"Your brother told me you were missing, So I helped him to find you. You had been capturd and beaten by other hunters. I forced them to let you go"

Ray looked at him."i was coming to apologize to you ,and was ambushed ...",she said looking at him.

"Apologize to me? I'm the one who should have apologized to you"

Ray smiled."You did ,but i was to uset to lissen"

"Well, I'm just glad your ok. I guess this makes us even in the life saving department" Victor said with a smile.

Ray lauhged and nodded."yeah were even"

"Well, get some rest. I'll go tell your brother that your awake" Before Victor left, he leand over and kissed Ray on the forehead.

Ray blushed some then csighing she relaxed.

Victor went outside and informed Kioshi that Ray was all better.

Hiroshi cheered and ran inside hugging Ray.

Ray laughed hugging him."hey there kido"

Victor sat outside and watched some pups play. For the first time in years, he felt like he had done something good.

Rya soon went outside and joined him."cute arnt they?"

"Yeah, the pups are adorable. So tell me, why did you want to apologize? You did nothing wrong"

Ray looked down at him."I over reacted",she said softly."normaly i dont out burst like that"

"No, you had every right. I had killed your kind. I would have reacted the same way if you killed a human mother"

Ray smiled some and took a seet beside him.

Victor smiled. "I never really got a chance to thank you for saving me from that wolf a week ago. Thank you"

Ray smiled to him."your welcome,as i said,its my job"

Victor reached over and held Ray's hand. "I've encounterd alot of wolves, and you are the one with the strongest spirit"

Ray looked at him."its my job to be strong ...im not allowed to be weak"

"So you never get a chance to relax? To play? To love?"

"So you've never enjoyed anything? Not even a crush on someone?"

Ray sighed standing up."unforchanetly ,no ive necerenjoyed a singel thing or have ever fallen in love"

"That's too bad" Victor stood up. "I have to get going. There are other things that lurk in this forest besides wolves"
