How you found 'Souls: My sister told me about it

The night was a quiet one. The stars filled the sky like millions of diamonds studded on a velvet cape. On the ground small creatures skittered from here to there and crickets played their songs. Suddenly, through the trees burst a dark, young wolf. All the small, scavenging creatures fled from the clearing and into the trees. At first the crescent moon cast strange lighting on the wolf's face, giving it a frightening appearance. It did not help that the wolf would not stay still and was running frantically around in no particular direction.

The wolf may have looked scary but if looked at closer she was not so intimidating. She had a dark, rusty brown coat although white on the belly and parts of the face. Her eyes, open wide, were such a dark brown that they looked almost coal coloured - it was hard to distinguish the pupil from the iris. Her fur was matted and thick with dirt. The ribs in her chest and the bones on her back were clearly visible. On her back was a strange, round creature. It was a hedgehog. The hedgehog contrasted greatly against the wolf's fur. It had white spines which were currently laid back as it clung on for dear life.

The wolf's name was Enya; the hedgehog's, Hesper. Enya's flailing gait continued on into the distance. Eventually the strong scent of other wolves reached her and she stumbled blindly towards them. She couldn't make it though and collapsed metres short of the nearest wolf. Enya lay there twitching feverishly. Her runt sized body was breathing shortly and quickly. Hesper had rolled off her back and lay in front of her. Blindly Enya moved her paw feeling on the ground for Hesper, eventually finding him she pulled his body close and curled around it. Her eyes opened and shut rapidly then eventually closed and didn't open again.

Under those closed eyes, she saw:

Her mother. Her mother had returned. The other wolf walked towards Enya. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave you..." her mother's voice was sweet - just like how Enya wanted to remember it. "Come back to me..." Enya felt herself stumbling forward at her mother's words. The wind caressed her face, suddenly making her aware of her surroundings. Enya eventually tore her eyes of the form of her mother and peered around. It was dark. She couldn't see anything. Nothing at all. Cautiously walking to the side, the ground underneath her paws began to crumble. "I told you to come here!" her mother's voice was angry now, all sweetness gone. No longer did she look beautiful and charming but instead was how Enya's true memories were - not the memories tainted with sweet desparation. Her mother's eyes were narrow and black, like her own, and scars mauled one side of her face. That was all Enya could see as she fell. Down... down... down.

hi! Welcome to 'Souls, & Crimson Dreams. I'm Alli ^^ Mati has a hedgehog NPC as well, there so CUTE! He hangs out in her room tho xD

It was odd for the wolfess to be beyond the walls of the Manor at the late hours of the night. But her bed was big, empty and so where her thoughts. The pups had been growing, venturing out into the halls of the house and as the pack's Nanny she had been a bit busy. The work, as well as the things she had promised to create for a few friends had taken up her time. Her heart longed for a single soul, and Mati worried that they did not see each other enough. It was a small worry, but it still made the fey restless and yearn for the cool breeze of night, the glow of the moon, the glimmer of stars.

As a pup she was not one to seek the refuge and shadows of the evening hours, but her courage had grown since then and the Church female stalked the blackness with little care. Her home was a safe one, and though it seemed empty and lonely in the late hours she found it comforting still. Familiar as it always was in the light of day. The tall she-wolf stood in her two legged form, a pencil twisted in her mane to keep the long wavy locks out of her eyes and meandered towards the borders, wondering when sleep would begin to tug at her thoughts.

The rustle in the distance made her pause, and the wolfess became defensive instantly. She was not one to wait for introductions when an obvious threat arrived. The female had learned that those who wish to seek the best from everyone, who hope that the bad won't arrive are the ones that get hurt. The violet eyes female saw something come forth, and she held her ground, her lip twitching slightly. She had things to loose and people to protect in these lands and the female would not hesitate to defend them. As she let her nose work she found that the scent was clearly female, and such a thing immediately soothed a bit of her nerves.

The Major searched for the dark figure as it fell to the ground. She knew this was no attack. Her large form moved forward, thoughts instantly going to the healer that likely slept in her room in Haven Manor. Mati crouched by the wolf, her hands moving gingerly to her face. Her heart beat furiously in her chest, and the Dreamer touched her cheek lightly. Her chest still moved, Are you okay? She questioned thought it was obvious that she wasn't. Purple eyes looked at the rest of her, noticing that she was frail and emaciated.

I love hedgehogs to! It's sad but they're illegal here, in Australia =(

The visions of her horrific mother slowly faded into pure blackness as Enya returned to the world. In a futile attempt to open her eyes, she found her eyelids heavy and her mind sluggish. A voice echoed in her head 'Are you okay?'. If she could have, Enya would have laughed. Of course she wasn't okay. Uncurling one paw from around Hesper's, prickly body she managed to extend one claw and write in the dirt 'No'. Then, protectively she recovered Hesper with her hand. She wasn't going to let anyone hurt him.

She didn't know what sort of wolves had found her, she wasn't sure if she wanted to know... but it had been so long since she had interacted with another one, so long since she'd even seen another wolf. Her body was still racked with chills but she put all her effort into opening her coal, black eyes. Succeeding only when she was about to give up. What she saw was bliss. A real wolf. Someone with wide, violet eyes. The eyes weren't harsh, but friendly and concerned. Enya opened her mouth to try to speak but all that came out was the rasping sound that it had always been.

Feebly, Enya attempted to stand but immediately fell straight back down to the ground. Attempting to yelp, again she rasped instead. She hadn't been able to howl or speak for months and still she tried. It had never been such a disability to be unable to speak, but then again this was the first wolf she'd tried to communicate with since her voice was lost. Frustrated Enya stretched out her paw again to write something more in the dirt, but she was too exhausted and fell back. All she was capable of doing was staring into the violet eyes.

The eyes indicated she was safe, but she didn't feel safe. Enya felt worried. Here she was, helpless, in a strange place with strangers who she didn't know whether they intended to harm her or to accept her. Heart beating fast, her thoughts raced. She broke eye contact with the violet-eyed wolf and immediately felt herself beginning to calm down. Looking into other animal's eyes made her scared. Emotion in other's eyes made her feel like she was intruding and if she could see them then they could see through her eyes. They could see her past, her present and her future. The thoughts overwhelmed her and maintaining eye contact for too long scared her. Instead she kept her eyes low, so no one would see the raw emotion in them. [/html]
