Paws moved delicately across the area. Moon was sleeping now. The brute did not wish to awaken her. Halting near her head he dropped the poppy seeds. She would know to eat them when she awakened at any rate.The brute moved around behind her. Lowering himself down so that one paw lay over her in a protective stance. The brute began to groom her pelt. Cleaning it of the scarlet blood.
Eventually the song of the land tired him. Allowing his crown to droop Nezero drifted off to sleep.

Moon woke but didn't open her eyes. She smelled Nezero nearby so he had returned after all. Warmth spread through her and she smiled a little but remained still. The sound of his breath was at her ear and it sounded slow. He was out like a light. Moon shifted just a but so her head was laying near his though she tried not to wake him. In her darkened world, apart from Midnight, Nezero was the only one that ever gave her a chance. Torn had done nothing but chew her up and spit her out. Ebony was calm and understanding but Luna overprotective. Nero had given her every chance a normal wolf got, including life. Something in her mind tried to bring up the topic of where her heart had gone but Moon pushed it away. After her odd relationship with Torn, Moon had perfered not to think about it, not now and not ever.

Nezero dreamed in his sleep. Actually, it might even have been a nightmare. Who knows.
"Moon!Moon!"Nezero panted. The brute was running faster than he might ever have thought possible."Moon don't leave me! Pleae don't leave me!" The brute ran on. Moon had been standing right in front of him. But now she seemed to be getting farther and farther away by the second. The thick dark fog enveloping her and stealing her from his grasp."Moon!" Nezero's call was pointless. She had disapeared.
Nezero awoke with a start. Breathing heavily. Then he realized Moon was right next to him. Nezero settled himself back down. Close to her. Moon's scent was like heaven to him.

Moon felt troubled when Nezero's breathing became faster and his muscles tensed and untensed constantly. He was having a nightmare but what about? What in the world would Nero have to have a nightmare about? As far as Moon had known there had only ever been on thing in the world to set him on edge....and that was....her.
When the brute woke with a start, Moon tried not to jump in surprise at his sudden return to conciousness. Moon pressed her smaller form against his fur with a soft comforting whine.

Nezero smiled rather sheepishly as his breathing became normal again. "Sorry, I did'nt mean to startle you Moon." He murmured. The brute glanced over her wounds once more. The cobwebs were holding steady. The wounds without cobwebs had been clean and had not started bleeding again. She should be alright. "How are you feeling?"He asked. If she was hungry, it would'nt take him two minutes to be off hunting for her. Thirsty, he's get her some water.

"I'm fine" Moon murmured, resting her head against the ground. "I just don't know what I should do now. Should I go back to my pack?" Moon sighed and turned her head so that her muzzle brushed Nezero's fur. He still had that woodsy scent that often meant he was a loner. Rouges smelled more of blood and packwolves, depending on their pack, all had a destinct scent. Nero's however, stood out to her more, maybe it was because she'd known it longer but still, it was a comforting scent.

Nezero paused. Biting his tounge before he retorted and said anything harsh. Nezero nuzzled Moon affectionately. Finally he replied in a kinder, softer tone. "Moon, you know how I feel. But that, that is something I cannot decide for you."Nezeero paused. Loving her scent, her warmth. Moon was different than other's to him. "Follow your heart Moon. Don't run from your heart and emotions."

Moon laid silent, mulling over his words. She did know how he felt, it was obvious. She didn't want to hurt him by leaving and she knew that if she did leave, he would feel it for a long time and so would she. Moon knew she would be very lonely without Nero. He was the only wolf that ever really gave her a chance. Torn had been a friend but....Moon didn't know quiet what had gone wrong between them. Nezero made her feel...loved, like she was worth the time of another wolf. Moon slipped away from Nero and struggled to stand. Her hind leg was held off the ground slightly, still paining her. Moon's ivory coat shone in the moonlight, splatters of scarlet still remaining where blood had fallen and dried, making her fur slightly spiky.

Nezero let her go. The brute did'nt rise himself. Sweet Tangerine had done a good job with the other sicknesses, but infection still lingered in one of his wounds. He had yet to treat it, and knew it would get bad. But the brute had no idea what to treat it with. Finally he rose to a seated position. The wound could be seen now, but Moon was blind. He just hoped she would'nt smell it. If she did.... Nezero gazed at her. Moon would probably know he was looking at her. She could always tell such things. She would feel his eyes on her.
