Something rustled in the bushes from a distance. A rabbit? Thought Red. She shrugged it off, then tried to sleep again, but it wasn't awaiting her visit, like before. Then a dog-like figure lept over the bush. It's eyes narrowed. "You've come back, Scarred Russet..." Red screamed.

She blinked, her eyes still bleary with sleep. "Did you just-what is"-the wolf tackled her, panting.

"No time...follow...late...scarred..." He looked like he was about to faint. He was shaking in the cold. Red looked at him curiously, but cautiously. She could finally get a good look at him. He was gray, with a white underbelly and a white muzzle. He had ice blue eyes, and huge white paws and blueish looking black, long fur on his back. She was still getting used to the fact that he could talk...or that she could hear him. She scratched her head, and jumped when she felt wolf ears. She ran her fingers across her long, dark tail. At that moment she knew she was one of them.

"So what's your name," asked Red.

"Ice...Ice Claw," replied the wolf, still panting to catch his breath.

"Ice Claw. Ice Claw. Cool. So...what do we do now?"

"We rest. We can tell the others we found you later."

"Wouldn't they be scared about you not going back in time? I mean, don't Wolves watch out for each other?"

"Be quiet," Ice Claw growled. "They don't have to know."
