I awoke with a throbbing pain behind my eyes, and afternoon sunlight gently streaming through the trees. Where I was, I couldn't say. It took several tries to finally pry my eyes opening, as each attempt only strengthened my already fierce headache. When I finally successfully opened my eyes, I found myself in a tiny clearing. It was surrounded by wall-like rocks, that seemed particularly high to me at that moment. The meadow itself was extremely small, and I would probably only need a few strides to make my way completely around it. Long, lush grass covered the ground and tiny stream trickled over the edge of the rocks, collecting in a small pool at the bottom. It looked like a small, untouched meadow; for good reason. This also begged the question of how on Earth had I managed to get here...
Then, suddenly I remembered. I remembered the sense of utter panic as I raced through the forest, before stumbling and, apparently ending up here... But, what had I been running from? As quick as the thought came to me, it slipped away once more. No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn't seem to retrieve the memory... I don't exactly recall how long I sat there, thinking, but an unexpected noise soon caught my attention, and I snapped my head around to look. Immediately, I was rewarded with a blinding pain that nearly caused me to black out again. I sat there for several more moments, eyes shut forcefully as a fought to remain conscious, until my splotchy vision finally cleared and the pain subsided.
Now able to see clearly without pain erupting in my head, I slowly turned to look at whatever had made the sound. My answer, though, was certainly unexpected. Two gleaming amber eyes met mine, and, shocked, I looked up to the white wolf sitting on the rock wall. He made no move towards me, but instead simply stared, his head cocked slightly to the side, as though asking a question. Although weak, I pinned my ears back and raised my head in the ear; a clear sign of aggression. Under normal circumstances, it probably would have worked, as having antlers was quite intimidating. As is was, though, I was weak, wounded, and my head throbbed so bad I couldn't even gain the courage to stand up. The white wolf simply stared at me, a mocking smirk on its muzzle. It appeared to be laughing at me.
Without warning, it jumped off the rock, and disappeared behind it. Admittedly, I was a little stunned at the wolf's reaction. Here I am, weak and unable to stand, and all it does it stare before disappearing again. All the same, I was rather grateful that the situation had ended as it did. Laying my head down against the soft, emerald grass, I rested my throbbing head. Eventually, I must have fallen asleep, for the next thing I knew the dusty light of dusk was illuminating the forest. Carefully raising my head, I immediately noticed the improvement. The brutal throbbing had lessened to a much more bearable ache. Though, the same could not be said for the rest of my body. With the rest had come a dull ache that reverberated through my muscles whenever I moved, just as what often happened after a long, tedious day.
A soft clicking of claws caught my attention, and I turned to see the white wolf once again perched on the rock wall. It's liquid amber eyes observed my carefully, but just like before, it made no move to harm me. All the same, I didn't quite trust the wolf. After all, why should I? They were carnivores, who had to eat the flesh of others to survive. Who was to say this one wasn't simply biding it's time? Cautiously, I lifted my head and gradually positioned my legs underneath so I could begin to rise. My stiff muscles made it quite tough, so it resulted in several minutes of attempts before I finally succeeded. My head swam as I lifted it, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it had been previously.
The wolf has shifted to lay on its stomach, golden eyes still fixated on me. I ignored the intense gaze, and instead turned my attention to the fairly steep rocks surrounding my little clearing. Under normal circumstances, I'd be able to make it without a problem, but being sore and wounded as I was? It was doubtful... Frustration and panic welled within me, but I quickly fought it down. The answer was easy; I would simply have to stay in here until I healed enough to exit my make shift cage... There was food and water here, and apparently company, I thought with a glance back at the wolf...
It was the middle of the night when I woke again. The moon was high in the sky, and penetrated down through the mist below, creating a spooky atmosphere. For a moment, I was unsure as to why I woke, but then I felt it; an unnatural, creeping cold. It started in my legs, and was gradually working its way through my body. With growing panic, I realized it was the same thing I had been running from only a night before. Struggling to get to my feet as quickly as possible, a fresh flash of pain cut through my head, reminding me of my injuries. Ignoring the pain, my eyes desperately sought the cause the chill, straining to see through the foggy night.
Then, I saw it. It appeared to be nothing more than a small, black cloud moving towards me, but the creeping chill of its presence alerted all to a much more sinister being. Breaking from my fearful paralysis, I slowly backed away from the shadow being. The cold rock pressing against my flank sent a fresh wave of panic through me as I realized this time, I as trapped. I could do nothing but stare at the mysterious, daunting being as it slowly rolled nearer.
An aggressive snarl broke the silence of the night. Bounding down from the rock, the white wolf appeared in front of me, snarling fiercely at the black cloud. It had appeared just as suddenly and as swiftly as the shadow creature, but seemed to have a much different intent. For amount, the black cloud seemed to almost recoil, as though surprised that something has actually dared to cross its path. It only lasted a moment, though. The black cloud swirled, and created a perfect mimic of the creature before it, expect that is was pure black in colour.
In a blur, the two wolves met in a fierce battle. I could do nothing but watch in numb shock as the white wolf lunged at the black shadow wolf, protecting me from its wrath. For several minutes they clashed, until at last they broke apart, heaving for breath and blood trickling from their new wounds. The shadow creature's blood stained the grass, filling the air with a wretched, pungent smell. It's black eyes flickered first to my savior, then to me, and back again. With a sudden growl of frustration, it turned and swiftly returned to its place in the bayou...
It took several minutes before I moved again, numb shock still making it hard for me to comprehend the situation. All I knew was was that this strange white wolf has deliberately put itself in harm's way to protect me... I simply could not make sense of it...
