Not so far from them, Wendell was sitting under a tree thinking about Lucy, and he heard Virginia's voice. He was close enough to hear what she was saying. She didn't notice him, but Wolf knew that Wendell is close to them, so he kept Virginia telling the story, hoping that wendell is close enought to hear her. When She told the whole story, Wolf was quiet, looking to the sky.
- I think that it was hard for her. I mean eating that heart.- then he looked to Virginia and added.- But it was never hard for wolves to eat meat. No one felt guilty about that.
- But she thinks that it was Nelson's heart.
- Maybe, and maybe not. But now I see why she ran out. She remembered everything and Wendell's confession made things go worse.
- Just don't tell Wendell about this, O.K.? I'm not sure that Lucy would want him to know about that, or maybe she would prefer telling him by herself.
- I won't say a word. I promise.
- Promise what?- Asked Wendell, as he didn't know anything. he came and sat beside them.- what were you too promising? Well, if its not a secret of course.
- Umm, well, Wolf promised that he would find Lucy. No matter what.- Said Virginia, trying to change the subject.- So, wendell, where did you go?
- Oh, I was walking. I needed to be alone for a while. It helped me alot.
At the word "alot", he looked to the ground. Wolf saw his face expression, and knew that Wendell have heard everything.
- O.K. guys, let's move now.- Said Virginia.
- What did you just call us?- Asked Wendell. Obviously he never heard the word "guys" before.
Virginia looked confused, she didn't say anything bad.
- I said guys. We use it call our male friends or just males.
- Oh, I see. That means that I am a.. guy?
- Well, yes, there are even more phrases to use for men. Like pal, dude, and other names.
- Well, you have a difficult culture I believe.
- Sometimes it is difficult.
- O.K., let's go!- Called Wolf.
He helped Virginia to get up on her horse, and they all left. they were silent again. Virginia was in the front, like she was leading the way. Wolf slowed his horse to be at Wendell's level.
- So, I guess that you heard what she told me, right?
- I heard everything, I wasn't so far.- Wendell replied.
- And what do you think?
- I don't know. I'm confused. If I knew about that I would have waited for the best time to speak out. I'm such a fool!
- No you're not.
At that moment Virginia turned to them.
- Hey! We're not a picnic. Hurry up!
- We're comming!- Said Wolf.- Wendell, we'll continue this conversation later, at a better time.
- All right.- He relpied.
They continued their way, untill it was evening. wolf suggested to stop now, and continue in the morning. But Wendell said:
- No, let's go a little more, then we will stop somewhere. It's not dark yet.
- But it's getting to.- Said Wolf.
- I think that Wendell's right. Let's continue now, when it's dark enough we will stop.- Said Virginia.
- Oh, allright.- Said Wolf, moving his to the sides.
When it was dark, they finally stopped. They noticed a light not far from them.
- Hey! I see a light over there, it might be a house. Let's go there. We might be able to stay there.
- No! Let's stay here!- Said Wolf. he smelled something familliar.
- But why? Asked Virginia.
- What is it Wolf? Is it dangerous?- Asked Wendell.
- Well, kind of.
- Tell us Wolf! What is it?- Asked Virginia.
- It's wolves. I smell wolves.
- Here? Are they close?- Asked Virginia. She was getting scared.
- No, they're not close, but I think that they are at that house. I will go first, to check. If it's safe, I'll come back to take you there.
- All right then, you go, and we will wait for you here.- Said Wendell.
Wolf left them and went toward the light. It was a little house. No one was outside. He got of the horse and came close to the door. Before he could knock, the door was opened.
- May I help you?- Said the woman who opened the door.
- I.. I.., good evening madam. I saw the light from a distance and I decided to come. I hope that I didn't disturb.
- Oh, no you didn't, please come in.
She invited him inside the house. There were two girls playing near the fire place. The father was sitting at the dinner table. When Wolf entered he stood, and welcomed him.
- Good evening stranger. What brings you to us?
- Good evening Sir. I was on a trip, and I saw the light of your house, so I thought to come and ask you to stay here for a night. If it's possible.
- Sure! Half-wolves are always welcomed at our house.
- But I am not alone. My wife and a friend are with me.
- And where are they?- Asked the wife.
- Oh, there are not far from here, I wanted to come firts to see if it is safe to stay here. And I see that it is. If you don't mind, may I go and call them?
- Sure go ahead, you all are welcomed.- Said the husband.
- O.K., I'll be right back.
Wolf went out to call Wendell and Virginia. They were waiting for him at the same place where he left them.
- I'm back!
- Can we stay there?- Asked Virginia.
- They seem to be nice. It's a family, all half-wolves. A husband and wife, and two daughters.
- Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go.- Said Wendell.
They went to the house. This time, the husband and wife were waiting infront of the house for their guests.
- There they are.- Said the wife.
- They are humans.- said the husband.- Isn't it dangerous to keep them here?
- Let's see who they are dear, besides, that man was a half-wolf, so, I think that the others will be friendly to us.
- I hope so.
- I think that it was hard for her. I mean eating that heart.- then he looked to Virginia and added.- But it was never hard for wolves to eat meat. No one felt guilty about that.
