Cody put his hands up and took a few steps back. “Be as you are then. If you don’t need anything, then I’ll be heading back now.”

"I said I didn't need anything for my wing," She said with an exasperated tone. She stood up, wing healed. She wouldn't be able to fly with it for a few hours though, she knew. "But I need a place to hide."

“Now that, I definitely have.” Cody responded. “You just so happened to land very close to my base.” He pointed to giant tree a few yards away, that didn’t seem to have a hole in it. “My house is there, but only my pack can see the entrance.”

"What do you mean pack?" She asked. "Humans don have packs."

“Humans don’t have packs, but wolves do.” Cody responded. “I never said I was human. That’s just an assumption that most people make considering how I look.”

"Can you blame me for thinking that? Most people look like they are. Orcs look like orcs, fairies look like fairies, I look like a Paradenian."

“I don’t blame you. Most people don’t get it either.” Cody started walking back to his house. “Only other werewolves can tell that about someone instantly. But there aren’t any other in this area. Only me.”

"So… You don't have a pack?" She asked. "You're like me. You don't have anyone, I don't have anyone."

“I guess you could say that. I technically do have a pack. Half are dead and the other half are on the other side of the world. So I am alone-it’s just me I have to rely on. The half on the other side are horrible.” Cody stopped in front of the tree. “Give me your hand so I can pull you in.”

Kallista stared at his hand for a few moments, and then hesitantly took it. Her magenta eyes swept over him, and for some reason she felt herself trusting him fully.

Cody could sense the trust in her eyes as pulled her through the hole only he could see. He stepped into the room, which wasn’t much bigger than a small bed room. He let go of her hand as soon as she was inside.

Kallista made a small pile of vines appear. She slowly started to weave them together, creating a sort of makeshift cast for her wing. She attached the cast to either side of her healed wing, making it stick.

Cody sat down on a small cot in the corner of the room. He watched as she made vines appear out of nothing. He looked around room, trying to picture how it would look to her. There was a small makeshift kitchenette across the room, with a small table pushed up against the wall and a few chairs. A couch and storage cabinet was along the next wall. The room was a mix of cluttered and neat, with random things spattered about.

Kallista had to keep her wing flat. She left it open, while the other one she kept close to her back.
"She landed around here! Find her!" They heard from outside. Kallista was terrified. She didn't know what they would do to her.

Cody looked over at Kallista when he heard the voices. “Don’t worry too much, this place is protected by magic. They should have a very hard time getting to you.”

She looked at him, the worry not gone from her eyes. "Are you sure? I don't know what Arapazia will do to be if she finds me."

Cody gave her a reassuring nod. “I promise you’ll be save as long as you’re in here. Some of toughest trackers have tried to find me and all have failed.”

Kallista was still scared. She had been running her whole life. The magic inside Arapazia was dark, and the Elders had brought it out. They had managed to soften the magic for many years, but it had unleashed. She'd killed everyone…and Kallista could only watch.

“The worst that could happen is they know you’re in here, but they’ll have some trouble getting in.” Cody explained.

"That doesn't stop me from being scared," She said, voice an octave higher than usual.

“Would you like some tea…?” Cody asked, unsure on what to do with the situation at hand.

Kallista looked at him, slight anger in her eyes. "Do I want some tea?! When there's the possibility that I could die?! No, I don't want some fucking tea!"

“To be fair, tea does have calming factors?” He said more of a question, than a statement, unsure of what his point was.

She glared at him. "I don't like tea anyway. Paradenians have a tolerance."

He opened his mouth as he nodded with a look of understanding. “Is there anything else I shouldn’t try to offer you?”
