Loki woke to the sound of the door opening, The light beamed in, aluminating the enire house. The light shined right through to Loki's sleeping area, in the corner by the window. Joseph always kept the certains closed, although Loki didn't know why, he never complained. The few seconds that the door had been open Loki had thought about the last few months of his life. It had been nine months since Irain had found him, alot has happend since then. Irain had found a mate, Loki had made a few good friends and Joseph finaly gave up his addiction to alcohol. although the past few months had given many good things, it has also taken things. Loki's mother had finaly found him and wanted him to go back with her, but joseph was alarmed by the Wolfs apearance at his house. She had walked right on in. Josephs first reaction was to reach for his 6.35cal pistol. He pulled it to the Wolf who attacked him, Joseph was forced to fire at the wolf. He Had shot her in the chest, piercing through the heart at point blank range killing her istantly. Also Loki had lost his Dog like apearance, he was beggining to look more like a wolf every day. This began to scare Loki, he knew that the friends he had made in the dog population of Nome would reject him, even the thought of him. Every day Loki felt les and les normal, his eyes where changing and his fur was turning darker, giving him a wild look.

The Door closed, Joseph tried not to wake either of the dogs. He was unsuccessful. Loki blinked the sleep from his eyes, and climbed to his paws. He looked over at Irain, then smled. Irain had been like a Father to him ever since his mother and step father had become so abusive towards him, he had to run. He had to get away before he was hurt beyond recovery, not physialy but emotionaly. The torment they caused him was terable and unforgivable. Loki had regained his memories not to long after Irain and Loki had first met. Although his memories where back, there was a few things Loki barried. kept away from himself. things he never wanted to remember.

Irain began to stir, he rolled over onto his stomach and yawned. He to had heard the door open and close, but he didn't want to get up just yet. Loki had a slight chuckle to hiself.

" C'mon old timer, time to rise and shine." Loki said trying to get Irain to finaly get up.

" Loki, what time is it?" Irain said still part asleep, he was unaware of Loki's 'old timer' joke.

" Late." Loki said without a thought of what the time might actualy be. Irain slowly rose to his paws.

" Hey buddy." Irain said still not quite awake yet. " i'v gotta go out today, are you gonna stay? Or have you got plans as well?"

" I'm meeting up with a few friends in town in about ten minuts, so i'll be gone. Why?" Loki asked walking over to his water and food bowls.

" I was just asking, Joseph will be gone until late tonight soooo... Trace is coming over and i was just seeing what you where doing." Irain said following Loki into the Kitchen.

" Rain it's your place remember, you don't have to ask me." Loki stated.

" I know, but i wanted to check with you first. make sure you wheren't planning anything," Irain had a little chuckle to himself.

" Dont worry, i actualy wont be back until about six or seven tonight. iv got a few things i'v got to attend to." Loki said,. he then walked over to the door. " Look Rain i got to go now, soo i'll see you later."

" Sure pal, cya later."

Loki walked Straight out the doggie door and walked right towards town. The path Loki took was one he had made himself through the months. it lead straight through the forest half a mile from Nome. Even though the path was longer, Loki enjoyed his walks through the forest. It made him feel more alive. Listening to the Birds chirp in the trees. watching the rabbit run like mad from him. Loki had always felt a stronger connection to nature than the rest of his friends.

Loki began to think of his friends, they all where so normal. they had the easiest life style, sleep eat and chill. all of his friends where kind of lazy, Loki was the one who made them all get out and do stuff. somtimes mischeviouse but too them it was all fun and time passing. Loki had never told his friends of what his true heritage was, he feared that they would drive him out, treat him like an outcast.

Loki stopped walking to the thoughts he had just had. The main thing that ran through his head was ' What if they do hate me for being differant?" It had been over three weeks now since Loki had seen any of his friends. He has changed so much since then. His eyes were now golden and his fur was darker than before. Now if any of his friends had seen him they would have laughed so hard. ' But would they realy do that? we are all so close.' Loki took a moment to suck up all of his thoughts. ' Theres no way, not after what i did for them in the past.' He continued walking deep into the forest witch lead straight to Nome.

The Forest seamed rather quiet, besides the birds and other little animals running around. Loki's footsteps where the only sounds. The trees swaved from side to side and the water flowed steady and buetifuly. Nothing could ruin the beauty of the forests natural sounds. Not even in loki's dieing breath would he think otherwise. ' Life is wonderful.' Loki thought to himself. At that moment he herd a scream. A distance scream of pain. Loki's ears spiked straight up.

"What the?" The scream echoed again. Loki wasted no time in running to the source of the sound. He came to a clearing just out side of Nome, not even five minuts away. Right there in front of him stood a wolf, a female wolf. For the few seconds Loki store at her he thought of her Beauty. She had eyes Greener than the Jade emeralds color in the northern lights. Her Fur Whiter than the Pure snow. And her beauty, there is nothing that could mach it. A few moments ago Loki had just said to himself that there was nothing more beautiful than nature itself. But this wolf, she was Beautiful. Loki couldnt even think of the words to describe her. ' Atsonashing? Stunning?' He couldnt even think of a word to describe the word he was looking for.

The Female wolf yelped in pain. She struggled and struggled but couldnt move. Her leg was caught in a bear trap. She was stuck, and in alot of pain. She looked around over and over, making sure there was no hunters coming for her. She was un-aware of Loki's presance. Loki slowly stepped forwards and studied the Female. The female wolf Looked at him, and gasped. clearly she could see the dog side of him and feard that he might be working for the hunter that set the trap. So she Growled in defence. Loki slowly stepped further closer and closeer. She growled again, and Loki Stopped in his tracks. The female stared him down and bared her teeth.

" Stay away from me!"

Loki continued to look at her, but instead of listening to her he raised his paw as if to say. ' Easy, im not going to hurt you.' But the Female didn't pay any attention to what he was trying to say.

" I mean it Mutt! Stay away from me!." She yelled at him, but Loki felt sorry for her current condition, not to mention he was staring at the most beautiful creature he had ever seen in his life. He started to ignore her words and walked right up to her. "What are you doing! i said stay away! If you dont leave i'll hurt you." She was very angry at Loki for not listening to her, but Loki wanted so much to help. But he was too scared to talk to her. " Are you deaf?" Loki stepped one more step into her path, She wasted no time. She bit His paw and she bit it hard.

"Ouch" Loki wined.

" I Said stay away from me!"

" What and let a beautiful female such as yourself be stuck in this damn trap and soon be shot by the hunter that will come after you next? Not Likley." Loki's paw bled from the bite and it hurt real bad, but he refused to show it.

"Why would you help me? wouldn't your master want another rug?"

" My what? master? No this guy isn't my master, i dont even know who the guy is who set this thing. Trust me, if i wanted you dead you would be dead. And i just want to help, so... will you let me?" The female wolf stared straight into Loki's eyes. As if she was staring right into his very soul. She looked at him for a few seconds before she finaly realised he was telling her the truth. that he wanted to help her not hurt her.

" Sure, im sorry. i thought you where on of those disgusting mutts that hunt us so the humans can keep warm during the night. thats how my family whent..."Loki looked at her and felt sorry for her.

" I'm sorry." The Female smiled.

" It's been about three months since that happend and ever since then, iv stayed around the town near by waiting for the dogs who attacked my parents to come out, then i will kill them."Loki undid the trap that had her leg cought pretty good. she climbed up and out of range of the trap. Blood dripped all over the snow.

"That doesn't look to good." Loki Stated.

"it will be fine." The female said.

"No, come with me. i'll fix it up for you. you dont want to be bleeding to death. Trust me, i'v seen it happen before. It's a terable thing to have happen." Loki started walking off into the trees back towards his house. The female looked at him as he walked off into the trees.

"you coming?" The female stared at him.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because, you need it. And i dont want to see some one so
