Yorkshire swayed gently on the spot as he ran over the story.He didnt think Aidan left anything out.And even if there was,he would let Aidan tell.He looked up to a noise to see black shapes treembling from Ben`s shoulders.Finnaly,curiousity over-powered his will power."Why...Why are they doing that?"Ben glanced quickly at the tembling pair before answering."They feel on their own,but not like us.Its...Complicated."Suddenly,Yorkshire`s anger shot out like a bullet."What?I`m too stupid to understand?"Ben was right away taken aback and only stuttered,helpelsssly looking to Aidan."Yeah,thats it!You think I`m stupid,just because I`m little-er the you!"He stamped his foot in a childish manner."I dont even know you well,and I already hate you!"He stomped off haughtily.Ben`s wing flapped excitedly."Shut up!"He snarled,and they fluttered down to his sides harmlessly.He hated being laughed at,even by his own wings.

Aidan quickly stopped eating, swinging her body around, giving her full attention to the two. She couldn't manage to slip in any words between them. Once Yorkshire left, she sped off and said, "I'll handle it." She followed Yorkshire until she believed that Ben was long gone before calling his name. "Come on Yorkshire, you misunderstood!" she said, still running, "I don't even understand things about him!" She picked up speed and frowned, hoping he was listening. "It's not easy for him either..."

Yorkshire was hidden high up in a tree,shoved as best as he could into a small hollow.Only small sniffles gave away his hiding place."Go away."He wiped his nose with his ball and the branch tilted nervously.
Ben lunged forward but caught himself short as Aidan took off.Aidan could handle that better then he could.He sat down and stared at the dead deer before him."I`m sorry,little friend.So sorry."

Immediately she slowed up, looking up at the many trees above her. A small clump of shivering red and yellow leaves high above made her tingle. "Well, if you're not coming down until I leave, you're gonna be up there a while, kiddo..." she said, her voice soft yet loud at the same time. If there was one thing for sure, she was not going to climb up to get him. She was a dreadful climber and she always was.
"Ben doesn't want you to hate him, Yorkshire. Hell, he's helping us find your mother even when he knows that you dislike him! I don't really know if this has anything to do with it, but his brother and sister passed away not very long ago..." she started, talking down to the ground to an invisible Yorkshire.

Yorkshire just listened."I know..."He shifted again."But how do you know he didnt kill them?"

Aidan chuckled, shaking her head. "When I first found him ... he was hiding from death himself." she told him, remembering how she clumsily tripped over him in the blackened sand. "I don't think he did. He told me how they died too. I'm not sure he wants me to say anything though.." she said.

Yorkshire glared down at Aidan through the dying leaves."See?Hiding form death.He`s not good,Aidan.I can tell."He leaned against the trunk lazily,stretching out his forpaws."Well,tell me and I`ll come down."

Aidan just wanted to rip his throat out at the moment but she swallowed down her anger. "I'm not going to because you are obviously not mature enough for it!" she said sternly. She was not going to play his games anymore. "Now maybe if you coorperate a little, I will!" she called as she got up, ready to go back to Ben, "What do you have against him?!"

"I already told you!Bad stuff!Whenever I`m around him,black stuff fills my mind...It`s like ink!It`s terrible..."He flicked his tail crossly."But,s`not like you wont believe me...Nobody believes little Yorkshire..."

"If I didn't believe you, we wouldn't be on this adventure to find your mom. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have got you away from Monroe!" She knew deep down that things would go quicker if they told Ben he couldn't come the rest of the way with them. But she also knew that if she even offered that to Yorkshire, which he would obviously accept, she might never see Ben again, which would probably tear her apart. There was no way she wanted to leave him behind or worse have him hate her.
"So would you rather be back with Monroe? Who is probably planning the deaths of Fate, Steel and that other one!?" she demanded, pinning her ears back. She could feel something squeeze at her heart like a snake. "The quicker you come down, the quicker we can find your mother. And once we find your mom, you won't ever have to see Ben again... or me." she said, whispering her two last words.

Yorkshire let the hand grip him icily.It fell over his heart and he looked down at his brown paws.They kneaded the branch nervously.He didnt want Aidan to leave him!No,he wouldnt.He wouldnt let it happen.But Ben...That was a different thing."Then...Fine!I`ll make a deal."He thought for a moment,then continued."He`s not allowed to talk to me,or touch me.And I`ll come down and shut up about it."York was already sliding donw the tree.He knew Aidan would agree.

Aidan wagged her tail happily, relieved he was getting out of the tall tree. "Deal. But no giving him rude gestures..." she said, waiting for him to get to the ground. She planned on walking slow, the more time it took to get to Ben, the longer she had to break the news to him. To take the subject off of him, she made the decision to talk about where his mother could be. "Now, do you remember being anywhere with your mom more than once?" she asked, ready to go wherever they needed to go.

Yorkshire walked steadily along with Aidan,not seeming to notice her slow pace."Hm...No,she didnt really take me anywhere,since I was so young.She mostly just put me somewhere like a cave,and went out for a little.But,she was muttering to herself sometimes on getting somewhere.I dont remember where,though.I think,it was like...Muh...Muh...Muh...Somthing with an M."

She nodded, taking in all the information. Aidan had been a loner around these lands for quite some time now, and she could think of a couple of places and names of wolves that started with the letter M. "Hmm. Maybe she was referring to McKinley Bridge? Or the Merry Meadow.." she said and glanced down at Yorkshire. "Both places are North from here, so maybe that's where we should head. You know, and ask around a bit." She smiled to herself and bumped into him playfully.

Yorkshire returned the bump with a sharp nudge,laughing happily.He nodded to her list.He didnt really believe that he might find Daimond,balancing the odds she wasnt dead.He shoved those thoughts into the back of his brain,shaking himself.But his girn faded abruptly as soft pawsteps were heard to greet them."I was wondering what took you so long!Yorkshire,look I-"Ben cut himself short.Yorkshire had suddenly turned himself and was looking longingly at the trees around them.
