"Yeah we can try to do that." Craig had to smile at that. He was starting to get more closer to Bandhura then he ever thought before. "Well let's go." He followed the tracks to a deer. He looked at Bandhura. "That should be easy prey right?"
Bandhura nodded as she followed close behind Craig, she stooped low once she got into the bushes. She looked to Craig, "Down..hurry.." she whispered motioning with her paw. She lifted her nose to the air and inhaled deeply,scenting the deer nearby.

Craig looked at Bandhura. "Well let's make our move." Craig then jumped out and grasped on the deer's body.
Bandhura watched Craig spring from the bushes and she shook her snout, "So impatient.." she sighed and quickly leapt out after him. She stepped lightly and quickly leapt out onto the deers back sinking her fangs into its neck. She locked her jaws twisting them slightly as she slid off the deer's back. She and both Craig rolled to the ground along with the deer and the deer lay not to far away twitching and still slightly kicking. "Ughh...Craig..go finish it.." she grumbled slowly standing.

"Okay." Craig got up and went over to the deer. He bit the deer's neck and held on until it moved no more. He went ahead and looked at Bandhura. He held out his paw making a gesture for her to go ahead and eat her fill. "After you." He then waited for her to finish.
Bandhura's honey colored eyes looked at Craig and she nodded as she stepped past him, "Thank you.." she said softly stepping towards the deer. She sunk her fangs deep into the tummy consuming the fresh meat quickly, hunger over taking her for a moment. When she finished and left a large amount for Craig she stepped back. Her pink tongue lapped up the access blood around her snout and she reclined back to relax.

Craig nodded and went to the deer. Craig then ate and got his fill of food. "Uh so what do you think about me personally? I mean uh do you feel anything?" Craig gave out a nervous laughter. He then layed down beside her. "I mean are we friends?"
Bandhura looked at Craig and laid to her belly beside him, "Ahh..Well of course were friends." she said smiling warmly. She licked his cheek and stood to her paws, "Me and you will always be close." she added. She looked towards a tall mountain and motioned with her snout to Craig. "We need to go up there...shall we?" she said softly stepping forward. She glanced back over her shoulder at Craig, her honey colored eyes watching him.

Craig smiled and laughed when she licked him. "Close huh? Yes we shall." He then headed off that way along with her. He then remembered about his father. His father could appear at any moment. He kept alert as they continued the journey.
Bandhura stepped with Craig and her grey fur was warmed by the sunlight, she watched the forest come alive as they passed through it. The rain and storm last night only seeming to be a small stepping stone for Bandhura and Craig, they apparoached a rushing river. It was wide but at the deeper end a large old log seemed to cross it, she pointed with her snout. "It doesn't look sturdy.." she said lifting her paws atop it shaking it slightly.

Craig got on the log anyway. He went across and made it. "Come on it is fine. You can do it. You are not scared are you?" Craig joked.
Bandhura watched Craig run over the log and she gulped slightly, she leapt up to it. She felt the log get shaky under her as she stepped across it, "Craig..." she muttered and felt herself get wobbly. Bandhura started to panick and her nails dug into the hollow log.

"Hold on!" Craig walked across getting wobbly. He got to Bandhura and tried to pick her up. "Just slide across ok?" He nudged Bandhura trying to get her to slide across. Suddenly the log began to wobble and move again. "Hold on Bandhura!"
Bandhura felt the log cave under her weight as Craig stepped upon the log, "Go back!" she cried. She watched him step back and she leapt forward and felt the log give way. She reached the bank and felt the lower half of her body get wet and she got pulled down, she panicked and pulled her body up. She laid on the dirt breathing heavily, her eyes closed tightly.

Craig got Bandhura across. He nuzzled her to make her feel okay. "It is okay it is all over with. Come on we got a long journey ahead of us." Craig continued on. It was then he spotted a grizzly bear right in their path. "Bandhura what do we do?" He was worried at this sight.
"Well..hold on.." she said softly and was nuzzled by Craig. Her honey colored eyes gazed up at Craig and she wondered curiously. A smile crossed her snout and she stood to her paw stepping forward lightly, she saw the grizzy. "We can take the back way over the small rock ledge.." she said pointing with her snout. She dipped around the side of the grizzly and quickly ran to the ledge.

Craig followed Bandhura. Unfortunately however he got a little close to the grizzly bear and it him with its paw and he fell down on the ground. It came close to him ready to strike. He loooked away ready for the end. I am going to die now...he thought.
-An arrow shot across the ravine and sunk itself into the bears left shoulder-
You're not getting out THAT easy!!.. slurred George, stricken by madness and malnutrition.
He primed another arrow in his bow, aiming it at Craig
Bandhura glanced back and noticed the arrow hit the grizzly, "What the.." she whispered as she looked for the hunter. She dipped her body low by the rocks and looked at Craig, "Craig, run!" she yelled to him. She looked at the Grizzy and Craig and she knew the hunter was out there somewhere, she let out a heavy side and leapt past the Grizzly towards Craig.

Craig looked at the grizzly but then saw an arrow go into it. Dad...he thought to himself. He looked out ready for anything to happen. He knew his dad wanted to kill him. He then saw Bandhura running towards him. "No Bandhura! Run because you will get hurt!"
Bandhura skidded to a halt infront of Craig and her honey colored eyes glanced towards the forest, "I wont leave you.." she responded panting heavily. She nudged Craig forward with her snout, "What should we do..?"
*George scanned the mist for any signs of two grey wolves, his bow in his hand ready to fire*
I know you're out there!! he shouted across the ravine..

Craig looked at Bandhura crazily. "What should we do?! What else? Run!" Craig tried to run in the opposite direction of the arrow. "Come on hurry! Maybe we can lose him."
Bandhura's ears flattened back to her skull as she heard George's voice through the smoke and she dipped low to the dirt. She spied Craig running off and she slowly made her way behind him. She followed close to his tail her honey colored eyes glancing back over her shoulder, "Craig..hurry.." she growled softly to keep him moving.

"I am hurrying!" Craig tried to go as fast as he could through the forest. He hoped his dad would not find him. He ran so hard his legs hurt again. He tried to run but tripped again. "Oof. Oh great." Craig kept running not wanting to be killed. His breathing was the fastest he ever heard in his life.
Bandhura ran close behind Craig and when he tripped she tried to leap over him, "Ahh.." she yelled as her back paws got caught on him. She rolled in front on him and she gazed up at the mountain, "Craig.." she muttered softly swiping her face with her paw.

"We have to hurry. If he is following us and I know he is he will never give up until I am dead." Craig started climbing up the mountain. It was very steep and he almost tripped. "Whoah. Watch your step okay?" He found a path that looked pretty sturdy and seemed to wind all the way up the mountain. "Let's follow that path over there."
Bandhura let out a snort and shook her pelt free of dirt and sticks before following beside Craig, "Don't worry..I'm fine." she said and stepped ahead of him. Her tail swished behind her as she stepped onto the dirt trail and stared up the mountain, "Well..lets go get you changed back.." she added stepping lightly.

"Sorry about that." Craig did not notice Bandhura covered in dirt and twigs. I have to worry about more than just me...he thought. "Yeah changed back. Yeah that's what I always wanted," Craig said sarcastically. Craig went ahead on the path. "You know you could just go I mean I can go on by myself and uh...you see you will not be in danger from my father. If he sees you he will know you travel with me and that will be danger for you."
Bandhura shook her snout back and forth as she stepped beside Craig, "Whos going to look after you? Plus, you don't know who your looking for?" she added smirking. She pushed a rock off the side of the mountain her honey colored eyes watched it disappear into the darkness, "I told you i'm not going anywhere and you need me."

"Who am I looking for? I mean what do you mean?" Craig gave a smile. "Oh I am the one that needs to be looked after eh?" Craig gave a worried look. "Promise me something? No matter what happens to me don't try to help me. What I mean is that my father will kill me. Promise me you will run away if that happens okay? He is the best hunter I know. I learned my tracking, hunting, and cruelty from him."
Bandhura looked at Craig and nodded, " You wont die..But..yes i promise." she said softly. She stepped behind him closely, "Yes, you do need to be looked after." she added.

"Hey it's okay." He walked more on the path. He looked toward the forest waiting for something to happen. He then looked back at Bandhura. "Um can I ask you something? I mean uh you thought of me as a friend right?"
Bandhura continued walking until Craig stopped and looked towards the forest, she looked towards it herself then back at him. "Yeah. Ask anything you want." she said softly and continued walking. Her honey colored eyes gazed at the sun and then the high mountain they were climbing.

"Um what did your mother say? Anything about me." Craig looked nervous. Obviously it was not anything good. I mean he killed her.
Bandhura continued to step along the rocky path and her honey colored eyes glanced at the ground, "Well..she said it was my duty to stay with you and help you change back.." she said softly glancing behind her. She paused for a moment and reclined back to her haunches and looked at Craig, "What is bothering you.." she asked curiously.

"You want to know what is bothering me? I am having wierd feelings being around you! That is what is bothering me!" In his anger Craig blurted out a lot of stuff he didn't mean to. "Uh what I mean to say is that uh..." He tried to cover what he said but he couldn't think of the words.
Bandhura's paw lifted to her face and she laughed slightly, "Ahh..well me..? Err.." she stumbled over her words. She stood back to her paws and sighed, her tail flickering behind her. "Well..can we wait till we get to the top of the mountain before you say anything else?" she said softly pushing him forward with her snout. Her honey colored eyes looked at him and then the top, what was he trying to imply she thought.

"Yep that sounds good." Craig was glad he could drop it. He kept going through the path not wanting to embarass himself again. He looked up at the mountain. We still have a long way to go...he thought. Better make it up there. And who knows when his dad will show up to kill him.
Bandhura caught up with Craig as they slowly made their way up the mountain. Every few minutes glancing over her shoulder and up at the top ledge warily. She stopped for a moment to catch her breath and she reclined back to her haunches, the sun was going down below the mountains. "Craig..wait..my paws hurt..and im tired and hungry." she said whining softly. Her honey colored eyes pleaded towards him to stop and rest.

"Alright let's find somewhere to rest." He found a place to rest by the river. "You can rest here I'll go get some food okay?" Craig went ahead and found a small rabbit. He raced up and caught it easily unlike his older, clumsier days. He laid it right in front of Bandhura. "Here ya go, something to eat."
George examined the ground closely
"A rabbit was killed here.. he mumbled to himself.
He continued along the trail..
Bandhura ripped a piece of meat off the dead rabbit and she chewed it slowly, after swallowing she looked to Craig. Nudgeing the rabbit with her snout towards him, "Hungry?" she offered smiling. She stepped away from him and dipped her snout into the water washing off the blood and lapping up a cool drink.

"No I am fine thank you. Let's just rest here for tonight okay? In the morning we will continue up the mountain." He saw Bandhura over there drinking water and he did the same thing since although he was not hungry, he was thirsty. He then laid down on a piece of ground and started to close his eyes.
Bandhura curled up beside Craig and closed her honey colored eyes, "Night. We leave at dawn.." she mumbled. She crossed her paws and rested her head down comfortably. Sleep rushed over her body and she was swept away into dreamland.

Craig had another horrible dream that night. He dreamed he was his human self again about to shoot Bandhura's mother. Then it changed suddenly where he was the wolf and his father took his place about to shoot him with an arrow. He then got shot with it and was bleeding profusely yelling, "Dad don't do this!" He woke up with a fright breathing heavily and shaking.
Bandhura woke up from Craig's stirring and her honey colored eyes looked at him. "Whats wrong? Did you have a bad dream." she said nuzzling the side of Craig's neck. She stopped realizing what she was doing, "Sorry, My mom use to do that to me when I got scared.." she mumbled.

Craig woke up with Bandhura nuzzling his neck and saying something about her mother. "No it's okay." He smiled but then realized what he was doing. "Um...I just had a different kind of bad dream. One where I was killed. All I can say is that I hope that is not my destiny. Your mother huh? Do you think she watches over you?"
Bandhura listened to Craig speak about his destiny and dying, she shook her snout. “Dreams aren’t always are destiny, sometimes it’s a warning from fate.” she said softly. She thought for a moment when he asked about her mother and sighed, “Of course my mother is watching over me, I can feel her when the wind blows and when the stars shine.” she added smiling. Bandhura looked to Craig, “You worry too much…you need to live a little.” she said laughing slightly.

"Live? You know what my living was before this? Learning to hunt animals such as you. I tracked them, killed them, and chopped up their bodies." Craig looked downward. "So you see maybe fun can be dangerous. There is one thing I have to say before I do not say it anymore. I...I...love...dhewyou." Craig looked away embarassed. "Sorry little cough there," he laughed nervously.
Bandhura froze at his words and she laughed uneasily, "uhh..uhh..Me?" she mumbled embarrassed. Red flushed through her furry cheeks and she looked at Craig. Letting out a sigh and smiled slightly, “Well..thats new some fun and dangerous..” she muttered. She stood to her paws seeing that no sleeping was going to be accomplished and looked over her shoulder at Craig, “Come on lover boy..lets keep moving.” she teased walking forward.

"Uh...did I say that out loud?" Craig looked really embarrassed now. "Um...just ignore everything I said. I uh...just ignore what I said. Yeah let's keep moving." Craig got up and looked forward not wanting to think about what he said. "I apologize for what I said." He looked back.
Bandhura nodded to Craig and let out a sigh, "Its okay, but lets focus at the task at hand." she muttered. She stepped past him and padded down the rocky trail. Her honey colored eyes flickered as they came upon the part of the rocky trail which was enclosed, "Through the tunnel of night.." she mumbled remembering.
She reclined back to her haunches and waited for Craig, "Well..we need to go in there.." she said pointing with her snout. Her honey colored eyes scanned over Craig and she couldnt figure out why this wolf loved her so, she waited patiently for his response.

Craig nodded. "Yeah you are right." Craig noticed Bandhura mumbling something and then saying that they had to go through that enclosed trail. "Are you sure we will be safe in there? Well okay I will trust your judgement." Craig went ahead forward through the trail. He noticed Bandhura looking at him. "Yes is there something you want?"
George sharpened his senses with a quick splash of ice-cold lake water across his face. He continued his search and followed the wolf tracks once more..

Craig looked over and decided to tell the story of what happened to make sure she knew he had his reasons for his actions. He needed to tell Bandhura his story before they went any further. "Uh...there was a reason...you see..." Craig sighed and went ahead. "I have seen through your eyes now you need to see mine. There was a reason why I hated wolves so much. You see my mother was killed by a wolf pack and that is what made me hate you. I now realize my fault on that."
Bandhura looked at Craig seeing some new insight to the person she hated. "I...uh see what you are saying." She looked down still taking in what he just said.
