looking down over the edge she say bodies of dead wolves, some rotting some just died. Molly just sat there staring.

Javin jogged through the woods, he never walked unless absolutely necessary or if he was tired. He would do this every day no matter where he was he would jog through some woods or some plains just to think about what he was going to do for the day. He never really liked this forest, it was too eerie, even for him, but he could never think straight without his jogs.

He was about half way into his jog when he saw a rabbit. He thought to himself, "I might as well hunt, this rabbit is just begging to be eaten." He dashed after it, but as if it knew exactly when he was going to pounce it would always put on a burst of speed right before he could catch it. What was wrong with him? His family had the bloodline of the fastest wolves out there, how could he miss a single rabbit? He shook himself, "I must be having a bad day." he told himself.

He decided to climb a tree to get a surprise attack on it. His long, sharp claws dug deep into the wood, and almost got stuck, but Javin pulled it out and continued climbing. His extra long claws weren't useful all the time. When he got into the second lowest branch he looked down at the rabbit, it was still there chewing on something. He got ready to pounce, but right before he jumped a bird flew off somewhere with a squawk and the rabbit ran off. "Ruin my pride and then run off huh?" Grumbling he jumped down, and sat down, exhausted.

After resting for a bit he decided to go in the direction of the rabbit, maybe he would find the it's burrow. He started at a jog and burst into a run. He just loved feeling the wind rush in his ears, tail flapping in the wind behind him without a care in the world. He kept running until he reached the edge of the woods. Why would the rabbit go here? "Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere." he mumbled. He started to turn around when he saw another wolf, he was close enough to tell that it was a female and looked about 2 years old. She was staring down over the edge of the horrible cliff that gave this place the eerie feeling. He headed towards the cliff next to her and stared down over the edge. He hated this cliff and all the deaths it has caused in the past. He could imagine too easily a wolf running over the edge and falling into the ocean or into the sand. "Scary place huh? Too many deaths have been caused by this cliff."

Molly

Sweet lyrics danced their way into Molly's ears. She jumped back and yelped. Her fur stood up and she snarled at Javvy. "You scared me!" She relaxed and looked at the dark wolf standing before her. The fae sized him up, yes he was bigger than her. In fact he as a lot bigger than her. Yet he didn't seem that intimidating. Molly sat there staring, head held high, that was until she saw his claws. She slunk two steps back, making even more space between her and him. "Uh ..... yeah. It is pretty creepy I guess."

Molly smelt a rabbit close by, she scanned the bushes and spotted it. "My rabbit!" She took off and darted after it. But after it got away she realized how rude that was and she returned to the brute. "Sorry about that, that was rude." Molly cringed and spoke again. " It's just that I've been after that dang rabbit all day!" The fae walked to wards the black male. She walked around him, her tail brushing up against his chest. Molly pulled away and squeaked. "You're hot!" She touched her nose to her penny red fur. It was hot but not like his.

The little fae tilted her head when she thought about what she said. Good thing her fur was red otherwise you'd see her blushing. "Not like that. I mean your fur it's warm." Molly looked down at the ground. She just realized she might be offending the brute. "I mean not that you aren't attractive. I .... I... I mean not that I like you either." She fidgeted and shifted her weight from one side to the other of her body. " But that doesn't mean I don't like you. I .. uh mean I don't know you."

Molly lowered her head and tucked her tail under her body in a act of showing the brute he was the dominant one. After all she wasn't looking for a fight. But the fae just couldn't find the right words with out offending him or having some one take it the wrong way. "Just ignore what I said," she gave a faint smile and continued, "I'm a babbler that's all." Molly squirmed where she was standing and began looking behind her. The young wolf wanted to leave but figured she should hang around until he spoke up.

Javin wasn't surprised at her reaction, unfortunately a lot of wolves thought him as a bully or someone that might hurt them, especially when they saw his claws. He was used to this, he knew if they got to know him then they would be surprised to see him hurt another wolf. He was actually surprised that he talked to her straight in the first place, but now he was a bit lost for words. He guessed it was the cliff that was disturbing his thoughts so he tried to concentrate.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." he felt his cheeks grow hot and lowered his head so she couldn't see. His body was quite hot from his chase that day, but he ran so much he was used to it and never really noticed. His muzzle broke into a smile and he tilted his head when she tried to find the right words. He never thought himself attractive anyway so he wasn't offended at all.

"It's OK I know what you were talking about, besides babblers aren't so bad. So um you've been chasing that rabbit too? It doesn't act...normal. I've been chasing it for most of the day that's why I'm so warm. Sorry I don't think I've introduced myself, my name is Javin but you can just call me Javvy or Jav if you want" He shrugged and continued, "Don't mind my claws family bloodline you know? So what's a young wolf like yourself doing out here in this......eerie place? It's not very safe out here especially with this cliff here."

He looked over at the cliff again. The sun was starting to go down and the sky was getting darker. He made a mental note to himself that it might rain soon and to find some shelter from the rain. He turned back to the wolf and sat down. Now that he wasn't actually running he noticed how tired and exhausted he was. He let his body fall and put his head in between his paws. He frowned as he continued. "It's so sad here, as if the whole place is mourning for the innocent deaths it's caused." He stared across the ocean watching the waves batter at the shore, pulling some of the bodies out to see, and the sea changing colors to a blood-red.

[stage53]

Molly

"That's okay I mean anyone would have scared me, I thought I was alone." She left out he might not have been so scary if he didn't have the longest daggers she'd ever seen! Or the fact that he was black, the color of most of the evil wolves in Sobibor. None the less Molly's mom always said to get to know some one before you accuse them, other wise her mom and dad would have never been a couple. But her dad wasn't as scary as Jav, well at least to a small pup.

Molly scrunched her nose as he spoke. "No way! Babblers are terrible they let all of their secrets out!" She thought about all the things she said even though she shouldn't have. She laughed to herself. "Yeah it's a tad off I suppose. Maybe I ... I mean we better not eat it. We might get it's crazy disease or something!" But Molly was quite hungry, but that could be put off until another time. "Name's Molly. Well that's a nice name. Javvy." Well it had a nice ring to it, unlike her plain and simple name.

Molly laid down her head perked up. " Yup I suppose I'm young. Just about two but not yet! And here, it's not terrible but it's nasty I suppose." She got up and looked over the cliff at the bodies. The smell made her back up. They air started getting sticky and thick. The hot wind danced around her belly. "Well I didn't try to end up here. I just got well lost chasing the rabbit. No sidetracked I suppose!" Molly was thinking about what sounded right. And once again she couldn't make up her mind.

The fae laided down across from Jav, looking him in the face. She tried to understand what he meant but she just couldn't. Molly just shrugged it off and whispered, "Yeah..." She wasn't quite sure why she was whispering but it just seemed to go with the eerie feel. Molly looked up and saw it getting darker. "Oh no! Do you think there's ghosts here? We better go!" The pup shot up and started dancing on her toes anxiously and squealed. She did not want to see any dead wolves, plus it looked like there was a storm coming.

Javin chuckled to himself and smiled. "Well that's a matter of opinion. I used to have a great friend that was a babbler. He never let all of his secrets out." He got up and stretched his strong muscular legs and yawned. Remembering his old friend. Good memories. "Yeah who knows what desperate creatures will eat, but that rabbit was really weird. If it did eat something or was diseased it helped it." Javin started getting anxious. He never liked just sitting around. He always felt better and free when the wind battered his face and flowed through his fur. It was the most amazing feeling, he felt like new energy was flowing through his veins whenever he ran.

"Yeah I guess. Molly isn't so bad either, a nice original name." He caught a whiff of the cliff again and crunched his nose. "Well I don't like this place one bit. Gives me the creeps, not to mention it stinks." Javin raised his head and added, "Almost two huh? I may look a lot bigger but I'm only two and almost a month." He went back into his humble state, or what he imagined as his humble state, and sat down staring over the sea into nothing, imagining all the memories, from good to bad, sad to happy, exciting to boring, since he left home to now. "This place is easy to get sidetracked or lost in, for most animals. You see, I like to go through territory after territory looking over them and taking in the scenery and the rushing of the wind against my fur as I run through the territories. I like to call myself an explorer, if you could call that exploring, seems the best title for that to me." He shook himself and focused back into the present.

He laughed and reassured her. "I'm sure there are no ghosts here. We should get you back home though, it's starting to get dark, and if it starts raining we could be in real trouble and it would be a lot harder to find your way back" He got back up again and started running in place. "So....are you ready?"

[stage53]

Molly

Molly listened to Javvy as he spoke about his friend. She was listening so closely just so she could bring Jav out on something. And the fae found it. "Notice that you said he never let out all of his secrets. Which meant he let out some. Plus my opinion means most to me." Molly tilted her head. Teasingly she said, "Well you are quite the babbler yourself if I do say so myself. Takes on to know one!" The fae laughed, her eyes watching Javvy. She knew quite well some wolves had bad tempers, which her brother did but not towards her.

Her eyes scanned the bushes looking for the brown fur of the loony rabbit. She knew quite well she shouldn't eat it. After all she didn't want it's loony disease! She clenched her teeth and mumbled, "Yeah but I still want to catch that stupid thing!" Molly almost jolted forward, for a second she though she saw the rabbit but it was just a twig. "I think I'm going to catch that thing one day! I just hope I remember not to eat it!"She chuckled and then laid down on the ground to cool down for second. "It's hot out!"

Molly decided not to protest when he said he liked her name. It wasn't that she hated it, but she just didn't like it either. She sneezed because the wind had tossed a leaf onto her nose. "Don't say that! They might get offended and come get you," she squealed. Molly was referring to the ghost who he said smelled. After looking to make sure no ghost where coming she continued. "And you most certainly are not two! You are huge, way to big!" The fae shook her head in disbelief.

She wanted to leave and go find somewhere else to talk. The ghost were coming and so was a storm possibly! She was barely listening when he heard saying something about sidetracking. "Well I suppose you should be happy I was sidetracked!" Molly laughed, "Other wise you wouldn't have met me. And there are much worse places I could have ended up at like... um... The Love Or Lust Fields!" Molly was told by her parents never to go there unless with a brute whom she trusted to protect her. More on the naive side she didn't know why, but she knew her dad brought mean slaves back from there and they all had stupid puppies!

Explorer huh. Molly thought it would be nice to travel the world. Or even just see everywhere in Sobibor! But her parents kept her on a tight leash, afraid she'd end up as a slave some where. But Molly wasn't planning on heading back quite yet so she figured she could follow him around some. Well just maybe if he didn't get annoyed with her. "Oh don't say that! It'll make the ghost mad." Molly scrunched up her nose.

"Well I suppose we could go." She stood up and sat there thinking for awhile. As questions and comments formed in her head she knew she had to ask them. "Where exactly are we going?" Molly knew that where ever they were going, she would end up spending the night there because a storm was in fact coming. "Oh it's going to rain. But I don't intend going home actually." She look at Jav who was obviously ready to go. "Well not yet anyway." She walked over and parked herself right next to Jav their sides barely brushing. "Lead the way." Molly smiled.

Javin stopped his running in place and chuckled. "Well I guess you caught me. Yes he did let out most of his secrets, but the most important ones he managed to keep. He was still a great friend." He turned his head to look back at the woods then turned back too look into Molly's eyes and shrugged. "Yeah I guess I am quite the babbler when I get to know the person, but I'm more like a....." Javin stuttered trying to find the right word for his personality. "A daydreamer than a babbler." He looked back at the forest again, hoping to find the rabbit. Maybe it wasn't sick or diseased, maybe just special, just like him.

Javin turned his head back around and laughed, then teased, "Well maybe instead of catching it you can talk it to death." Javin sat down on the cool grass. Another bad side of having black fur, heats up quickly and gets extremely hot. "Yeah it is hot outside, but it is the summer and not being under the trees for protection from the sun makes it even hotter." Javin sighed and shrugged "OK OK I'm sorry "ghost" that I insulted your smell." He looked over at the falling sun. They would need to leave soon and find Molly's parents soon.

Javin heard something about him being too big for being two. He chuckled and shrugged. "I am most certainly two! Like I said before, family blood-line. My father is huge and my mother has long claws." Proudly he added, "My father was also one of the fastest wolves in Sobibor." He wanted to add that's why he was so fast, but he didn't want to overdo it. Javin frowned and bit his lip when he heard the Love and Lust fields. He never wanted to go there again. He had bad memories of that place. "Yeah that would have been really bad if you ended up in the Love and Lust fields!" He sighed, again with the ghost. "OK OK I'm sorry that I insulted you ghost."

Javin looked up, the storm was heading their way. He raised an eyebrow when he heard that she wasn't going home right away. "Yeah we really need to find shelter. It will start raining soon." He smiled and blushed as she came up next to him. "How about we head...." He looked around trying to find the way that looked like it would be the best for shelter. "That way!" He pointed his muzzle in the direction of a thick forest that he thought was the way he came. "We'll go that way." He ran off as fast as he could and stopped at the entrance to the woods. "Well what are we waiting for? Come on!" Javin chuckled.

[stage53]

So he did let out his secrets! Molly knew it, she just knew it! Thinking she realized that she didn't tell all of her secrets. Like who her family was, or even who she liked. She never let anyone know who she liked. Molly raised her eyebrow and spoke. "Well I don't let out all my secrets either, like who I like." She moved closer to Jav. She whispered, "But if you wanted to know I'd tell you. The thing is I'm not sure who I like yet." Molly grinned when Jav agreed with her and tried to daydream.

She shot him a glare when he told her to talk it to death. She wasn't that bad was she? She was annoying him wasn't she. The fae began to fidget, she didn't want him to leave her just because she talked to much. Molly had a worried look on her face. "I'm not that bad am I? I mean I'm not annoying you am I?" She sat there staring at the ground. Molly really wasn't concerned if he was hot. They were going into the trees soon plus the heat felt good to her.

I'm not as hot as you are. "Wanna feel?" Molly didn't care how he responded. She brushed right up against his side. Her penny ride coat shinning. "See? But you're right you are hot-- Er I mean warm." She watched him as he looked up at the sky it was getting dark and she had a wry grin as he apologized. Molly protested again, "You are not two! Two year olds don't go running around by themselves!" Molly listened all about Jav's bloodlines. She nodded occasionally letting him know she's listening.

"Well I suppose your pups will be very well of then." She left out that'd they'd be scary and probably rule a land for their whole lives. The pup felt bad for the wolf that had to fight Jav or any of his mini clone pups. She cocked an eyebrow and looked at Jav. "It wouldn't have been so bad if I ended up in The Love ad Lust Fields." She pointed her claws at Javvy and growled. "I could take anyone on that was there." She looked at Jav and figured she'd ask him.

"But that is if I knew what they do there. Dad won't tell me!" Molly scrunched her nose and continued. "Do you know? Everyone I ask laughs at me." Molly frowned as she thought about all the adults who laughed at her. "And there's this one pup younger than me in my old pack who knows!'' Molly didn't liker her any ways so who cares. She grinned again as he apologized. Now the ghost wouldn't follow them into the woods. The fae waited as she waited for Jav to lead the way and watched him dart to wards the trees.

Molly screeched and started running after him and tried to keep up. He wasn't lying when he said he was fast. She figured she could try to climb trees her mom's way. She started climbing and jumped from one branch to another. "I'm doing it!" She was now confident and started jumping from tree to tree almost as fast Jav running. But molly jumped on a branch that was too thin and she started to fall.

[♫ TheDarKNinja ♫]

J a V v Y

Javvy was speechless. All he could do was stand there, shifting his weight and blushing. He was also surprised she trusted him already. Then again she hasn't lived the life of an explorer. He considered one of the number one rules of exploring is to never trust someone right away. He smirked and decided that he would have to prove that she wasn't trusting him for nothing. He was startled back into reality with a question from Molly. "Um no! that's not what I meant! I was just teasing you that's all. Trust me your not annoying me at all."

He winced when he said, "trust me." He sure hoped she could. He also hoped she couldn't see him blushing, he always had strong emotions and a strong heart. "Uh yeah your not as warm." He felt some heat, and something like a spark or a shock when she touched his side. "Having black fur doesn't help." He was glad that she thought he was older, but he didn't like how she treated him as a total weirdo for not being with a pack or a family.

Javvy shuffled his feet and continued, "Yeah well I'm not a usual two year old, as you can already tell. It's a long story, maybe I can tell it to you when we find some shelter." He nodded as she went on to talk about his pups. He just hoped that they wouldn't be judged for the outside like he was. He listened as she continued onto the Love and Lust Fields. He frowned again. He hated that place out of all Sobibor. He never knew a more dangerous place for a female. It could wait for later.

When he dashed off and Molly followed him he smiled. Finally they could go find shelter and get away from that cliff. He looked back again, expecting her to be lagging far behind, but when he didn't see her he almost panicked. Where was she? About that time he heard her shout from above. She was leaping limb from limb on the trees like a squirrel! He had never seen anything like it.

He was just about to put on a burst of speed when he heard a crack and Molly shrieking. He put his paws down and rolled to a stop. He ignored the pain from the cut in his shoulder and started running again back to where he heard her shriek. He found her on the floor next to a tree. "Molly! Can you hear me? Are you OK? I'm so sorry I shouldn't have run off so fast!" It was his fault for going off so fast! He sat next to her looking over her trying to communicate with her and looking at her injuries trying to found how bad it was.

[stage53]

Molly

Molly was happy when Jav said she was just kidding. She didn't want to chase him away just by bothering him. She lost lots of friends because she talked their ear off. Well their was still time to talk his ear off and drive him away. Molly made it a point to talk less. Or well at least try to, but there was no guarantees. " Oh okay just let me know when I'm talking too much!" The pup forced herself from talking anymore and listened to what he had to say about the heat.

She knew just what he was talking about. Her legs were black and were always a lot more uncomfortably hot then her red fur. And Jav had it so much worse because he was completely black. Which meant he must be dying of heat! "Well once we get into the shade it'll be a lot better." She was extremely excited when Jav said he might tell her a story later. She knew he'd probably forget so she made it a point if she remembered to remind him that he promised. "I like stories!" Molly was grinning because she wanted to know about his family.

She just hoped he didn't ask why she wasn't returning back to her family. She just didn't want to be bothered by them, except maybe her mom. Not that she didn't like them, but they just treated her like a baby. Molly scrunched her nose at them thinking she was a baby. She knew Jav probably didn't know she was in the trees and she tried to look through the branches to see if he was looking. She started to get careless and before she knew it she slipped and everything was dark.

After what seemed like was forever, heard a voice. As she came out of conciseness, her whole body ached. She wasn't sure who was calling her and for awhile she thought it was her brother. "Shalome?" But then she realized it was Jav. "Sorry Javvy I thought you were some one else!" Groaning she looked at her body. She was covered in cuts but it didn't look too bad. "No it's my fault! I'm sorry I scared you I'm fine!" Molly knew she was lying. She felt terrible but Jav looked so upset and she didn't want him to be.

[♫ TheDarKNinja ♫]

J a V v Y

Javvy was overcome with relief when she opened her eyes. He was almost beginning to think she may have broke her neck or back. Her reply startled Javvy. Who was Shalome? When she said she was fine Javvy could not agree. He bit his lip as he looked her over. He had seen enough of injuries in his day being an explorer. He once dislocated his shoulder falling off into a ditch. He managed to get up and found a old wolf that put his shoulder back in place and took care of him. He was very good at remedies, cures and medicine and taught Javvy some stuff. Fortunately she didn't look too bad from what he could tell with the old wolf's teachings.

"I don't care what you say, you are NOT OK, you just fell from a tree! How did you DO that? That was amazing! I mean besides you falling. I guess your not such a normal almost 2 year old yourself." He started to relax and felt the pain in his shoulder again and it grew when he tried to move it. His dirty muzzle broke into a grin as he added, "I don't know which is in worse condition, you or me." All of a sudden the leg with the hurt shoulder gave out from under him. "Ugh this shoulder hurts like crazy. At least your some what OK, besides pretty bad cuts and bruises. Mental note to self, don't stop suddenly while running at full speed."

He looked over himself. He felt a lot worse then he looked. The only real injury he had besides bruises and small cuts from sticks in the grass was his shoulder. There was a pretty big gash in his front left shoulder that had sticky cool blood flowing out of it mingling into his black fur, making it a evil, black blood-red color, he shivered. He must have run over a pretty sharp rock or stick. "I'm fi-fine. It was definitely my fault. I just wanted to show how fast I could go." He shrugged. "That's what I get for being mister showoff. Well now we get more time for stories, I guess." He shakely got to his feet. He tried flexing his shoulder, but when he it collapsed under him again. "Stupid rock cut my shoulder when I stopped and rolled over."

He walked/slid over next to Molly "So are you OK? I mean really OK? You look pretty bad."

[stage53]

Molly

Molly couldn't help but protest when Jav said she wasn't okay. He couldn't tell her! "No I'm not I'm okay!" she squealed. She chuckled as he asked about how she could climb like that. "My mum taught me. Though she doesn't fall." Molly blushed. "We tried to teach my dad but that's a lost cause.'' She grinned as he told her she wasn't a usual two year old. "Well at least I don't wander around without any family! Oh wait never mind I suppose I just did, didn't I?" She laughed.

Molly could answer that question. He was way worse than her, he looked like he was in so much pain. And she knew she caused it. "I'd say you." She sighed. It was all her fault that he got hurt. But she didn't mean to fall and him have to come help her. Molly whined under her breath. She had gotten them both hurt! Well she supposed she'd suck up the pain and find some shelter. Molly stood up and squealed as she put pressure on her sore legs. "See? I can stand!"

She turned away from Jav and winced. Molly looked at his cuts. You could barely tell that they were cuts, it looked more like Javvy had killed something. "You really look evil now!" She couldn't help but joke, trying to lighten the mood a little. "It's not your fault! You never told me to climb the tree!" She giggled, "I could have ran on the ground like a normal wolf. But I'm not normal so...." She laid back down giving her legs a break from all the pressure. Grinning she said, "Nothing's wrong with showing off! My brother does it ALL the time when he likes some one!"

Molly was ecstatic when he said they'd have time for stories. She couldn't wait but she knew their health was more important right now. She scanned the ground looking for a bloody rock, she thought she found one but wasn't sure. "I'm fine! Gees if you weren't a male I'd say my mom was here!" She paused for a second and giggled. "Just kidding! But guess what?" She shook her head. "See over there? That's a cave and we need to go there before it rains." She slid over so she was right against Jav. " I can help you walk if you want or can?"

[♫ TheDarKNinja ♫]

J a V v Y

Javvy knew she wasn't OK, but she apparently wasn't going to admit it, so he decided he'll just play along. "Well I'm glad your OK." He chuckled and grinned. "Well I guess I'm not the only one who has very special parents." He didn't like to think a lot about why he left much, it was in the past. "Well you got lost and didn't purposely leave, and right now the weather is definitely not good enough to go find them."

Javvy looked over himself again. His shoulder was now bleeding badly and hurt like crazy, he looked like he killed something. "Yeah I do look evil, not like I didn't before." Javvy sighed. Why did he have to look so evil? He hated it, always scaring little pups and other wolves just by walking by. He wouldn't hurt a fly. "At least if someone comes our way won't think we'll be easy prey. I'm glad you can stand." She had a point, but if he slowed down she probably wouldn't have tried to do her "trick" "I guess it's both of our faults."

Javvy stiffened. Did she assume he liked her for showing off? He sure hoped not, besides who would like him as more than a friend? He shook it off, chuckled, and continued. "That's great! Now we can get out of the open and into some shelter." He looked around at where she said the cave was. There it was, a small opening in a rock wall of a cliff. This definitely wasn't the way he came.

It wasn't huge but was probably big enough for them. A shiver of joy and nervousness jolted through his body. He hadn't had another wolf in the same place he was sleeping in since that old wolf found him. It didn't help her being a female.

He looked up at the now clouded sky. It could rain anytime now. "Thanks, but I think I can stand." He tried to stand, but his shoulder screeched against it and he fell back down. "Well I guess not, good thing it isn't far away." He leaned against her as they started to walk towards the cave. "Well it could be worse...we are still alive right? And we have shelter."

[stage53]

Molly

Molly was glad Jav was finally seeing it her way. "I'm glad I'm good too! I don't want to me hurt like you! Then how'd we get to the cave!" Her eyes widened and it looked like she had just seen a ghost. Which was just what she was thinking. In her high pitched voice she squealed, "The ghost would come get us!" She was very concerned about the ghost and doubted that she'd forget about them at least until she fell asleep. "Oh yes my parents are very special. Wolves go after my family so I'm not allowed to talk to many wolves."

She looked at Jav concerned. She had spoken to Jav without her parents permission. And Molly really didn't know that much about him. He looked like a wolf her dad wouldn't let her go near but she was used to that now, she didn't find him scary at all. Plus he was nice and the wolves she couldn't talk to were mean. They tried to kidnap her mom once. But then again he might just be acting nice so he could take her away from her family. But he did try to help her when she fell.

Molly decided he wasn't one of those wolves out to get her family but figured she might as well ask. "You're not out to get me and my family are you? Because then I'm not allowed to talk to you. But I doubt you are but I need to check, after all you're very strong and could hurt me so I think those wolves would certainly hire you." Molly scrunched her nose, she knew she was babbling again, but she needed to know even if she thought she knew he wasn't.

"Oh but I did leave on purpose! I went after the bunny I just didn't mean to leave that far. And I don't think I'll be returning home.... at least not for a little while." She nodded. Not that Molly didn't like her family but it was nice to get away now and then. Plus her parents smother her and don't let her have any fun. After all she knew her parents would not have let her speak to Jav and then they wouldn't have had all their fun!

Molly bared her teeth and laid her front legs on the ground her head right above it, her back legs straight up, and playfully growled. "Don't worry with me they won't think we're easy prey!" She pounced a rock in front of her and grinned, "I can hold my own! I could get them for us!" She didn't like that he was still trying to take the blame. She frowned but decided not to protest, she knew it wouldn't get her any where even if she was right. "Yeah sureee. What ever you say."

Molly was about to protest that Jav couldn't stand but he was too fast. And he was back on the ground before she knew it. Giggling she nodded as he agreed to let her help him. In fact he did weigh quite a lot. Of course she didn't want to make him walk so she sucked up the weight and actually trudged along. She looked over at his face, he seemed kind of worried. "Are you okay? You look...worried. Are you afraid of the dark or something?" She whispered to Jav, "To be quite honest I am a little especial with the ghost around" Once at the cave she anxiously waited for Jav to lay down so she could collapse next to him. After all carrying a bigger wolf was hard work!
