Dahlia woke up in the middle of the night, deathly thirsty. She felt sore and crippled with scrapes, but she forced herself to get up and tiptoe slowly to the river to get a drink. When she got back to her thicket, she thought of how incredibly lucky she was to have survived the wolf attack. The scratches and deep scrapes on her back had finally stopped bleeding. What hurt the most now was the bite on her neck. Dahlia started licking her wounds clean, wincing at the stinging pain. After a while, she fell asleep again.

Aster smiled up at Alex, she felt so tiny next to his large frame. She shifted on her legs at his question, slightly uncomfortable but not wanting to show it. "Well it's really late and there might be danger." she said finally, "I'm too tired to keep walking. Let's find my herd in the morning." Aster spoke timidly and wished she could break the invisible wall of awkwardness. Then she decided to take a chance and do something she had never done before. She gave Alex a little kiss on his cheek and said lovingly, "I like you and would feel much safer if I stayed with you tonight." Her heart was pounding but she was smiling like a fool. The starlight shone into her big round eyes, making them sparkle.
