Adventure Beyond The Red-Eye

Chapter 11: Meeting With The White Wolf

"Sora where are we?" I asked him. "In Hitaru-Shishiosuki Territory" he answered. "Hitaru what suki?!" I yelled. "HITARU-SHISHIOSUKI!" he yelled. "Is is always so cold here" Akoya complained. "Yeah, we're here in the worst part of the year" he said. "Let me guess Winter" I said.

"Yes" he said. "Hey guys, I see a cave over there!" Axel exclaimed. "Let's go" I yelled. We all trudged through the snow to get to it. Inside the cave was nice and warm. Everyone huddled together in the cave. "I'll get a fire started" Axel said.

"T-t-that w-w-would b-b-be g-g-great" I chattered. "Poor Rena she's cold" Silver said. "I'm fine" I yelled, getting up. "You need to rest" Sora ordered me. "Your not the boss of me, so I'm going outside!" I yelled. "Fine be that way!" Sora yelled. I ran out the cave.

"Don't you think you were a little hard on her?" Akoya asked. "She'll learn her lesson, when she's tired and has no where else to go" Sora said, his expression rock solid. I was outside with the wind and ice howling it's fury at me. "Stupid Sora" I muttered to myself. I began to shake more. "I should have listened to Sora" I said. while I was lost in thought, I tripped and fell into a snow drift."Ow! I should be more careful who knows what other surprises will find me" I said walking away.

"I'm going to find Rena" Sora said suddenly. "Anyone comin' with?" he asked. "I'll go you might need the extra hand or paw" Axel volunteered. "We'll be back soon, stay here and keep warm" he advised. "Good luck and bring her back safely" Silver said as they walked out of the cave. The wind was blowing with more force and power. "It's getting harder to see where I'm going" I yawned, "and I'm sleepy, I think I'll lay down" I said drowsily. I laid down in a soft snow and drifted off into sleep.

While I was asleep a girl and her sisters were gathering wood. "What's that?" a female voice asked. "Sisters I found something" the voice said. "White Wolf, Suzimaki come quick!" she shrieked. "What is it, Kazeriku?" White Wolf asked, calming the little wolf.

"Show us" Suzimaki said. "Suzimaki, you stay here with Kazeriku and collect more wood, I'll go check it out" White Wolf said. She walked over to my unconscious body and poked it, I stirred slightly. "White Wolf decided to bring me back to her village. "We're back!" Suzimaki yelled cheerfully. "Miss White Wolf, what do you have there?" the elder asked. "I have a traveler who fell asleep from the cold" she explained.

"What should we do?" a female voice asked. "White Wolf should know not bring outsiders in the village!" another one said angrily. Elder Kazuki, please make them understand, that this traveler was found out in the snow, I couldn't leave her there" White Wolf protested. The whole village erupted into angry shouting. "Everyone, everyone calm down, White Wolf's intentions were in the right place, I know she brought an outsider here," "it's against the law" a wolf blurted. "Hush Zimairki" the Elder said with a glare, "she'll stay here until she recovers, and after that make her sleep again, and ditch her on a snowbank" the Elder suggested.

Back at the cave, Silver was laughing her head off at Sora and Axel, shivering. "Did you guys find Rena?" Akoya asked. "N-n-n-no!" Sora exclaimed through chattering teeth. "What happened to you guys?" Meka asked them. "We tripped over a stupid snowbank" Axel said, curling into a ball to warm himself up. "I'll make a fire" Akoya suggested. "T-t-that w-w-would b-b-be n-n-nice" Axel chattered.

"Huh? what? I had this weird dream that I was dragged to a village made of snow" I said groggily. "The outsiders awakens!" a wolf yelled. I was scared and I lashed out making the Elder of the village pass out. "Was he important?" I asked. "Come with me" White Wolf said to me.

"Um okay" I said warily. "Your not serious!" Meka yelled. "Yes, we are, we're going to find Rena again" Sora said. "All right, be careful and stay warm" Meka advised. Akoya, Sora, Axel, Silver, and Kiba waved and walked out of the cave.

"What's the deal with the villagers calling me an outsider?" I asked her. "I'll tell you when we get where we're going, now stop asking so many questions" she growled. "All right, no reason to get mad" I said. As we were walking, I looked around the village. Snow was everywhere, smoke was coming out of the chimneys, the smell of hot food filled my nose causing my mouth to water, I bumped into White Wolf. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention" I apologized to her. "Pay attention, don't need you geting lost" she said to me. We continued on our way.
