Acim wanders

Acim started to stutter as she tried to bark, and after walking confused, starved, and very tired for so long she soon collapsed and right before she passed out she howled as loud as she could, trying to get someone who could help her, to find out where she is, and how to get back to the castle

I prick my ears as I hear the wolf. "Rocky, do you hear that?" I ask

"Ya i do" i race towards the howl and see another female wolf i go over to her and ask "Ma'am are you ok"

Acim wakes up, still very tired and hungry. she tries to get up but can't. she tries to talk, but all that comes out is a little whimper, so she just shakes her head no. she finally gets to where her front legs are up, but her back legs aren't. she passes out and lets out a long sigh .

I rush over and gasp. "Rocky, we have to help her!"

"Acim why did you come all the way from the kingdom" i nod my head at my mate and scoot my head under her and lift her up on my back and go to a small river so she can drink

I take my paw, scoop up some water, and pour the water in her mouth

Acim gratefully accepts the water and smiles weakly at the two, then says quietly to Rocky, "I might ask you the same. I was playing with Ruby, but i fell asleep, and got lost trying to get to the castle." her head fell down and, exhausted, she slept to regain her strength

I turn to Rocky. "We should take her to camp." I say quietly

i nod at my mate and say "I will never leave a gratful servant that served me and the queen alone to die" i start to walk back to the den and lay her on a small pile of dry grass

she finally stands up and stretches, as the newly rising sun makes her coat shine. she yawns and stretches some more than walks around a bit. she sees Rocky and his new mate and trots over to them. "Thank you for all of your hospitality, but i must get back to the castle." she sadly, and regretfully says. she then walks off, regretful that she must leave and go back to being a servant, even though she is paid, housed, and fed

"You may stay here"

she stopped walking and smiled at him very gratefully. 'Really?! That would be great! And if i quit my job at the castle, i could finally have a mate and pups!" she said, very quickly, and excitedly

How arre my pups doing acim"

she smiled big. "They are doing fine, and they are all happy. But they don't exactly miss you." she frowned at the last part. "Actually, they are glad you are gone because they think you killed Majesty, you beat Kaniah, he denies that though, and you abandoned them beacause you hate them." she put her head down, expecting to get beaten

"Why do they think that i left because my place as king was taken over by my son"

I slink away

Acim looked up with her eyes on the brink of tears. "I... I..." she stuttered. she then turned and ran away to find a mate, whimpering with her tail lieing flat on the bottom of her stomach. she looked back several times, then ran, faster than anyone knew she could, to find a mate that would be kind to her

i looked at my mate and chased after her "Wait please"

I stop. "Sorry."

i nuzzle her "Whats wrong"

I sit down. "Well, I was just getting away because, it was uncomfortable with me there."

i nuzzle her "I'm sorry i just wanted to know how my old pups were doing but i know that they hate me now"

*smiles* "It's ok."

i smile and nuzzle her "You know i would like to start a family over with you"
