"Will she be safe...?" He hadn't realized he'd spoken aloud once more.

Ossie looked over to Oka. The young husky seemed a lot older, his icy eyes dull and his fur ruffled. "Yes." He simply said. "But we cant stay here, we all have to move soon."

Oka's eyes widened. "How can you say that? We'll be more than comfortable here, and unless this storm lasts for the whole moon, we'll live as far as food goes." He bet that, if he needed to, he could survive a week without food. He would let Nieve have it, and then she could hunt once it passed.

Ossie sighed. "The farmer is bound to come into his barn, and what do you think hes going to do when he spots a wolf and a husky in his barn. We are going to be as dead as your friends are." Ossie didn't want to move but he didn't want to die to a farmer.

"I-I.... I'm wounded, and you're only a husky. Perhaps if Nieve is here, we'll be fine!"

Ossie laid his head down on his paws. "Maybe..." Ossie paused. "How can Nieve stop the farmer? She a small cat." Ossie looked out through a window the sky was getting darker. "We could move to my old packs camp."

"Your pack fell to disease. I'd rather not risk it in there." Oka replied, a short cough escaping him.

Ossie gave a short nod. It was true. Ossie got to his paws and checked Oka's wound. It didn't looked as bad. He sniffed it and looked up at Oka. "How are y-" But before Ossie could finished his question there was a dull thud on the barns large doors. After a second a young two-leg walked in with a arm full of tools. Ossie gave Oka a look. He knew the farmer or some one was bound to come in.

Oka whimpered softly. "What do we do?" He couldn't fight, he couldn't run, Oka was having a hard time breathing! What could a healer and a wounded warrior do against a two-leg?

The quiet whimper made the young boy turn quickly, he froze. He didn't seem scared just surprised. Ossie's ears flicked back and he stepped closer to Oka. The soft jingle of Nieve's bell signaled she had walked in a large pigeon in her mouth, once she saw the young two-leg she dropped it and ran over to Oka and Ossie. The boy watched curiously. The boy crouched down putting the tools on the barns wooden floor. He spoke in his tongue and pulled a small sandwich from his coat pocket. He unwrapped it and stretched out his hand. The boy seemed to be much nicer than most two-legs. Nieve spoke then. "He wants to know if you want his food thing." Her voice was quiet.

Oka glanced to Nieve, and the boy, and took a deep breath. Could the boy see his wound, perhaps, and thought him no danger? Or was he simply a compassionate creature? He nodded.

Ossie looked from Oka to the boy. "I'll grab it." He said quietly. Ossie slowly padded up to the boy and took the sandwich softly. It felt funny in his mouth. He quickly padded over to Oka and dropped it at his paws. Nieve made a small purring sound and padded up to the boy. Ossie had never really seen a two-leg before. He had only seen them from afar, they were funny looking things. The boy seemed happy he gave Nieve a couple pats. The boys hazel gaze then fell on Oka, he saw the wound. The boy said something in his tongue. Nieve's ears flicked. "I think he wants to see your wound." She said quietly.

Oka shook his head vigorously. "N-no!" He cried, curling up to protect his wounded side. "The wound is not to be touched by a two-leg!" He glanced warily at the sandwich, now inexplicably suspicious.

Sensing Oka's discomfort the boy took a step back. He spoke something in his tongue and walked over to a large crate. He started to pull something out. A dark green blanket. He walked back over where he was and laid the blanket down. Nieve gave a small purr. "He said he was sorry for making you uncomfortable and hes now giving us something to keep us warm." Nieve paused as the boy picked up his tools again and put them away. "He says he will come check on us tonight." The boy gave Nieve one last pat and gave Oka and Ossie one last look before he left shutting the barn door. Nieve gave a small purr. "That's the farmers son i think his name is Nick or something like that, hes nice."

As he left, Oka sighed relief and moved to the blanket. "It is comfy...." Perhaps he wasn't so bad.

Ossie sniffed the blanket. "It looks comfy." Ossie lifted. He dragged it over to Oka. Nieve padded over to the pigeon and brought it over.

Being waited on made Oka bunch up with embarrassment. "Y-You guys, I can take care of myself too. You don't have to wait on my hand and foot." Though, two friends to look after him was something anyone would envy.

Ossie gave a small smile. "Im a heal im suppose to spoil you." Ossie wrapped the blanket around Oka. A harsh wind made the barns wooden walls whistle. The storm had finally hit. Nieve dropped the pigeon her eyes glittering. "The storm finally hit."

"As you say, it has arrived. I wonder if we actually will see the boy in the morning, or if he will wait out the storm." He shrugged, purring roughly at the blanket cacooned around him.

Nieve shrugged. "I dunno, i hope though. Hes nice!" Nieve stretched. Ossie had sat back down in his nest, he looked over to Oka. "I know you don't want him to help you, but could you give him a try? He only wants to help and i fear your wound might be getting infected." Ossie hated humans but this one truly wanted to help.

Oka took a deep breath. "Can you do nothing more?" He asked, shifting positions."

Ossie looked at the wound. "No, this leaf-bare is harsh and i don't have any of my herb stashes any more." Ossie sniffed the wound. He could smell the harsh smell of infection. Nieve watched the two her eyes glittered with worry.

Oka flinched and set his head down. "... I'm a coward. I don't want to die. So... if he comes, I'll let him see it."

Ossie nuzzled Oka's head. "Thank you." Nieve padded into Oka's nest and sat down. "Its going to be ok, hes nice." The storm raged on out side the barn, the boy kept his promise. The barn door raddled open just as the sun dropped behind the mountains.

Oka's ears twitched and he checked the door with his eyes. "Hello?" He whispered.

The boy smiled, he seemed to under stand Oka's small bark. He gave a wave as he walked closer to the small group of animals. Ossie then got up a idea forming in his head. He padded up to the boy and lightly grabbed the boys hand in his mouth, he lightly pulled the boy until they were next to Oka. Ossie then whimpered and placed the boys hand near Oka's wound. The boy looked from Oka then to Ossie.

Oka looked away, but nodded, uncurling his body for the boy.

The boy gave a knowing nod, he said something in his tongue and walked over to a white tin box. Nieve looked over to Oka. "He said he needs to grab some stuff." The boy returned with the white box and opened it. Ossie's nose recoiled to the harsh smell that came from the box. The boy started to take stuff out of it.

Oka flinched and could barely keep himself still and calm. "I understand. How do we know we can trust him, though?"

Nieve moved closer to Oka, "He has not hurt us yet, plus he gave us food." Nieve nuzzled Oka to comfort her friend. Ossie watched from a distance his eyes darting from the boy to Oka. The boy then began to clean the wound with a large cotton square. The boy was very cautious as he did this, his hazel eyes darting from Oka and back to the wound.
