Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rage turned her head and watched Amelie back away and she curled up tighter, feeling exposed and unprotected...even afraid. This wolf was so large, and darker in color like her, memories of fables of darker pelted woods and their strength and evil-ness that eminated through them shot through Rage's mind as she remianed before him, ready to scoot back again...but he cut off her escape by placing a paw behind her, what to do now.

Though Amelie did not seem afraid of him, so Rage wondered if there was anything to fear. Amelie was the only wolf Rage had seen in a few days, so it might have been expected Rage would be quite shy in such an unstable enviroment...at least it was unstable for her. So many thigns happening...so many places left and passed. With these thoughs her stomach lurched and made a growling sound, with the absense of food no doubt. But she ignored it, just as she ignored it while she had run away from it all. Though she was beginning to believe she had ignored it too long...perhaps thats why she couldn't walk, all the running and no food...it was possible.

Her heart kept beating steadily, though to others it would not seem so. Compared to another, her heart beat fast and too abnormally...it murmured to her, and ached at times...but she had dealt with it since she had been born. Being with such a heart was said to be a "precaution granted from the overseers of the world" to make sure she would not bring harm to any others. That was only said because of her appearance.

"Does she speak..." registered in her mind, though she heard Amelie speak and this wolf speak again, she couldn't gather the words in her mind, they jumbled together too much. Rage simply nodded her head slightly, ducking her head, as if trying to have it sink between her shoulder. Her amber eyes gleamed and peered up at the darker pelted wolf, wondering what would happen next.
"Rage..." she whispered, almost barely. Trying to give her name to this wolf without causing stress on her throat, dry as it was. She'd go take a drink from that big water lake over there if she could walk.

Rage tilted her head watching this black wolf question her name, it was an odd one she had to admit that fact. Amelie still seemed concerned, and this concern now seemed to be rubbing off on this black wolf.

Before she knew it Rage was picked up again, but this time in the other wolf's mouth, she nearly squeaked and she looked towards Amelie,
"He won't hurt me?" She asked, wondering if Amelie could hear her. What was this wolf's name? She wondered, as she was now higher off the ground than she had been before with Amelie.

She wondered if the darker wolf would taste smoke or blood on her fur, she hoped he didn't, but she hadn't actually washed her arms or pelt off in a stream at all, so it still might linger somewhat.

Rage felt very high off teh ground, and prayed this wolf wouldn't drop her, though it seemed he had an easier time carrying her than Amelie did. Though he did say "go back," she wondered where they were going back to. Rage watched the big blue water lake that smelled like salt lap along the golden dirt as her eyes fell back on Amelie, and glanced up at the dark wolf.

Rage understood what Amelie had said and nodded in response. Her amber eyes then trailed off to what they were passing now, in the forest they were, heavily wooded, yet there was grass all around. It seemed quite nice, just like...

No, no thoughts. Rage closed her eyes for a moment or two and pushed the images that were starting to escape into her mind, blurring her vision and making her see the past..."No,no, stop yes? Please stop...no want to see..." she pleaded with ehrself, with her mind.

She knew whenever they would stop, Phib would most likely ask where Rage had come from, where her family was, and how she ended up here. It was inevitable, she knew that, and she would have to tell. She sighed as her tail shifted a bit as she opened her eyes again, and watched everything pass her by. Her stomach growled at her, but she ignored it...again.

The wind blew gently, Rage could hear is rustle the leaves and branches in the shadowy canopy overhead. The wind calmed her somewhat, why she did not know, it just, it was all she needed to know. But now she was on a path to where she did not know the end, but she knew she was safe and protected, alongside her new friend. Amelie had shown her kindness, gave Rage a sense of hope, so that her mind would not torture her so much, and Rage would learn how to cope. Cope with teh images of pain adn loss that dwelled within her mind, that she would try to surpress and forget, but in her heart adn soul they would intertwine and bind.

To where they were going Rage did not know, yet she kept her heart beating steadily, eyes darting every which way to warn her of danger at any time readily. Here she was in a new land, foregin to all she new, but over time she believed she would knw these lands perhaps, as she got older and grew.

Would she be welcomed here she did not even know, she was a tresspasser omst would see her as even if she ran here while on the go. Worried she was that Phib would see her like she had been viewed before, she wished she could forget the past and no it no more.

Rage's past would make her stronger however even if she could not see, the basic forms and images in her head would form a key. Key to open new doors to new ideas Rage had never known before, only problem was facing the past which she wished she knew no more.

Though she was greatful to Amelie, but still feared Phib quite a bit, she could not help it though, she had just met him moments before this. Her stomach grumbled and her mouth still dry, Rage ignored it, no pain held in her eyes.

But then her heart began to ache, and beat fast and caused Rage to wince, she closed her eyes and ears flattened down, it hadn't hurt since... No, no thoughts of that,"No hurting now, please stop...I don't wish to have them worry anymore, please this pain I wish to not feel I do not..." She begged her mind and body, to leave her be and rest, listen it did not though, cope with this all Rage would try to hide pain and hunger she would try her best.

Rage watched as she was carried into another area, by what appeared to be a den. Placed down she was by Phib as Amelie was still arriving. Rage curled up and peered up at Phib from her position with confused and nervous eyes, Amelie had said he wouldn't hurt her at all, that he would help, but she still couldn't help but feel nervous...

Her mind began to flicker now, but not with images...well, yes there were some but Rage ignored them for the most part, only problem was that something else began to flicker, "See ho large he is? How he has control over others? He could do the same to you...you should run from here, you won't be welcomed..."

"But I don't want to run...Amelie helped me, she said Phib would help me too she said...""Nevermind what she said, look how he looks down on you, he can see your markings...can probably smell the smoke and blood...they won't want you here...""You wrong! Stop it go away! You lie!"

Rage seemed to wince for a moment, ears flattening against her skull as she argued with this...thing inside her head. Images flickered past her eyes as yelps adn screams echoed in her ears, all of this plus no food or water tormented her on the inside, she wanted it to stop...to go away, why couldn't she jsut let go of it all?

Rage shook her head to clear the images and she looked up at Phib with amber eyes that seemed saddened and nervous, confused and unsure of what to believe. She pushed herself to paw at teh ground in front of her and she scooted forward and curled up between his forearms, wrapping ehr tail around her. He was big and strong, he hadn't hurt her, Amelie said he wouldn't hurt her, surely he could make it stop right?....right?

Rage almost squeaked when he picked her up again and placed her now in a different place. His statements to her caught Rage offguard and she wondered how...Amelie most likely, probably trying to tell Phib to be cautious or kind of something, she appreciated that. But his question of if she was afraid of him still stuck in her mind,

"Afraid are you?""No...""Your lying...I can tell...jsut tell him, perhaps he'll end this for you...thats what you want isn't it?"NO! Stop it..." She cursed her mind adn pushed whatever that THING was from her knwoledge and presense and looked up at Phib with a type of apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry...its just..." she looked down, stared at the ground for a moment trying to figure out how to explain it to Phib, hard as it was for Rage to think fo it anymore. "Before...others didn't like me...where I came from, my h-..." she stopped, she couldn't say the word, she lost it, how could she even say it when she no longer had it? "They hated me and...despised me, yes, I just....." Rage stopped and peered up at him again, amber eyes fixated on his own, "Afraid I am, no, not knowing of what I am yes..." truth be told Rage didn't know what she was feeling.

Was it fear? Loneliness? Sadness? Nervous-ness? Couls be any and all of those, Rage sighed as her tail flicked once, she felt the air blow calmly and softly, what would Phib think of her now? That...that thing would most likely be right now, they wouldn't want her here anymore. This thought saddened her but she had to face the truth of what she was, perhaps it was time she accepted what those damned elder wolves said to her...

There was some truth behind Phib's words, even though he had not known the depth of teh situations Rage had been involved in, even at such a young age. She seemed calmed by his words, worried expression fading, a faint smile upon her face.

Rage tilted her head at the sound of her needing water...blood being best. Blood...she shuddered on the inside, the thought of her parents and sister flooding into her mind then fading. But water had no such effect, it just brought the cool blue image of that big water lake...thing from before.
"Water...like from the really big lake yes?" she asked.It did smell strange, but there was surely enough of it.

She tried to push herself to stand, see how ehr legs would hold out but again she failed miserbaly. SHe cursed herself in her mind and lay where she was, the ground was cool and soft, laying her head on her forearms she looked over towards Amelie with a smile, then back ot Phib, tail swaying a bit now, amber gaze wandering back and forth between them.

Rage tilted herhead at Phib, why not drink from that water? She did no know, but she was sure she'd find out later. is request for her to sleep was a bit out there and sudden, bute hte more she thought of it, she yawned and blinked, her eyes growing tired.

Phib had even asked Amelie to sleep, why though? Perhaps she was tired too adn did not wish to show it? Possible it was. Rage however considered and would do as Phib asked, Amelie said he would know good thigns to do to help, so she would do what he asked.

Rage glanced over to Amelie, she wasn't that far away...okay, she was a bit far but she could get there right? If she had to sleep, she didn't want to sleep alone, when she did after she ran away, the images came back and tormented her.

Pushing herself to stand she wobbled a bit but gained balance though she was quite low to the ground, having trouble holding her weight. She slinked over to Amelie, wincing while she walked, and she nearly collapsed next to her. Scooting next to Amelie Rage lay her head next the her and wrapped her tail around her frame and closed her eyes. Here she would be safe.
