and he whispered: “So that....” and then he looked back at Renna and said in gently voice: “I won`t hurt you...”

“Stay away from me!” she cried.

‘Dad, Mum, Mut, Jon, Danny! Where are you when I need you?’ 

----------------

“Sarge! Kraut in this house at left!”

“See him, Kinley! Cover me! I will try to get him!”

“Hey, Tom, where is yer dog?” it was McShaw, Danny`s master.

“Renna! Where... oh damn!”

 

Mut was rallying his troops. “Where is Renna?!” Others were silent. Mut sniffed and tried to catch her scent.

‘Yes, no doubts about it.... she ran this way...’

“You two... stay here... or hide yourselves somewhere near! I am going to find her!”

 ----------------

“Stay... away... from me...” Renna growled, but despite her warning he was advancing towards her. ‘Will I be able to kill him? Or... just hurt him...?’

Then he suddenly stopped and quietly said: “I`m Wolf... what`s your name, please?”

‘No, no, no! It isn`t supposed to be this way! He is an enemy! He is supposed to kill me, not to talk with me... what... should I do?’

“I don`t tell my name to the enemies!”

“But I do. And you are the most beautiful enemy I have ever seen... Please, what`s your name?”

‘It`s a just name, anyway. I will tell him. Maybe then he will leave...’

“I`m Renna...”

He closed his sad eyes and whispered: “Beautiful name... I am sorry for that... Please, tell me, will I see you again?” And there was so much hope and wish in this question and he appealed her so much she stopped growling and said: “I don`t know.... You are enemy, after all...”

“I will die if I won`t see you again...”

 

“YOU WILL DIE RIGHT HERE!” Mut was standing in the door, and looked like a demon.

Wolf didn`t wait for a moment and he ran away, but he managed to add: “Renna, I will find you...”

And he was gone. Renna was shocked. Was he foe really? He was so kind to her....

“Renna, I say, are you all right?”

“Oh, Mut....”

“Easy... it`s good now... I am here.”

Renna hugged him and began to cry. He sighed and whispered: “Allright... he is gone...”

“But... you... didn`t tell me...”

“I know... they aren`t all bad. Some of them are nice, but then they will stab you in your back...”

----------------------

After short gunfight, Germans decided to fall back. They were from recon team, too.

Wolf ran to the place where he parted with his companions. He had to think about Renna all the time. “Ah, here you are, Wolfgang, where have you been? Hiding yourself as always?” one rottweiler smiled on him. “Oh, Manfred, you ....” Wolf laughed, too.

“Enough, you two!” Doberman interrupted their thoughtful dialogue. They both stopped talking. “The truth is, you were both hiding, isn`t it?”

“No, sir...”

“Shut up! Another retreat... and why? Because of your poor...”

“Pardon me, herr Feldwebel?” Doberman stopped as well. Right behind him stood another doberman, but bigger and more friendly-looking.

“Och, herr Leutnant...”

“Good... another retreat... yes... but it`s not Wolfgang`s and Manfred`s fault. They are good and brave soldiers like you, Reinhardt. It would be futile to fight for one little village. We are loosing this war...”

“Herr Leutnant?!”

“Yes, we are losing this war... whether you like it or not. But now go... we are still in range...”

They went silently along witht their masters. Wolf made it to his lieutenant: “Can I speak with you, Wilhelm?”
”Whatever you want, Wolf...”

And that was the reason Reinhardt hated Wolfgang so much. He was the lieutenant`s favourite one. He allowed just few persons to call him Wilhelm, not only by Herr Leutnant. Wilhelm treated Wolfgang as his own son. ‘What a protection!’ Reinhardt thought.

“I ... think... I met my love today...” Wolf whispered.

“Oh, really? And where...?”

“In the village, you know...”

“Wait... there were no other dogs than...”

“There weren`t......”

“I see... you fell in love with your enemy...”

“But Wilhelm, she is so... beautiful...charming...”

“You see... we can`t talk right now about it... wait to the camp. That scoundrel could hear us....” He was speaking about Reinhardt.

------------------

“And then he told me that he won`t hurt me...”

“Liar... they cannot be trusted....”

“But you didn`t seen his eyes...”

“He is an enemy... I usually don`t look into the eyes of someone who wants to kill me.”

“Easy, Jon. And Renna, forget him. Being familiar with an enemy is called treason, here. And people are usually shot for it.”

“Mut, but....”

“Look, Renna, no! Even if you were ... uhhh... somebody really famous and important, I would say the same thing. Forget him! Now and forever!”

 

Napper decided to stay in the village for the rest of the day and night. He wanted to make sure enemies won`t come back, but he strongly doubt it. So his team secured perimeter and after that they had something to eat. Dogs got some canned food, and although it was disgusting, they ate it gratefully. Mut said they should have eaten every meal like it was their last. But Renna didn`t touch her ration even a little bit. “Something wrong with it?” Mut wondered.

“No, no... Take it, if you want to... I am not hungry at all.”

“You must eat...”

She didn`t say a word.

“Oh, it`s about him, isn`t it?”

“Mut, I can`t erase it from my memory like – it seems – you can.”

“I wish I could do such... look, it will be better tomorrow.” he smiled.

-----------------

“What?! What do you want to do?”

“To see her once more, it`s bad?” Wolfgang gazed on Wilhelm.

“Be sure it`s bad! And dangerous, too!” Wilhelm was obviously more worried it was dangerous than he was worried about it`s bad. “To sneak behind enemy lines to see one girl you mustn`t be with?”

“Yes... it`s all I want to!”

“You won`t go anywhere alone!”

“But Wilhe- ....”

“I will go with you.” Wilhelm grinned. And he continued, while Wolfgang was shocked. “We can say it`s recon. It will be less suspicious than if you would go alone. I will cover your back.”

“Wha-“

“Wait until the dusk.... they stayed in village, I bet.”

-----------------

Night came. Renna was watching countryside. If she had been at home, she would have seen aurora borealis and heard wolf`s howling. But here, sky was illuminated by distant explosions and instead of wolves machines howled here. She left her companions sleeping. Danny was on guard, but she got rid of him. And now she was walking aroung village.

“Renna, it`s you?”

That wasn`t Danny, Jon or Mut. But...

“Wolfgang?” she amazed.

“Yes? I said I will find you, so...”

“Go away! Now! I will not speak with you!”

“Why... you can`t or you don`t want to?”

“Wolf, go away, please! Don`t make it harder for me.”

“Renna,“ but he stopped when he heard distant voices.

“You mean you let her go... alone!”

“B-b-but sergeant, I...”

“Danny, shut up! It`s war! She can be death now, just because of you!”

Danny sobbed. He wasn`t a good type for a soldier.

Renna panicked: “Wolf... it`s my sergeant! Run away! You already met him before!”

He didn`t wait for a second, but he blurted out: “I am maybe mad, but I want you to know, that-”

And he kissed her!

“Renna, where... ahhh, here you are! What are you doing here?!” Mut cried, when he saw her.

“I just took a brief walk, Mut!”

Ohmygoddidhekissmerightnow?

“Oh.... HOW MANY TIMES I WILL HAVE TO TELL YOU AGAIN? WE ARE IN A WAR!”

“But I am okay...,” she lied.

Yeshekissedmeandthiscanmeanjustonething!?

“Home, now! Tomorrow, you will have to explain. And you too, Danny!” Mut ordered.

-----------------

Wolf and Wilhelm ran away. “What... what it was supposed to mean?” Wilhelm wasn`t as angry as Mut, but still it was something shocking for him...

But Wolfgang laughed hapilly: “You see? She is beautiful, nice, friendly...”

“Yes... and she is enemy, too. Do you understand what did you do? You are just young fool in love!”

“Most beautiful thing on the earth, Wilhelm...”

“Herr Leutnant!”

Reinhardt was very happy he caught them doing something he was sure was against directives. He grinned evilly and slyly. He got them now. He was sure Wilhelm didn`t deserve his rank. He thought he, Reinhardt, would have been better leader, too. Wilhelm was just too soft and that wasn`t a quality of a good leader, according to Reinhardt.

“It`s you, Herr Feldwebel? Good. We are back from recon mission. Enemies stayed in village they took this afternoon. I am glad you went meet us and make sure we are safe.”

Reinhardt had to admit this. Althought soft and gentle, Wilhelm was clever and he could turn every situation into the way he wanted to. But diplomatic skill was nothing Reinhardt admired.

“Yes, Herr Leutnant. I`m glad you are safe.” Of course he wasn’t.

------------------

“Mut, I was just...”

“I promised I would take care of you. And I am not a liar. What would I say to yer parents, if something happened to you?!” Mut couldn`t be angry at her, he at least pretended to be so.

“Nothing... “

“You have no mum and dad, then?”

“Of course I have, but....”

“So don`t want me to say them their beloved daughter is no longer alive just because of her folly.”

“And what about your parents?”

“They are both dead... but this makes things just easier. No one will have to to tell them. Ha!”

Then he laughed and said: “Renna, to bed, Danny, continue... Jon will replace you in a hour...”

Renna obeyed Mut’s order. She curled down, but she could fall asleep. She had to think about handsome enemy who loved her so much he risked his life to see her. And he was soft and gentle, too…

I wish to see him again…it is possible I like him?

“We will take the village back. Just
