A week had passed since I saw those dogs...I should have flied away, vanish, run away from them. Instead, here I am. On the border of their territory. The reason to this inexplicable situation? Simple: I am definitely, without doubt, a truly idiot. - sigh-
I'm torn. The reasonable part of me keeps on shouting to run but the other tells me to go and meet them...
The result? I can't vanish but neither be so idiot to stupidly go and invade their territory, just to say: Hey! Nice to meet you! I'm the weird guy who's been stalking you for days...
Yeah...I can see their reaction. Not fun. At all.
But if there's something I know is that I don't want to wander in the woods alone forever. Plus that creamy husky... She seemed so weak and bea- Sialuk! You won't ever change! Damn you, I mean, you messed up your life because of a female and there you go again! I'm helpless.
I walked closer to the edge. That was my favorite point of osbervation. Once there I looked down annoyed: No one was there. I should have been relieved but I was not. I felt disappointed. A normal and totally non-sense reaction of mine.
I shook the snow from the fur as if it could also serve to remove my bitter disappointment -in vain- and then I sat waiting for something. I had all the time I wanted. I wasn't so hungry afterall. When was the last time I ate? two, three days ago. All normal.
Minutes passed but only the incessant snowflakes kept on falling from the sky...Beside them nothing moved and whithout moving I was starting to freeze... Yet I stayed there. I know she would have come. I felt it. She did it before. She knew for sure I was there.
I closed my eyes calmy. Damn it! My body was starting to get tired again.
I sighed and opened my eyes and there she was: staring at me like I was a ghost. I slightly smirked but when she started to trot toward me I stopped immediately. She did that before too and I, as the previous times, certainly didn't want to disappoint the lady.
I turned back and followed the path I knew so well lately moving into more and more in the woods.
I was so sure that she wouldn't come after me that I didn't bother to run off like a crazy deer and, when I heard the sound of paws in the fresh snow behind me, I felt...betrayed? shocked? I don't know. My mind went blank. It all happened so quickly I even had not the time to realize it! Or maybe this darn cold had finally freezed my brain... I Just stopped, turned and stared at them. Yes, THEM. two dogs. Could I fight two dogs in my current condition? Afterall I should have known that sooner or later they would have come after me...
I started to study the situation with a cool head: I was bigger compared to both of them and probably older and stronger as they were two females. But could I fight against two females? Against her? Why did she follw me? Why did they send her? It was evident that she wasn't well... They had males bigger than me in their pack, I did see them, why, WHY didn't they send them!? Was it a trap? All in all I didn't want to hurt them...
I growled and stepped back. Let me go, let me go and I won't return. I promise I begged in my mind while staring at them. They too were staring at me. I could feel the tension in my muscles, my body was ready to run or attack...My mind not.
For a moment nothing happened but then...Then the brownish furred girl headed toward me.
And in a fraction of a second I, well my body, reacted. That was the law: The first to attack is the one who lives. I knew it. I learned it through the pain and years. I beared the marks.
I even didn't fully realized what I was doing when the creamy husky jumped between me and her pack mate.
I just stopped with my eyes wide open. And then I understood. Still they both didn't attack me...Wait...Did they want to attack me afterall?
I was starting to feel ashamed, she asked me if I could speak...I probably looked like one of those dumb crazy maniacs or something like that...

“Y-Yes. I can talk. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” I jabbed

She, however, kept on reassuring me that they weren't my enemies and offered to go back with them...
Now I was starting to think that she was even crazier than me...I mean... Who offers a meal and a place where to sleep to a completely stranger who, just to say it all, tried to attack your friend? If she was taking time for her packmates to come and rip his head off she was succeeding but... I couldn't understand that offer: too good to be true....Was it really happening? She was still talking, I couldn't understand everything but I heard "pack, meal...Kyoto"
She was totally out of her mind if she was serious.
I couldn't keep myself from laughing softly while thinking that if in a place where everyone was insane maybe I wasn't so weird afterall...

“What is your name?” she asked finally

“My name is Sialuk.” I replied calmy. I had to admit with myself she really meant what she said while I I looked at her straight in the eyes. She was one of the few I had met who looked back at me without hesitation.

“And I am really sorry for my unpleasant behaviour ladies. It's really a considerable offer as much as much as it is unexpected... But I can't deny that I could use a meal or two” I tried to smile and keep my tail down to reassure them...As the brownish girl still looked at me like I was completely mad...

"You're most welcome sir" said dryly the she husky " I'm Madison by the way and she is Lisha"
And said so she turned walkind slowly toward tha place where they had come.

"Well...Nice to meet you" whispered Sialuk to him-self

:::::::

After a nice walk spent in complete silence, Lisha, or at least that should have been her name, came closer to him. She didn't spoke to him yet and but he could feel her gaze on his back while walking. Madison, instead, was leading the group the the hide-out and seemed not to pay much attention to him.

"hey..." Said Lisha trying to smile but he could see that she was still a bit scared...

"Hey..." he replied smiling. He could observe her better now: She was without doubt young. And unexperienced in matter of survival. Nobody approaches a stranger so directly. That's a mistake that can easily be the last...
Apart this he liked her: she was the most friendly and cheerful dog he ever met and he met many, many dogs.

"I'm sorry if I scared you before...You got me unprepared..."

"Ah...Well, I guess it's my fault afterall. Are you ok by the way? Hurt somewhere? Feel strange?"

"What? I...I bet I'm ok...been worse before" He smiled confused

"If you say so..." She looked him in the eyes and he felt like a...Pup while she kept on staring at him with her green eyes. Never seen such colored eyes before.

"You know...You have the most beautiful eyes I've seen" He said without thinking. Tipical of him: if he had to say something, he would. No matter what...

She blinked and then smiled while raising her head and starting to trot toward Madison.

"We arrived" announced Madison who was watching them. He started to feel nervous now but kept on following her.

"Don't worry" she whispered at him as soon as he was near enough "Kyoto is a good leader and still didn't eat nobody"

He turned to watch her "Well...That is really reassuring"
