Scarlet Snow

Tia laid on the riverbank motionless. She couldn't move, her lungs on fire from the cold and frigid air. She stopped shivering but in her mind she knew that was not the best of signs. Her body was giving up, her wolf however stayed strong in her mind quietly trying to warm and heal but she too was weak. The faintest sounds and smells of civilization washed over her for a brief moment, just enough to give her the strength to slowly begin moving her body attempting to pull them to someone who could help.Her body felt more heavy than she had ever known it could be but she made progress. The deep underbrush of the forest making it difficult to take every pain ladened step. As she sensed the sounds and smells growing closer she cautioned herself to hid in the tree line but for some reason was drawn away into the open field across from the parking lot of a large building. Her eyes met with the glimps of a young mans and her body collapsed onto the now scarlet colored snow.

Dante was so late for school that Micha was going to kill him.He had just gotten out of his car when the smell of blood came from the forest. He stopped and scaned the tree line. He mindlinked the gaurds and his brother as he kept himself between whatever or whoever was in the woods and the school filled with children. A quiet rustle from a bush brought his eyes upon a tiny strange looking girl. They eyes locked for a moment and with that he watched as she collapsed. He reached her just as the first guard did. Her body laid in a large puddle of her own blood. Her skin almost whiter than the snow around her. He barley heard her heart beating as he scanned the woods for anybody else. The guard linked with Micha and informed him of the state of the girl. They agreed to meet in the hospital and Dante scooped Tia up and ran with her to his car.

He ignored the blood dripping on his brand new leather seats as he placed her into the front and climbed in. The heater raged full blast but her tiny body was still a odd color of blue. He was afraid she would be dead before they got there.

Out front a doctor waited worryingly with a team of nurses surrounding an empty gurney. From what they linked to him this was life and death . The moment the car pulled up though everyone gasped at how close to death this little one really was. Her heart was barley registering on the monitor and they worked fast to give her blood and warm fluids in her ivs.  Dante waited patiently for Micha to show up to update him

Dr.Isia looked down at the small girl in front of him and shook his head as he worked. She was covered in dirt and blood. No one knew what lay beneath all of it. They were working to save her life. Finally after the second time she flat-lined and they brought her back she was stable enough for them to being treating wounds and getting scans.

Two nurses ran out the room crying and Dr. Isia had to calm them down after they washed her body off to address her wounds. The frail little body was riddled with horrible scars. His mind raced trying to keep his own wolf in check as he carefully examined over her. The one that hurt him the most to see was the most recent wound , her branding mark. He had never seen someone so abused and mistreated his entire life. Then when the scans came in he realized it wasnt half of what she had gone through. Nearly half of her bones in her body had been broken. More than ten fractures were under a week old. However he began looking closer and stunned by what he found he finally lost it all and slung all the scans across the room.  All this time they believed that they had been working on a girl around twelve years old.
