Wolfrum.

17| War cry.

17| War cry.

      The thirty remaining survivors of the fifty that went for the Wolfrim returned with Kiana the next day, the Wolfrim had lasted a day, Kiana led the new Rine wolf's through the clearing back to the pack. On their way, Kiana walked over to the one that had killed the Ejonah.

She grabbed him to a nearby pond," strip," she commanded making the boys eye go wide.

"What?" The lad asked.

Folding her arm, Kiana asked, " what is your name?"

" Avan,"

" Avan, strip," she commanded again, a warning edged in her voice this time, Avan nodded.

Then slowly, he took off his shirt and trouser with his shaky hands, Kiana was used to seeing brutal things However the sight before her still had her inhaling a sharp breath.

She shook her head," sit," he had been slashed by the Ejonah, alongside the other scars on his back that were there long before, Avan sat on the floor then Kiana sat behind him.

" Why didn't you tell me about this?" She asked.

The boy remained quiet, perhaps not comfortable with Kiana's soft voice, Kiana placed her hand on his back then she closed her eyes and focused on the deep gash, when her eyes opened the gash had healed up including the other scars.

" You should speak up next time you are hurt," she stated weakly, standing to her feet she added, " you need to rest then you will be okay by the time we return then we will discuss about the scars on your back.

Avan stood to this feet and put back his clothing, his eyes remained on Kiana, there was a moment of silence before he spoke," You are hurt too,"

Kiana glanced at her amour, a gash had somehow made it's way to her arm, she smiled," no wonder i felt weak after healing you, " covering it with her palm she shrugged," it will heal itself ,"

" Let Lake heal you, he is best healer among us," Avan offered.

" He can't heal me, let's return to the others, they are waiting," they returned to the others, then they made their way back to the pack.

" Welcome," Brick looked at all of them, his eyes glanced at Kiana then away, " come, the pack awaits you," he added.

They returned to the pack and continued the rest of the Wolfrim which consisted of Cleaning up and preparing for the celebration.

Kiana returned for her home, Havana was by the door waiting for her.

"Mother," she called, hugging her mother.

" Kiana, my baby, " her mother sobbed, checking her for any wound," you are hurt," she exclaimed seeing the deep gash on her arm.

" I am fine mother," Kiana shrugged her off and made her way for her room.

" Kiana please let me-"

" It's Kian mother and no, I am alright, I am not ready to let you get hurt for me again, your health is frail, think of yourself for once please, what were you thinking when you casted the spell in the first place?"  Kiana snapped.

Her Mother shook her head," are you doing this to protect me? Mother will be alright, please go to a healer, "

" No, I will deal with this one myself, Goodnight mother," with that said, she walked into her room and slammed the door shut.

Groaning, she sat on her bed, fuming at herself for getting hurt, it was her first time in two years.

She had promised to never get hurt again after she found out what her mother had done, never.
