∆Maries PoV∆

I lean back against the tree to my left, watching for rouges while my sister sleeps. She needs the rest after being unable to sleep for three nights in a row. I blame our past pack, after all, it's their fault we're both close to death. They don't care about runts like us, especially ones they deem "defective". Things would be different if our parents didn't leave us...but then again, that wouldn't change our rank.

My stomach growls loudly, and it would have woken Marvy, but she's deaf. Thankfully, we have and automatic mind link because we are twins. It makes communication much easier. I don't remember the last full meal either of us had though. I think when we were 12, right before our birthday were we found out we were runts.

I need food. My wolf, Kira, whines at me.

"I know. I can feel hunger too."

Wise ass. My wolf growls. Go find food or I'll make you.

I internally roll my eyes. "Fine, should probably tell Marvy first."

No, let her sleep. She needs it.

"Okay"

After our conversation, I feel my wolf retreating into the back of my mind. She's been doing that a lot lately to conserve her energy. My thoughts are interrupted by Marvy stirring a little. She raised her head and looks at me.

I'm hungry. She whines. Damn, everyone's whining at me for food. Why me?

"*sigh* I know Marvy, I am too. Let's go look for some food alright?"

She smiles, and jumps up. She looks really energized, but I know there are pretty much permanent dark circles under her eyes no matter how much she sleeps. If I could trade places with my younger sister, I would. See, we're identical twins, well, actually we're part of a set of triplets but that's not important now. I was born one hour before Marvy so I am older. I just want to protect her.

Let's go slowpoke, Marvy teases, walking ahead of me.

I roll my eyes at her, but follow nevertheless. We walk for a little while, not worrying about carrying anything since everything we own is back at our old pack. I don't miss much there, only our older brother, William, the firstborn of our set of triplets. He always gave us his leftovers from the meals. He's a warrior in that pack, but he didn't run away with us. That hurt Marve the most; she looked up to him, a lot.

I think I found something!
Marvy interrupts my thoughts, again. At first, I was kinda upset, until what she said processed in my brain.

I quickly race to find her and when I do, low and behold, there's a ton of raspberries and blackberries about ten feet in front of us. It's beautiful.

"Marvy! This is amazing! I shout through the link. She smiles widely, happy for food, and I think happy she made me happy. I took a few steps forward and suddenly an alarm starts blaring. Oh shit, this is a pack territory. I quickly grab my sister and race away.

What's going on? She tried to tug her arm out of my grasp but I held tight and kept running.

"The berries are in a packs territory. We have to run" Marvy nods in response and picks up the pace. Goddess I hope we get somewhere safe.
