Ben just siled."DOnt worry.He`ll be fine.It`s you I`m worried about."He made sure to watch her for any tumbles,but did keep his eye out for Yorkshire.He looked fine. The wolf`s brown paws struck the mountain side fiercly.Just one more disapiontment after another,he thought grimly.Oddly,for this moment,he took time to think about his past.Could he remember anyhting past Daimond.No,his eyes hadnt opened.But he could feel.And smell.He remembered the tangy and now familiar smell of blood,and the feeling of warm bodies agianst his.So,he had siblings.Somewhere.Maybe,up there...He absently directed his nose tot he sky and whimpered a bit.He felt his pad wrap around arock,and felt it wiggle.Dang it!He swore under his breath as his foot slid out and he jumped back,causing a mini avalaunche.He tumbled donw with it,stopping at a thin ledge,cathicng his bretah and slwoing his racing heart.

Not too far away, Aidan noticed another small ledge. For now, that was her goal; To reach that point safely. Step by step she went, her body structure looking awkward. She could easily jump to the ledge but her mind begged to differ, making her pad uneasily. As she softly landed on the little ledge, her body wobbled around. Luckily, she regained her balance. Aidan looked around to make sure Ben was still alive. He was, and it was no surprise to her. She shot a small smile his way and got off the ledge after she somehow found a way to relax. But what would happen after they got down? Surely it wasn't too far, she could feel it.

Ben paused with Aidan."Do you want to take a moment?Yorkshire could meet us at the bottom."Not to mention he was probibly close to it."Or do you want to keep going?"

She blinked over at Ben, considering it for a moment. But if they rested, she had a feeling her fears would bite at her again. "No, let's just keeping going!" she called to him, the winds almost swallowing her voice. Aidan carefully got off the ledge and landed on a weak spot of rubble, which almost made her slip. Luckily she caught herself again. "Climb next to me?" she asked him.

"As you wish."He said,letting his own hard fur rub against her soft."Whatver you wish."His paws seemd to almost float so lightly on the rocks.He seemed so sure-footed.It was surprising how unlike himself he could become.

Aidan smiled and waited for him to get next to he before taking another step. She could feel her cheeks start to heat up, and she desperately wished to give him a lick but was afraid that she'd fall. Ben being next to her made her confidence level rise, maybe making her a little too confident.
Her next step was her downfall ... literally. She jumped onto a larger rock, that looked sturdy. Unfortunately it wasn't, and unfortunately for Aidan, the wind was on the mountains side. The black fae lost her footing as the rock shifted out of place, and down she went. She tumbled down the hill like a rag doll, trying desperately to stop, but it was useless. There was nothing to grab onto. She let out a sharp yowl as her left front paw got caught in between two rocks.

Ben felt himself freeze as Aidan`s body left his.All he could do was watch,but it was the cry that shook him back."Ai!Hang on!"He called out,memories now taking over his instincs.His wings spread and he forgot about that he was on a sharp mountain side.He ddint want to take off.He just needed balance.He chased after Aidan,eventualy catching up to her and grabbing her scruff,digging his claws into the ground and setting his jaw."Don` worry,sister.I `ont let go."He said with a muffled voice.He puulled and backed up,putting all his strength into it and murmering softly to Aidan all the time,but slipping in thing like 'sister' or 'Ai'.

Somewhere amongst all the loud noises was a loud crack -- Aidan's ankle. Her body became very stiff as he brought her up to safety. Did her ears deceive her? She tried telling herself they did, but she knew in her heart they didn't. Ben called her the name of his deceased sister. Heck, he even called her sister. All the pain that was in her leg a moment ago, left and fled into her heart. Is that what he thought of her as? A sister? Aidan knew she shouldn't jump to conclusions to that, but everything was just so frantic.
Though they were unnoticeable at the moment, new flesh wounds were bleeding underneath her thick black coat. She ignored them and huddled close to Ben, thinking she'd fall again if she didn't. Tears started to stream down her face and he body shook with pure fear. All she wanted to do was get off of the mountain and curl up in a ball by herself to try and think.

Yorkshire felt his paws hit flat ground and turned behind him."Hey,come on slow pokes!HUrry up!"He smiled gently.He heard Ben cry softly."We`ll be right there."
Emerald green eyes surveyed Aidan.His soul was back in control."Aidan,are you okay?"But now he was sarcastic.Of course she`s not okay,she just fell down a mountain!He sniffed around her carefuly,pressing on her ribs and chest and waited for a reaction."Where does it really hurt?"

Her own ice blue eyes were filled to the brim with tears. Aidan let slip a sob and a gasp to gain her breath. Her body was still shaking and it took almost all the energy she had left just to cuddle up next to him. She pushed her head into his hard chest, covering her face to save herself the embarrassment. "My paw.." she whimpered through his scaly chest.
Out of all the places, her paw did hurt physically the most, but for her, she was mentally breaking down, questions soaring through her head that she would have to ask him later. For now, she couldn't move, and wouldn't dare get up and try to do it all again. Finally, she felt the blood from her stomach and hip seep through her pelt, and give it a wet, clumpy look. "My stomach and hip got cut too.."

Ben looked at the injured paw and absently tutted to himself,moveing it genlty with his nose."I think you sould definatly keep weight off it.And cuts...'It was then when he eyes widened ever so slightly and he started to clean them,taking great care for all of them.He wouldnt let another wolf he was friends with die.

Small sniffles were muffled as were her breaths which were quick and sharp. She calmed down quickly and nodded, showing she understood. The pain in her ankle was slowly dying down, but she knew it would arouse with the slightest touch. Aidan gulped and rests her head on his paw, staring over at him. "You called me Ai.." she said, her voice soft, and confused.

Ben blinked."I....I did?"He swung his head toy look at her."Oh,I`m sorry.That,that happens sometimes.I`ve done it with Daichi,too..."

"Did you know you also called me sister, too?" she asked, lifting her black eyebrows. She accepted his apology by lifting her head up and giving his chin a soft kiss. As long as it was just a mistake, she was fine. A small smile flickered across her face, her eyes still watery, and her cheeks still stained with her tears.

Ristvak`baen watched her for a little,then gave her cheek a quick lick,tasting salt form her tears."You are like my sister.Sweet,kind,a little shy,and..."He had to take a breath before continueing."Beautiful."He felt odd.Almost sick.His bowels began to infuriate and groan.Ben felt it,but ignored it strongly.
