Welcome to Gaia! ::

Red stood slowly wounds getting the best of her. She looked herself once over, she could not see well out of one eye, her left leg badly clawed up and her arms scratched again and again. She looked at her mysterious nuisance, this man just saved her. After leaving the way he did. She cursed as she slowly walked away from the wolves slowly dying and dead in on the hillside. She faced him slowly. "Hey, are you okay, if you want dawn will come soon, you could not get very far bleeding like that in tattered clothing.... I gathered some food last night, I can make a stew... If you want to accompany me back to the farmhouse..."

She did not wait for his answer this time, she slowly turned and slowly ambled over to her long sword still stuck in a wolf, pulling it out slowly trying not to hurt her arm much more.... Then over to the last one she fought with and gripped the dagger handle, attempting to get a hold of it, as well. Once she was able to get it, she re-positioned her weaponry and the holders, to ease off her wounded left leg.

She turned to look at him one last time, still not hearing an answer she shrugged it off, maybe he did want to be alone.... 'Why instead of joining the pack and hunting and haunting the villagers like the other wolves do would her run? Why is the pack after him? Why would he continue to run???'

Many questions, that might go un-answered. Red hobbled slowly down the hill, feeling as though she looked as pitiful as she felt. She hurt everywhere, never once before has that happened to her. This was going to at least put her a back a week or maybe more if it takes long to heal. She needed to get back to the farmhouse, to her potions and herbs to begin the healing process. She bent slowly to pick up the basket full of fresh berries and herbs, including a canteen of water.

OOC It is quite alright I was actually busy all day today as well which is why I reposted my reply would it be easier to pm you first if you have not replied after a while



Red Welcomed the support, leaning on him slightly considering standing hurt her at the moment. As they made the way slowly back to the farmhouse Red began to hum, she always retreated to the lullaby her mother used to sing to her, when in pain.

She wanted to go lie down so very badly. Once at the farmhouse she steadied herself against the wall pushing off of her companion determined to make it to the kitchen area to mix up the stew on her own."Give me a few minutes..." she stammered, "I want to at least mix this up before I go lie down." She cut up the veggies and mashed the berries slowly, and ground up the herbs well; she was able to pour all the food into a pot and add the ale, before she began to loose her balance.

Almost all at once, everything froze as she tried to catch herself once more. she leaned hard unto the counter top. She looked over at the man that helped her back still unsure his name. "Okay, I will not be able to carry this to the fireplace but, it is done.I, also might need help getting to my bag near the fire on those feather down chairs..." She hated to ask for help but, could not got any longer without a potion or her medicine. There was only so much her body could handle at the moment.

Red went through her bag pulling potions and teas out trying to figure which combination, would work best for her wounds as she listened to Seras, tell her his story. She began to m=take her medicine in the form of a shot then some pills she made to take away the pain, she rank a tea to burn out the infections, and rubbed a lotion on her leg and arms to heal them almost overnight, or at least most of the external wounds and damage.

"Searas, would you want to join a pack if given the chance? I just do not understand you do not appear like most wolves cross that you were set out and made this way. Every wolf I have ever encountered, has appeared to have made it their personal mission to hurt humans because they were not forced to roam in the woods... And yet, it seems you are just trying to make sure you survive, you are not worried about attacking humans or terrorizing villages for the fun of it?" She asked earnestly, awaiting his reply. She had so many other questions, but feared he would not answer them for her. Feared that he would look down upon her if he figured it out..

She looked at him hard trying to figure out why he would be helping out a hunter like herself, unless he could feel it, the wolf spirit tugging at her from the shadows, he was an Alpha after all, he had made that very clear. She took a look at the necklace of fangs he had collected, killing six Alphas was something she could only wish to accomplish, she was up to forty werewolves and only two Aplhas killed by her own hands.

Red looked down at her leg the potions and medicines were working although she could no longer feel it she could see the wound slowly beginning to close up, of course she would need a splint for a few days at least and to keep it raised while the fractured bone healed, but for now it seemed to be getting slowly better.

Going through her bag while she looked over at Seras she pulled out a few clean rags and a bottle clearly labeled as aloe vera a plant with healing powers, she tossed them over to him. Along with an extra blanket she found. She took note that he almost purposefully placed himself in the opposite side of the room from her which she was fine with, she did not enjoy closeness, not since the accident that made her want to hunt.

Red looked down and could not meet his eyes any longer. Tears welled up she needed t tell her story sometime, holding it all in was doing no good for anyone, she closed her eyes before she could begin.

"It was my parents," She started choking up as soon as she said it out loud. "Ten years ago, they were putting me to bed when they heard it, the howls. Our house had been targeted, the wolves were getting closer and closer to the village killing animals and then soon humans. My mother sat with me blocking me from the rest of the room, my father took off with his shotgun and his case of silver bullets. He wanted to scare them off keep them away so in the morning we can move into the town center. Once the door was opened though, they came rushing in three wolves... The rest is bloody almost to hard to retell. I remember leaving that house the next morning my fathers old dagger and box of silver bullets and his smallest gun a bite to my arm and no where else was even scratched. And I have been walking ever since... A few years ago I began hunting trying to find those wolves that killed my parents and especially the one that bit me............ To ask why it decided to leave me cursed as I take him out, and watch him slowly die under my claws of my fingers whichever I end up fighting with..."

She opened her eyes and looked at him, "That is why I hunt, I want more then revenge, I want to find out the reason they would curse a small child to forever live in the shadows of society, why they just left me there.."

She stood up slowly and walked over past Seras, to stir the stew as it boiled hoping her tears would dry up in the heat of the fire.

She closed her eyes for a leaning against the wall opposite of Seras... And thought deeply trying to bring up the reflections of the night. At last she replied choking the words out...."Red and gold is why I took the name as a hunter a clear Alpha and Beta kind of hunt, but I have yet to find a wolf those colors it is why I search bounties of wolves attacking villages.. Because that is what he did, he terrorized and attacked out home."

She opened her eyes and looked long and hard at him wondering if he knew of any wolves like that..... "There are a few small towns that have never heard of our kind. I plan on retiring as soon as I kill the wolf that cursed me and live in a town like that I found not very very far from here. If you know anything I would appreciate a little help and in turn I can take you to the town and vouch for you to help get you started on a new life where people won't fear you or whatever you are running from.."

Red walked slowly over to get two bowls, as she walked back she replied to Seras.."How long my career is does not matter to me I have learned quite a bit in being ten years alone, on how to handle my wolf side, and how to be come a successful hunter. I just want to find the red wolf with gold flecks and get my answers and be done with this life on the run."

She looked directly into his eye for a moment before continuing, "I know what I am, and what I can do, and it does not scare me..... I rather be a hard working human relying on medicine then a crazy wolf any day but, I do not hide from it." She spooned some stew into either bowl and handed one over to him. She practically hobbled back to the chair and sat before sprinkling some healing herbs into the stew and she began to drink it.

"Goodnight, Seras" Red said as she too put down her bowl and snuggled into the chair tossing a blanket over herself. But Red could not completely relax she kept flitting in and out of sleep trying to control the wolf in her. She ended up on the floor near Seras's feet before she could doze off for more then a few minutes. She ended up whining and growling in her sleep as she tried not to wake Seras.
