Rand limped slightly as they approached a large waterfall. " is this where the cave is?" he asked Auriga, since he had never been there before. He looked around and thought that he saw something move in the bushes. He looked closer to find that it was a small deer grazing in the tall weeds. He knew he couldn't get it while injured, so he barked to scare it away, so he wouldn't be tempted to eat it. Sure enough, the deer sprang away at the sound of the bark, lightly touching the ground as it glided on the air. Rand soon found a small pool near the river and lay down in it as he cooled off. Cassia saw what Rand was doing, and since she was tired, decided to lay on the damp night grass.

"It's here all right." Auriga said always finding peace by the waterfall. She looked up at it. She hadn't been her since her childhood and now that she was here her head filled up with memories. Auriga didn't realized how tired she was until she sat down. She went to sleep the instant she put her head down and fell into a dream. She was a young pup again and her family was by the waterfall playing together. She also saw friends from her dads pack too and they looked all so happy. Her two brothers splashed some water on her and she laughed. She played with them and soon got tired. She fell asleep and woke up to find everyone gone. "Mom." she cried looking everywhere. She found her parents walking away from her and she couldn't go after them. Her feet wouldn't move and all she could do was watch. Auriga woke and found herself drenched in sweat. She got up and got a drink from the waterfall. She looked around and only saw Rand and Cassia. She laid down and after a while fell back to sleep.

Rand woke up to the sound of birds chirping as they searched for food. He looked around and saw his friends, sleeping in the dewey grass. He slowly got out of the water, his muscles still hurt, and his mind told him to lay down, but he continued, and went over to Cassia, and blew on her ear. He looked up at the waterfall and noticed something, he had been here before. He walked near the waterfall, but kept to the shore as he remembered something. He stepped slowly behind the waterfall, seeing only mist as he headed for the cave. The sun shone behind the waterfall, leaving rainbows of light to dash through the sky.

Auriga woke up and saw Rand going behind the waterfall. She followed him and went into the cave. She saw him looking at the rainbows "Isn't it great?" she asked thinking of how she use to play with her brothers in the cave. She smiled at this thought and walked over to Rand.

" Yeah. It's really cool, and it's hidden so we'll be protected from other wolves." he said, slowly looking around. Cassia saw her chance and pounced on Rand, causing them both to fall through the waterfall and into the river below. Cassia laughed as she exited the river, only to be jumped on and forced underwater by Rand, who ran out of the river to push Auriga in. He got to her and said, "Come on, we can still play around, not much better to do." as he jumped back into the river, urging her to follow.

Auriga laughed and jumped in the water. She pushed Cassia down and then Rand down in less then three seconds. She backed away and when they got back up she said "Your it Cassia." She ran towards the bank so she could move faster and watch as they both tried to get out of the water as fast as they could.

Cassia turned quickly and jumped on Rand, making him it. She laughed as she got out of the water and climbed the grassy hill that led to the top of the cave. She then lay down to have a good look at where everyone was. Rand lost Cassia and decide to look for Auriga. He soon found her and snuck up behind him and whispered, " You're it." as he ran away smiling.

Auriga jumped as Rand tagged her. She thought he went after Cassia but apparently she was wrong. She climbed to the top of the cavr where she usually could see where everyone was and found Cassia looking down. She walked up next to Cassia and bumped into her "Do you know where Rand is at? He almost got me down and I lost him when I was running away." she said acting as if Rand where still it.

Cassia had seen Rand tag Auriga, and ran off, but tripped as she ran down the hill, causing her to tumble down the rest of the way. She tried to get up, but she had twisted her ankle and just laid down and whimpered. " Auriga, Rand, help!" she whimpered loudly. Rand saw that she wasn't joking and came out of his hiding place. He ran over to Cassia and asked, " What happened, Auriga?" as he looked up onto the hill. Cassia tried to answer, but she slowly passed out.

Auriga ran down the hill "I was acting as if you were still it but I guess she saw you tag me. She ran down the hill and tripped. Auriga got down to looked at Cassia's ankle "Your going to have to stay off it for awhile. Rand can you help me bring her to the cave?" she asked getting up.

" Definantly." he said, as he helped Cassia onto his shoulder. He licked her paw and looked into her eyes, and saw that she was asleep. He motioned for Auriga to help lift her up.
( Short, but what else could I say?)

Auriga lifted up Cassia and they slowly walked to the cave. They put her down and Auriga made it so when Cassia woke up she would accidentally hurt her foot even more. Auriga saw Rands worried expression "Don't worry it will heal in a couple of days." she said trying to cheer him up. She pushed him playfully and then added "That's happened to me over three times when I was a kid. I would always trip on that hill." she said smiling.

"We should go get some food, since we haven't eaten in two days, but, I'll stay here till you get back so I can watch her." Rand said, as he sadly looked at Cassia. He then lay down next to her and put his head on her neck. " We should probobly bring her some food too." he said, slowly, his green eyes dull.

Auriga nodded and went out the cave. "I'll be back soon." she said before she ran off. She ran for a little while downstream to a place where a pack of dear use to get drinks at. To her luck one was there drinking from the stream. She crept up on it, when she got close enough, she plunged, and bit into it's hind leg. It fell and Auriga slashed it's throat killing it instantly. She started to carry it back to the cave and realized she was starving for some food. It was sunset when she got back to the cave and she was tired. She dropped the meat in front of Cassia and Rand. She sat down, ate a little, and then went to sleep/

The smell of meat woke Cassia up immediately. She noticed that Rand was on her neck, so she shoved him off. She tried to go to the meat, but felt a stabbing pain in her front leg. She then remembered the fall, and then tried to crawl towards the meat, but it was worse, and caused her to whine loudly. Rand heard the whining, and immediately woke up. He saw the meat, and saw that Cassia was trying desperately to get to it. He got up, and pulled the meat towards Cassia, then started to eat. Once he was full, he fell asleep again. Cassia ate the meat, then tried her best to crawl near Rand for warmth.

Auriga woke up and yawned. She was tired from the day before still but she ignored it. She went over to Rand and Cassia "Wake up." she said and then nudged both of them. They moved alittle but didn't get up. Auriga was getting unpatient now and went over to Rands ear and yelled "Wake up!".

The loud sound of Auriga's voice made Rand and Cassia jump up immediately, fully awake. Cassia let out a howl of agony as she hit the floor again, unable to stand up. Rand licked her leg many times as he glared slightly at Auriga. "So, what's the big emergency?" he asked, still glaring, sarcasm in his words. He got up again from the ground and went outside. " So..where is our so called pack leader? And how can she help find members if she's not here eh?" Rand said loudly, almost screaming. He wanted so badly to help Cassia, he liked her alot, and he hated to see her in pain. He walked to the hill on top of the cave, and once on top, let out a howl. The song welcomed all haters of the rebels, and loners who wished to find a good pack, safely in the arms of the Alliance. Cassia heard the howl and joined it, remaining on the floor. She looked at Auriga, hoping she would help them.

Auriga joined them in the howl and didn't stop 10 minutes passed. She went down the hill and got a drink. She went to Cassia "I'm going to go hunting. I'll return by sunset, ok?" she said looking at her. She went out of the cave again and started running. She ran a while and then sniffed the air. "Deer." she said aloud and went were she smelt them. A bunch of them were by the stream resting or drinking. She crouched and started moving in. A crow screeched and one of the deer looked up. Auriga got up and ran to the nearest one that was laying down. They all started running and Auriga leaped at the slowest. She bit into it's hind leg and felt it tumble. It rolled over her knocking the breath out of her and fell. Auriga quickly went over and slit it's throat. She ate a little and took the meat. She then headed back to the cave to show the others. She looked at the sun and was surprise to see that she had a lot of time left. A few minutes later and she was in front of the cave with the meat.

( Now, it's time for your other wolfie.) Cassia looked over at the meat and whimpered. Rand had left her about and hour ago to get some food for her, so she was glad to see Auriga. " I see you had a successful hunt." Cassia said, without pain in her voice. " I'm feeling a little better, so I'm gonna go and get something to drink before I shrivel up..and take a bath." The white wolf left the cave , and slowly hobbled down to the stream where she layed in the water for about twenty minutes, watching the sun set.

Xelain walked slowly to the stream and got a drink. He sighed at how slow and tired he was. He didn't have a pack and he didn't have anywhere to go. He walked down the stream and came across a wolf laying down. "Good day." he said walking by her. He stopped and happen to see the wolfs paw. "Are you, ok? You shouldn't be out alone with a paw like that." he said sitting in front of her about 3 feet away.

Cassia looked at the approaching wolf and started to growl. She knew that she wasn't in a postition to fight, but she had to protect herself. Once she realized that this wolf wasn't going to hurt her, the growl stopped. " I'm not alone, you know. But thank you for caring, most would just kill me, then leave." she said calmly. " I'm just cooling off, and waiting for Rand to come back." Cassia looked over to where he had left, her light blue eyes sparkling.

"I see. Oh and I'm sorry. I forgot to introduse myself. I'm Xelain." he said to the young wolf. He laid down next to her "What is your name young one?" he said starting to feel really old with this younger wolf.

"I'm Cassia." she said, smiling. And I am from the Lunaris pack, where are you from?" she said, letting her necklace bob in the water. She looked over to see a wolf apperaring out of the sun. " Rand!" she shouted, not daring to get up again. Rand was puzzled by Cassia, partly because she was out of the cave, and partly because she was with another wolf. " Hi, Cassia, I brought you some food." he said, licking her ears. He then layed down behind her in the water, and looked up at the older wolf.

"So your Rand?" Xelain said looking at the wolf "I am Xelain and I'm from far away." he said adding this last part for Cassia. He looked at Cassia again "You really should stay in one spot for another day." he said acting like a father without realizing it.

" I know, I just needed a drink." Cassia smiled. Rand got up and went to get the other rabbit he had killed for Auriga. He trotted back to the cave, Cassia not to far behind. " Come on, we're gonna go see Auriga." she said to Xelain, through winces of pain. The two wolves walked behind the waterfall, through the rainbows, and into the cave.

Xelain looked in wonder at the waterfall and went into the cave. He saw a young female wolf laying down. She looked up and got to her feet quickly. She looked at him "Who are you?" she asked with a slight growl in her voice. "I am Xelain." he said to her "You must be Auriga." his voice soft. She loked at him and did a bow to show respect. So this wolf knows the old respect rules..She must have been born in an old pack he thought curiously "What pack were you born in? he asked her. "I am from the Aquilias pack." she said Keeping her tail low. He nodded "That makes sense by the way you show respect." he said to her. "Yes, sir." she said and looked at his eyes "We would be honored if you could stay with us for as long as you can." Xelain looked at her in surprise and then laughed "My dear I have nowhere to go. All I do now is wonder and hunt." he said smiling. Auriga looked at him her head full of thoughts "Would you like to join our pack then?" she blurted out and then blushed. For some reason he made her feel like a pup. Xelain looked at the other wolves "If it's okay with them.". Auriga looked at her friend hoping they would say yes.

" Of course it's okay with us, why wouldn't we want another member in our pack?" Rand asked, his head tilted. " Yeah, what he said." Cassia said, laying on the ground, still eating. Rand yawned and looked at the new wolf, then at Cassia who had finished eating, and started to clean her paws. Rand joined her on the ground. " How are you feeling?" Cassia smiled, " Better, thank you."

Xelain nodded "Thank you." he said looking at the cave and then back to Auriga. "So are you the leader of this pack?" he asked her. She shook her head "Our leader is uh out for awhile." she said unsure what to say. He looked at her curiously "A daughter of a famous pack should have made her own pack by now?" he said looking at her. She put her head down "I made a pack but it was wiped out by rebels." she said sadly. Xelain lifted her head up wit his head "I'm sorry for bringing up a bad memory. I am happy to see you do not dwell on the past." he said looking at her gently. She nodded and then went out for water. Xelain turned his attention to he two other wolves "How did you get a injury like that?" he asked her.

Cassia blushed," I know it sounds wimpy, but I was playing tag. It feels alot better though." She winced from the pain as she put her leg down causing Rand to walk over to her and give her leg a good cleaning. "i"m from a well known pack too, well, we all were." He said looking at Cassia. " And we were all going to be alpha, or already were..." He looked down as he remembered running through the fields of purple flowers as he played hide and seek with his friends. He heard his mother calling from the distance and ran for her, only to be swallowed by a black hole in the ground when he got there. Rand shook his grey head to get his thoughts back. " I hope the rebels haven't done anything major lately. But if they have.." He growled.

Xelain had to laugh at this and laughed more after seeing the looks on there face "I'm sorry but that's just plain out funny." he said still laughing. "So how did you find this cave? It's a realy good spot and I don't think anyone would look here. It's also beautiful." he said looking around at the reflections on the walls. He looked back at them and waited for a anwser.
