a tale of finding inner peace( mature )

the wind picked up its pace. A white Wolf was running in the distance, running closer. as it sat by Leila, it was obviously not threatening, but gave out a calm, positive energy."are you Leila?" he asked

Leila looked up at the big white wolf, sniffling.

Yes... I'm Leila.

She wiped her face with the back of her sleeve.

he nodded."your father...wanted me to...help you on your journey...but some hunters tried to kill me...sorry for taking so long...call me Geri...I am a shapeshifting Wolf." he said licking her hand

Leila smiled, in spite of herself. This white wolf made her happy.

Well thank you, Geri... Don't suppose you can help me fix my lover here...

She shrugged one shoulder.

he then trasformed into a human form. his hair was pure white, but his ears were still visible. he placed his hand over wolf's body. a surge of light spun around him, bringing him back to his normal self. he slowly opened his eyes."I can help you too." he held her hand, bringing youth back into her body.

Leila watched as Geri healed Wolf, awe plain on her face. As he took her hand, she felt warmth surge through her body. She gasped and her chest bowed outward and her eyes squeezed shut. Her hair grew back long and blond, her skin smoothed out, her wings grew brighter, her skin paler. When the porcess ended, she gasped and opened her eyes, which were back to the normal color that thay had been before.

Thank you, she whispered. The sound of her own voice shocked her.

he smiled."anytime" he then got up."if you ever need...use this" he handed her a strange gem." your thoughts are enough for to come when you need me too" he then slowly dissappeared. wolf stood" feel like I've been hit by a boulder." he rubbed his head

Leila smiled at Geri and gasped when Wolf stood. She got up with him, threw her arms around his shoulders, and kissed him on the cheek.

Oh Wolf! I'm so glad you're okay!

he hugged her tightly." your young again" he smiled and kissed her

Leila grinned as her noticed her youth. She kissed him jubilantly, with passion; her fingers weaved themselves into his hair and she pressed her young body against his. She was flexing all her muscles, reveling in the strength she had once again.

Wolf didnt want his lips to part away from hers, His hands moved across her body, he held her close and closed his eyes."this happiness want last long" Growled Zedonius."I love you" his words parted from his mouth, kissing her with much passion

Leila gasped as he whispered the words to her.

I love you too...

Her lips rushed back in to meet his with urgency.

Valefor hid away in the trees, watching them."you dont suspect a thing little sis" he then jumped down and slowly made his way. Holding a spear

Leila sighed, her thoughts filled with Wolf and the softness of his lips, completely unaware of the danger from her half brother lurking behind her.

Wolf saw Valefor and pushed her away, he then went to stab Wolf.

Leila screamed and stepped in front of the spearpoint. It jabbed her clean through her torso. She gasped and choked on the blood that rose in her throat.

Wolf's eyes widened. Valefor was shocked but then smirked."thats all I need to do" he then took the spear out and ran off.Wolf got his coat and wrapped it around her body, Holding it tight as he lifted her up."please Hold on" he said, fear was in his voice for the first time

Leila coughed and gasped for air, the puncture in her side oozing blood. It had pierced her lung and she was finding it difficult to breathe. She summoned up her strength.

W...Wolf....I...I love....you...

She struggled to keep her slippery grasp on consciousness, concentrating on his face.


Call... Geri....

Just then Geri appeared and stopped Wolf from continueing on."Leila...close your eyes.." he took her from Wolf, who stood and watched carefully."I'l put you to sleep...when you wake up...you will be healed" he smiled and placed her on the ground."Take her to brutus...I got to take care of somethin." replied Wolf as wings sprouted from his back and flew off."Geri then placed his hands on the wound, focusing his energy as it slowly healed it

Leila faded into the welcoming blackness. She dreamed tortured dreams while her body healed. she coughed in her sleep, coughing up blood.

he lifted her up and took her back to brutus' home. brutus immediately took leila and tucked her in the bed."wheres wolf?" he asked."he has gone to confront Lord Loss" he replied."thats gonna be...interesting" he sighed" I'll look after her " Geri nodded and dissapeared.'lets Hope Rai can come back with some back up.

Wolf flew into the Window of the ruined castle and grabbed Balthazar."where is he" he shouted."calm down...just enter the chamber on the left...the portal is open...I'm not helping him anymore...I won't bother you...for now."balthazar quickly dissappeared, leaving Wolf confused. he looked at the huge double doors, his rage was increasing

Leila shuddered in her sleep, curling into a ball and wrapping her arms around her damaged torso as if to hold herself together.

he looked at Leila."dont worry" he whispered as he got up. he searched through a cupboard and took out a panflute. he sat back down and played a soft melody, somethin he would play everytime a guest was injured, as it had a calming, almost healing effect,

The music permeated Leila's tortured sleep and calmed her feverish dreams. She stopped writhing in pain in her sleep and lay still, her brow still knit in pain. She whimpered in her sleep and whispered,

Wolf......Wolf..... Can't let him....Kill.....Wolf.......

She coughed and doubled over in her sleep.

Brutus then finished the pan flute. he looked at Leila."hmmm....Wolf must want to kill whoever tried to kill Leila." he then remembered he had some faerie serum in his cupboard. he immediately took it and tilted her head back. he opened her mouth sligtly and poured some into her mouth."I hope this helps" he thought to himself
