Two weeks later.. I sat on a high cliff overlooking an empty gorge, clouds filled the sky as I picked at my food, when I let out an annoyed sigh realizing, I’d ate the entire pouch and I was still hungry. Over the last couple of days I’d noticed my appetite coming back, so I’d spend most of the day’s walking around with an empty stomach! These damn pouches were only good as a snack and here I am using them as meals... I have never in my life gotten by on such little food that I could feel my wolf getting restless and hear her whining for something that could sustain us and let us sleep on a night with a full and satisfied stomach, not to mention she was moaning to be let out for a run, but I was still on edge about any rogues that may be lurking around. I still didn’t feel confident enough yet just to walk and run around freely without my guard being up and listening out for every sound and watching for anything that moved. I had to keep telling her off and reminding her we weren’t
It’s been three weeks since I fought those two rogues, I’d only come across one more and from what I could catch off its scent it was a male, but he didn’t look bothered when he saw me and he just took off in the opposite direction, he ’wasn’t skinny or bony so maybe he hadn’t been here much longer than I had… luckily I’ve managed to eat well, surviving off of rabbit and squirrels although the squirrels were fast fuckers so it was mainly rabbit but they were all enough to sustain us each day and allowed us to sleep without felling hungry, not to mention my bag was a lot lighter now I didn’t have to carry food bags around with me each day. After a few days of sleeping in whatever safe places I could find I knew I’d have to settle somewhere and start living a bit more in one place for a while at least, all this travelling each day and sleeping in trees wasn’t helping me to feel at home here and my body was starting to feel tender from sleeping in awkward positions! I Had just come acro
Florence POV: We pulled up to the main gates, it’s been six weeks since I’ve been home, I looked to mum and dad who were smiling just as happily as I was, excited to be home. One of the pack guards came over to greet us as we drove in ”Welcome back Sir Alpha Madam Luna and Lady Florence it is so nice to have you home safe and sound” “Oh were just fine” my mother replies ”were so happy to be home though” “that’s great, I’ll open the gates for you now” he walked back to the gate and called for it to be opened from the inside.. we nodded our heads in thanks, and our driver took us through our little city. When we left six weeks ago I had never seen it, so although it only took ten minutes to drive through the narrow roads, I still took it all in, with my face practically pressed up against the window, I couldn’t wait to explore it properly and get to know the people here. We came out of the city and reached the village, but I noticed it seemed different today, although I had never be
I woke up the next day and removed the bandages and just as I had expected my skin had completely healed, thanks to my quick wolf healing. I led back down and decided to sleep some more I wasn’t feeling hungry just yet and I lacked the motivation to have anything else to wake up for… no people and no responsibilities. When it reached around noon I finally decided to wake up and have some fruits I had collected to eat. I got dressed and grabbed all of my bloodied bandages and left my cave, I walked for a few minutes then dug a deep whole and put all of the blood stained items in it then covered it back up, so the scent wouldn’t be tracked easily. But it occurred to me that I couldn’t keep chucking out my clothes.. No… I needed something airy but something I could wear over my clothes every day and wipe clean… I looked around at the forest hoping something would catch my eye that I could fashion into something… but how the hell am I supposed to make some sort of wipe clean clothing ga
Florence POV: It’s been over a year now since we lost Lelanna and things hadn’t gone back to normal, at least not for Sam and Layton or her family. I thought back to when we had started the search for her, the warriors that had been handpicked by Layton and Sam had searched high and low even with Layton and Sam by their sides, day and night, but still week after week, month after month, they would return with no news. They would come back and tell me, father and mother that there was no scent, lost clothing or weaponry, nothing at all that could lead us to her or even to know if she was still alive. It gradually had a draining effect on them both. Luckily the three groups of 12 warriors we had picked to join the mission had stuck to their word and not told anyone, they had all shown their loyalty, but for most of them they knew Lelanna or knew of her and they all held a high respect for the fact that she was a skilled warrior and so close to my family. I remember Sam’s face when La
Two years and eight months later I leapt from tree to tree chasing down the last rogue from the group of 8 that attempted to kill me and failed, although this one had the big vile mouth and was happy to kill and eat me, he is now the one that’s running fast as his skinny legs could go and from what I can hear, he’s yelping out of fear.... good, I love it when I scare them…. serves the assholes right! He kept looking back as he ran trying to see if I was chasing him down and I had to stifle my laugh as he was clueless, I was trailing after him through the trees. Just as he come to a stop, puffing and panting, thinking he’s safe I moved ahead and dropped down from the trees landing in front of him with a big grin on my face, startling him. “Where do you think you’re going you little coward? from what I recall, you’re the one that wanted to tear my limbs off” "I’ll fuckin kill you, you bitch” he spat as sweat ran down his face and his eyes raised up in fear I tutted and shook my he
One week later I had eventually left that night but every day for a week I have been coming back and so have they, however they haven’t been staying as long. But they had a plan… of course they did. I wish I could just march through the boarders and communicate with the Alpha and Luna here, but I know that I must smell like a rogue just as much as these idiots did, I’d most likely be caught, arrested and left in a cell to rot or killed before I even got to speak a word. My old pack was a lot more merciful to lone rogues than other packs that I had heard about. We’d always show restraint and give the rogue a chance to speak before their fate was decided. Most of the ones that crossed our boarder were scared and desperate to escape the forest and have a safe home, but some packs weren’t as lenient. I might be able to take on and kill a handful of rogues by myself, but I didn’t know my chances against skilled, trained warriors and I didn’t particularly want to take my chances. What wa
I woke up the next morning, stretching my arms and legs in my sleeping bag, I rubbed my eyes, then they suddenly flashed open as I remembered what I was supposed to be doing today, or more so, who! even saying in my head “I’m seeing Heath today” felt so strange. I quickly got up and put on some shorts and a strap top and my boots. I left the cave and took my leather armor and ran down to the stream not far from the cave. one by one I started to wash each item in the water, once it had all been scrubbed, I did my usual… cover it with Lavender. I had no idea how I smelt now, and it made me feel a bit embarrassed to think id stink like a typical rogue. I headed back home and hung all my stuff in the tree outside as the sun shone brightly above me so I knew it wouldn’t take long to dry. I decided to check all my traps as I hadn’t done it yesterday, luckily, I had caught two rabbits and a squirrel. Today I’ll cook one of the rabbits I thought. The cooked meat melted in my mouth as I ate
