My eyes opened, and I felt movement underneath me. "Where... am I?" I croked.

"We made it Wolf. We caught up to the waggons. You passed out and have been out of it for two days." Katja whispered stroking my face. I groaned as I tried to sit up. Katja helped me up. I saw the boy sleeping in the sling around Katja. "He's fine. He has an infection and we have medicine."

I looked over my shoulder at the person driving the wagon. "Gorilla... you're here."

He sighed. "Lay down Wolf, you're still confused."

Katja pushed me to the bed again. "We are heading for a village, and when we get there, we will need to separate from the group." She said looking at Gorilla

"If you well enough Wolf." He growled.

I frowned at the ceiling. I'm used to being pushed away. I don't like them pushing us away right now but.. it is what it is. "I'm fine." I grumbled.

Katja sighed as she sat there. "They don't like you do they?"

I chuckled. "I told you they would be like this. I committed the worst sin you could."

"I disagree, Wolf. You did what you had to." Gorilla said over his shoulder.

I sat up again and moved closer to Gorilla. "I did what I did out of vengeance. Not because I had to. My family is dead, they wouldn't care if I killed the bastard that took their lives from them. I did that for me. Anyway, what's done is done."

Katja took my hand meeting my eyes. "They would be proud of you."

I smiled at her as the wagon stopped. "What is going on?" I asked looking at the wagon slightly in front of us.

"I think the scouts have come back. We are close to the village. I will go and see what is going on." Gorilla said climbing down.

I moved over the seat and jumped to the floor. Gorilla looked surprised. "Stay here Pup." I said calling to Katja.

"I will Wolf." Katja said as we walked away.

"What happened Gorilla?"

He frowned. "When?"

"Why did Dragon fly after that wagon?"

He nodded. "The queen of Spiders tried to kill Rat, Dragon spends all his time with her now. Well now that Spider is wounded and more hated than you."

So she pushed it further than I would have done. At least I was wronged by the person that I killed. Although she didn't kill Rat. We stopped at a group just as the two wagons that had gone off came back. "It looks like a trap and we need more scouts to see if there are humans in the houses."

I saw Rat on the wagon watching me. "I will go. I have a good nose." The group looked at me and the objections started.

"Let her do it." Rat said.
