Rose blew her green bangs away from her face as a small frown creased her brow, looking over the chart in her hand. The early winter morning had surprised her with one more case of pneaumonia. A boy had been rushed to her clinic before the suns rays had even touched the sky. The boy was in a more severe situation than the others she had seen this year and he didnt seem to be holding out well. No matter how Rose treated him, he wouldnt survive this round. The boy's name was James, he had been in before with the same case and it had left him severely weak.<br/><br/>Glancing up as James broke out into a coughing fit, she set the chart back on the bedside table then picked up a glass of water. Walking to the head of the bed, she sat on the edge and waited for him to stop coughing before lifting his head. Pressing the edge of the glass to his lips, she let him take a few sips before she layed his head back down then set the glass down on the bedside table. Pressing her soft hand to his sweat covered forehead, she sighed softly as she took note that his temperatue had risen again. Wiping the sweat off on a rag she had in her pocket, she got up and wet a new rag with cold water. Squeezing the excess water out before returning to the bed and laying it on his forehead. "You'll be okay James.." she whispered to the boy even though he was in an uneasy, but deep sleep.<br/><br/>Walking out of James' hospital room, she shut the door softly before turning and walking down the hall to her office. Shutting the door behind her, she removed her white lab coat and tossed it on the back of her office chair. Pulling on her black, body-hugging coat before opening her office window then hopping out into the cold, winter air outside. Landing with a crunch in the snow, she stood there for a moment as she let the air bite at her cheeks and hands. Crunching her way through the snow, she headed for the opposite side of their territory to gather a store of medical supplies she had. All their medicine was made from herbs and plants that Rose gathered during the spring, summer, and even fall. They had no need for human medicines that would never work as well as their natural medicine did.<br/><br/>As Rose reached the border, she froze as the wind carried a familiar scent to her. Crouching low to the ground, she slowly moved forward and looked out at the land beyong their borders to see a man she had seen many times before. His body was almost all covered in blood as he dragged a large buck to their border. Often, this male would leave animals for the pack and in truth it helped them out a lot. He even eliminated some of the animals that could have been a major threat to the pack. Rose had watched him many times before and always wondered why he never tried to contact anyone from the pack. Plenty of patrols had passed with him there but he never made a move. Just before Rose could try and call out to him, the male tensed and became very aware of something. Using his massive amount of strength, he threw the large buck over the scent line and started shifting.<br/><br/>Rose covered her mouth to keep a gasp from escaping her, he turned into a large beast that stood on two feet becoming seven feet tall. His teeth were big and sharp, his large muscles flexing beneath his fur coat and razor sharp nails that could easily rip into flesh grew. More than being afraid, she was awed by this man and his transformation. Feeling a strange connection to him in a way, a sort of pull towards him though she dared not say it. Before she could move, the male took off towards the hills surrounding their territory and where the rogue pack had been watching them for some time. Thinking that the man must of sensed a threat, she quickly shifted into her wolf form. Her bones snapping then re-forming as a green fur coat covered her body. Shaking out her fur, she stretched her front legs then her back before taking off towards the pack's camp. Her gray eyes scanned the forest, her black furred ears flicking and swiveling as she listened.<br/><br/>Rose was one of the best fighters in the pack, but she had chosen to become the pack doctor because her father wanted her to. Nothing was going to get past her and no one would hurt her family. Stretching out her legs, she picked up speed and bounded into the clearing as the wind carried the strong scent of the rogue wolves to her. Now that the alpha and beta had left the camp, they obviously thought the pack was defenseless but they couldnt be more wrong. Evence had prepared for anything and left Rose in charge if her or Boa werent around when the rogues decided to make their move. Skidding into the clearing, Rose shifted into her human form and grabbed the nearest man. "Get the children and women to the basement. Set up four guards at the entrance. Lock down the clinic and get our fighters out here right now. Go. Now!" she growled and shoved him away.<br/><br/>The man quickly let out a howl, the whole camp stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Before he could give out any orders, the camp was thrown into action as the omega's grabed the children and ushered them to the safe house. The non-fighting women quickly rushed to the group of omega's and children. People were shifting into their wolf forms, running back and forth throughout the clearing doing what was needed as quickly as possible. But the rogue's were getting closer with each passing second and the camp wasnt near ready.<br/><br/>Rose groaned softly then shifted into her wolf form, turning to face the edge of the clearing as she prepared to defend her family.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/31442243/Papa-Frenchie.600.1126949_thumb.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/>(Rose is my third character.
