Hotaru
Sometimes the light that guides us along our paths, is not something that we can see, but something deep inside of us.




When the cream colored she-wolf took a few steps back, Fawkes quieted down. Other's were dangerous, he knew this. Fawkes had always adored Hotaru, and when she was attacked he felt like he had let her down. The hawk believed it was his fault that Hotaru got hurt because he did not warn his master of her brother and as a result she lost her eye sight. From then on, Fawkes had been careful and made sure that no one got too close to Hotaru without her knowing or her permission. The only exception was Light, he had saved Hotaru so he was okay. Plus Light had fed him. Fawkes turned his attention away from the strange wolf. He nipped gently at Hotaru's hand, his affectionate gesture rewarded with even more petting.



So many questions. Not only did Juliet not leave, but she asked many questions. Hotaru turned her head a little and kept her voice calm and polite. "Fawkes is a red tailed hawk. They are native to the area so if you look you might see one flying around. Although, they can be elusive birds." Hotaru decided to ignore Juliet's first question. The blind wolf was well aware of the reasons why Fawkes was so protective and she didn't want to have to explain such things to a complete stranger.



Hotaru didn't care if Juliet was pack, there was no use in trusting someone she didn't know. Even if she knew Juliet well, Hotaru wouldn't answer the question. Both her brother's betrayal, as well as Cain's had proven to the blind wolf that even those close to you could not be completely trusted. Hotaru always remained on guard, although her guard took the form of a calm and polite wolf who's ears were always up.



Unlike Hotaru, Juliet seemed quite comfortable with talking about herself and her true feelings. "Worry is a part of life, don't dwell on it." Hopefully her small bit of advice would make Juliet leave. The grey wolf wanted to return to her peace and quiet, to her thoughts and plans. Skye wanted to build a boat and Hotaru wanted to think about how such a task might be brought about.
