Rachel walked through the forest, the cool leaf littered ground feeling nice on her travel-worn paws. Crouching next to it she lapped from the cool clean water, then wandered over to a willow near by. She lay down beneath it and watched the stream rush by. The moonlight dappled the surface of the water, and she gazed at the reflections of the moon and stars.

Wandering through the territory, Zack felt himself sigh. No use being upset about it - what's done is done. He probably wasn't the only one hurting from all this mess. But he decided not to let it get to him, and instead go out to stroll by the river. Setting his soft paws on the dew-dropped grass, he took a long whiff of the night air. Cool and crisp, but what was that other thing? Recognizing it as another wolf, he went to investigate. As if a shadow in the night, his gray fur made him seem as if one with the forest. Stopping momentarily to stare at the moon, he set off to find this intruder. His own reflection speckled the water as he padded up to it on the opposite side.

Rachel was starting to doze off, but movement in the corner of her eye got her attention. She turned to look, then jumped in shock. There was the reflection of another wolf looking back at her! Her head whipped up and as her eyes found the other wolf her fear drained, then was replaced with curiosity. "Who are you?", Rachel asked as she sat back on her haunches.

"My name is Zack Fair" He answered with a gentle voice, watching her jumpy actions. "Moon's nice tonight, isn't it?" He smiled at her, looking up to the sky. His fur seemed to sparkle, as did his perfect blue, Mako-infused eyes. Leaning closer to the water, he took a drink, as he waited for her response - showing how lax he was. As always, he was looking for the pup that went on late-night expeditions. Alone. And the thought bothered him.

"Yes, yes it is." She looked turned her gaze to the sky, admiring the white orb that floated amongst the stars. "I think it will be full soon, tomorrow or the next day..." She said, mostly to herself. Her eyes returned to the water and as she watched Zack took a drink from the stream, she realized something. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rachel." Turning her gaze to him she saw his troubled look, but she had been traveling long enough to knew better than to ask a stranger about his problems, although her eyes were sympathetic.

A light wind brushed the fur on his cheek aside when he looked up from his drink. "That'll be pretty. Then again...it always is." He took his eyes to the sky briefly once more. "What're you doin' so deep in the forest, Rachel?" He asked curiously. "We don't see many wolves out here, especially this late at night." thankfully. he added to himself, still concerned for his little pup. Ashy, where are you? He asked to himself, eyes focused and on the new wolf.
((You mind if I add her in in a little bit?))

"Yes, I love the full moon. But I think the night sky looks the most beautiful during the winter. The stars just seem...brighter." Rachel looked up at the sky, thinking about winter. It was her favorite time of the year; the way the snow blanketed the ground, the way the stars seemed brighter. And her fur kept her toasty warm, it was a lot thicker than it looked. "What am I doing here...?" She repeated, her gaze still on the sky. She turned her eyes on Zack, then answered his and her own question. "I'm a lone wolf; I don't usually stay in place for very long. And I prefer to travel at night. It's cooler, I see better, and I run into less wolves." She turned her face away as memories flashed through her mind, and her eyes pricked with sadness.
(( Don't I have to write a thing about her? And I don't have those little pictures with the wolf and its name. ))

((XD I was talking about Ashy, but you should ask Dark for the minis. You can write her story anytime after the RP is done though ^__^ ))
Zack listened absently. His thoughts were elsewhere, as was his pup. He felt his claws sink into the soft dirt beneath him. "Reflections from the snow." He explained without thinking, mostly clarifying a reason to this for himself. The way snow touched his paws then came into mind - cold, and soft. He remembered the pawprints scattered around his own as he walked along the same stream before, from...Ashy. Where was she, anyway? Turning swiftly as Rachel spoke to look at her, he nodded in understanding. "If you stay here, I'm afraid you'll see a lot more of us." He stared with a happy tone, "This territory belongs to the pack Moonlight. Actually...I'm looking for one of our own now." The worry flooded back into his eyes. It wasn't that he was uncaring of her sadness, so much as thought better than to make her dwell on anything unsettling.

(( She can some in whenever. And I'll do both of those things soon. :3 ))
Rachel flicked her tail in front of her, then inspected the tip. " It's not that I don't want to be with other wolves, It's...How should I put it?.... It's that I don't deserve to be with other wolves." She flicked her tail at a leaf on the ground, then watched it fall back to the earth. "I hurt someone close to me, then I left them. Ever sense then it seems whenever I meet a wolf I say or do something to hurt them. So I've found it easier to just avoid them." I don't know why I'm even telling you that, she thought to herself. But something about his bright blue eyes made her want to spill all her troubles, Even though he probably doesn't even care. She pulled her self out of her melancholy thoughts, and turned her grey-blue gaze to him. He looked worried again. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you looking for?" She asked, tipping her head slightly to the side.

(( Mmkay ^^ ))
Instantly, Zack rejected her first idea with a swift head shake and gentle, sympathetic smile. "We all have our reasons, and I'm sure you have yours." He began to walk towards her so that he didn't have to talk as loudly, so his voice could be more gentle. "Everyone deserves to be with their kin. Trust me, what you did was probably more justifiable than half of the world." Zack mused, "And so far, I'm still okay, aren't I?" He used the fact that he wasn't hurt by her after meeting her as back-up for his consolation. "If you'd like to be around other wolves....we're all pretty easy to please here. It's hard to hurt one of us, though, not that I think you would on purpose." He nodded, before hearing her next question. "A pup. Her name's Ashy - always goes out. She's tough, but no match if something were to happen....I know I worry a lot about her, but..." sadness of painful memories and scarring images flashed through his mind, reflecting in his eyes.

Rachel quietly listened to Zack, watching the grass as it swished back and forth in the gentle breeze. "I guess you're right." She said quietly, then turned to face to him. It's time I stop dwelling on the past..., she thought. She looked out across the woods, the stars reflecting in the stream, and the thought of staying here didn't sound so bad. "I think I would..." She said; she would at least give it some serious thought. Hearing his next question, she chuckled a little. "Sounds like me when I was younger." She looked up at him, and her joking demeanor instantly vanished. Her grey-blue eyes were clouded as she gave him a worried look, after she saw the painful emotions in his eyes.

Zack nodded, smiling slightly. "Let me know what you decide - I'll introduce you" He tipped his head toward the heart of the pack. When she tried to make the situation lighter by joking, he beamed back up at her - the memories of his past pushed aside as he returned the laugh, "Yeah...I guess all pups do it. Still worried though." Then he saw the worried expression she'd given him and smiled gently - she shouldn't be worried. "Would you...like to help me look? I'd howl but...I don't want to wake up the whole pack."

Rachel smiled at him. "Thanks." She gave him an inquisitive look, as many thoughts floated through her head. With a nod of her head she replied to his question. "I'd love to help," she paused a moment, then looked up at him. "You're a good father, you know that?" As she said this she thought about her own family, but the thoughts quickly turned downcast, and she brought herself back to the present. Through this the only change in her was a flash of sadness in her eyes that disappeared in an instant.

Zack smiled back at her warmly and welcomingly. It seemed that a lot of new wolves were coming into the pack. He wondered if Angel would be please...Angel. He also knew that he upset her. "I'm glad" He replied, appreciating the help. Then, he stopped and his ears flicked, looking at her curiously, with a small smile at the compliment, "Thanks...though if I can't even keep track of a pup, I hardly think so." He laughed gently, but was still in a good mood for he bore a smile. When sadness flashed through her eyes, he decided it best not to ask. "If you were a pup, where would you be?" He started out with - he wanted to find Ashy as soon as possible.

Rachel returned the smile, as the thought of joining a pack floated through her head. "Well, I said that because you seem very... loving.Yyou care about her alot." She thought about Zack's question for a moment, then replied. "I think I would probably be near food, or maybe a secret hideout somewhere, or someplace I wasn't supposed to be." Saying she had been unruly or headstrong would've been an understatement. But what she lacked in obedience she made up for appetite. Always eating, yet she stayed small, and still was. Her disobedience had gotten her into many tough situations, and she had had to rely on others to help her out of them, due to her small stature. She wouldn't be considered "large" now(at least by Dire standards), but she was a tough fighter.
