-Cheza noticed the female's troubled look. She eased down to look May in the eyes.- "Don't worry. You've got Drake to look after you. And I might not be in the exact spot you are, but I'll always be around. A simple howl will get me running. Trust me." -The she-wolf thought for a moment. She barely knew this wolf. Would May trust her? Trust a stranger? She sighed and laid her head on her paws.- "Just trust me."
-So now you're being polite. Drake thought. He didn't want to upset the female, so all he said was.- "Fine." -He stepped out of her way and jogged back to the cave. He saw Cheza, May, Dawn, and the pups were fine.- "She didn't want to come." -He sighed and sat down.- "Cheza. You seem to know your herbs. And we need a wolf who knows that stuff. Would you like to join us?"
-Cheza jerked her head up.- "Drake. May I speak to you alone please?" -She glanced at the two other females and dipped her head.- "Excuse us." -She walked out of earshot and sat down.- "Drake. I can't. I have a home. It's not far from here. But I can't stay. I don't think I should be brought into any troubles between you three...or four. Speaking of home. It's been a while since I've actually been there. Been stuck underground.- "Her voice trailed off into a mumble. The she-wolf stood up and nodded.- "I'm within earshot if you need me. You know how you found me in the first place. Use your howl. Now, I must get going. So uhh, I'll see ya around." -With a flick of an ear, the fae turned and darted through the underbrush. She was finally going to be able to get home. The crisp air, the view at the top of the mountain. The cave that she shared with Alnair the short time before falling captive in the underground caves. She sighed and shook the thoughts of Alnair away. She was going home.-
-Drake nodded.- "I understand. Goodbye, Cheza." -He took a moment to think before the words actually registered.- 'Underground?' -He thought, then shrugged and padded back to the cave.-
