Kevinâ€™s amber wolf eyes finally caught a glint of a boat crashing against rocks. His wolf heart beat twice inside his chest.<span style="font-style: italic"> A survivor? An actual survivor. </span>He sat on his paws with his tail wagging excitedly. Surly the person wouldnâ€™t want to see a wolf when they woke up. But there was no way he would chance the person still being awake. It was a secret and had to be kept that way. The ground underneath his paws was soft, and grainy just as sand should be.<br/><br/>He padded along the beach closer to the ship. Sniffling the scent of a female. His nostrils flared a little and he felt a mournful howl escape his muzzle. It was an instinct and he wasnâ€™t sure why. He couldnâ€™t see the owner of the ship, but knew she had to be around the ship somewhere.  His eyes scanned the perimeter-searching through the rocks and looking for a shadow of something remotely human. It was then that he caught the slightest movement in the water. The shadow shaped into a human shadow. He knew this must have been the owner of the boat. But the shadow was real close to the water, and it was nearly impossible for a wolf to swim through the murky water between the rocks. There had to be another way. A wolf just couldnâ€™t fit between the rocks.<br/><br/>But could he make it on top the rocks. He quickly trotted towards the rocks. Heading farther west down the beach where the rockiest part of the beach was. He pounced on top of the smallest rock. Just narrowly sliding off. The worst of the storm had passed but still the water was freighting at this time. Waves lapsed over the rocks, and he almost lost balance on the same rock three times. He whimpered wondering why he had to be the hero. Was it cause he was tired of being pushed around? Who really knew. But he had to help this girl even if she was already dead. Her death would need to be known to someone right?<br/><br/>He breather again contemplating on if he could make the jump to the bigger rock that was about five paw lengths away. Just one mistake and he would be crashing against the sea bed, and be drifting off to sea like a helpless kitten. He whimpered a little at the thought. There was no way he was going to give up. He arched his back a little and flexed his paws much like a cat. This time he leaped from the rock extending his black paws towards the next rock. He narrowly missed the rock by an inch , and felt his paws scrape at the rock as his worst fear came alive.<br/><br/>His head bashed against the rock and he felt the blood drip down his muzzle. The light of the moon was a blur, and a painful growl escaped his lips as he desperately kicked at the water to keep himself afloat. It was then that he got a flash of silver hair against the water. The girl. She was floating her back facing him. If only he had the strength to reach her. Desperately he felt his paws kick forward as his head pounded in pain.  He tasted blood on his tongue, and fought against the current even harder. It felt like hours before he felt a wave swish him up, and carry him towards the girl.<br/><br/>Big black paws swiftly pushed the girl towards shore. He waited till his muzzle was close enough to bite her t shirt, and drag her towards the beach. At this point in time he wasnâ€™t even sure which way was shore. He just let the current take them from the rocky area. Making sure to keep his jaw clenched on her clothing. The blood must of dripped from his head, past his jaw, and onto her shirt because he was seeing red dots on her clothing.<br/><br/>He tried hard not to let the world go black around him. Eventually the two of them had washed up onto the beach. He felt the familiar sand underneath his paws. He was sprawled out in a position that no wolf should ever be in. But sighed. The pain at this point was a dull numbing in his head that wouldnâ€™t go away. He released his hold on the girl and let his muzzle relax. He took note that she was breathing. Most likely injured by the crash, and passed out in pain. But none the less OK. He rested his muzzle on the girlâ€™s shoulder and tried to wrap his body around her so she would be warm. However, it was very painful for him to do so. In the process he lost his sight, and everything just went black. When the world came back however he had managed to cover most her body with his fur.
