Melim slipped quietly into the dark hut, the noise from outside dulled slightly by the walls. It was difficult to pinpoint where the twins were with their screaming reverberating off the walls. Her eyes adjusted swiftly to the murky interior and she swept the room, searching out the small sub and his children. The struggle was clear to see in the hut. Furs had been scattered over the floor, the small cabinet which had contained the treasures Fenir had found in the forest now lay up turned, it's horde spread around the floor and the bed was now upturned, on to it's side and pushed up against a corner.

She moved over to the bed quickly and got down to the floor beside the wall and glanced behind it. Harry was sitting behind it the children clasped to his chest, staring blindly at where the door was. He was breathing deeply, his chest rising and falling in panic. Melim moved the bed slightly from the wall, wincing slightly as it screeched against the floor. Harry turned towards the noise, his panic rising and his arms instinctively clasping tighter at his children. Melim knew that feeling well, knew the desperation she had felt, clasping Min to her breast as she ran for their lives. Her eyes closed in her own silent prayer of regret, if only she'd held on tighter. She brushed away a single tear and opened her eyes. Harry had pushed himself into the other corner, as far away from her as possible, where the bed still met the wall. Melim moved into the little sanctuary he had built for himself and moved the bed back into the wall where she had entered. She stayed close to the corner and bought her knees up to her chest and sat backward, clasping her arms around her legs. Harry watched her with apprehension, his feet up against the bed ready to kick it away and escape. Melim remained as still and silent as possible, with only her slow steady breathing to mix with Harry's panicked.

"Harry!" Came the panicked searching shout from the doorway and heavy footsteps rushed towards the bed. Melim and Harry looked up as Maya's face appeared over the side of the bed. Harry shrunk into the floor, trying to get as far away from the looming face far above him, scooting back into the corner and unconsciously closer to Melim, Maya being the more obvious threat at that moment. "Melim? What are you…" Melim held her fingers in to her lips and Maya quietened down. Harry remained in his corner, staring at the face above the bed.

"Maya," Harry's head shot towards her, like he had only just remembered she was there. "can you please get Harry some food?" her voice was croaky and broken like always but even then it seemed loud in the dark hut. Maya looked over at Harry, his breathing was erratic and sharp and his muscles were tight, ready to flee as soon as he was able. He looked back at Melim, whose eyes pleaded with him to leave.

"Uhh, ok." He backed away slowly, confused by what was going on. He had very little experience with things like this, tummy bugs and thorns in paws he could deal with but sickness of the mind was something very different. Perhaps he should really have more experience, with the amount of subs who had lost pups during the war, but before now Melim had been the worst case he had seen who had survived.

Once Maya's face disappeared from the side of the bed Harry's sole focus reverted back to Melim. The babies were still crying in his arms, his fear feeding theirs as well as their own discomfort from the tight way their mother was holding them to his chest. Melim opened the gap between the bed and wall behind her again and slipped away before returning quickly with furs, cloth and the twins sleeping basket. She slipped the supplies through the gap before following them in and closing the 'door' behind her. Harry had moved again to the other side of the bed but was obviously more scared of what was the other side of it than he was of her. She pushed the basket and most of the furs towards Harry, keeping one fur to herself. She wrapped the fur around her shoulders, grimacing slightly at the subtle smell of Fenir in the hide, before bringing her knees back up to her chest and waiting.

The babies were still screaming. He could feel their discomfort but he couldn't bring himself to lessen his grip, like they might slip through his fingers. The quiet woman was sitting and watching him in the corner. She didn't look threatening and she had yet to make any move away from her small corner of the wall, and she had got the other man, the one who had been sleeping, to leave so maybe she wasn't scary? He looked down at the basket and cloths she had bought back to them. The babies would be much more comfortable in the basket and he would be able to rearrange them much easier if he placed them down. He looked sceptically towards the other corner. The woman still hadn't moved, except to pull a fur around her shoulders. He reached out towards the basket with his foot, pulling it closer to him, watching the woman closely to see if she would make any move. She didn't, she just watched him. He slowly loosened his grip on the babies, his eyes still trained on the strange woman, before slowly lowering them into the basket. She still hadn't made a move, except to slightly rearrange her sitting position.

The babies were happier in their bed and their screaming stopped, to be replaced by slow snuffles. He smiled to them and tucked the furs around them to keep out the cold. He picked up one of the spare hides and gingerly wrapped it around his shoulders to keep out the chill and then set about fussing over the babies, cooing softly to them and rubbing his finger down their soft cheeks. Slowly they settled down, the fair one sticking his fingers in his mouth haphazardly and snuggling into his brother before the both slipped off to sleep. He watched them for a moment, marveled by the beauty of the two puppies in the basket, before he heard a small scuffle from the hut beyond. His head shot up. The woman still hadn't moved but there was someone else in the hut. He pulled the basket closer to him, trying to not disturb the sleeping children. The sleeping man's head appeared over the side of the bed. The woman moved to her knees and took something from the man and placed it on the floor beside her. He reached down and retrieved something else.

"I thought you might want some water too, it isn't too cold, hopefully." The man said. He knew he understood the words but they didn't seem to make any sense to his muddled head. The woman took a bucket and nodded to the man, placing it beside the other thing on the floor. The man nodded in return before retreating back away from the side of the bed. He heard the shuffling footsteps as the man left the hut. He looked back towards the woman. She had moved to sit on her knees and had pushed the thing the man had given her into the middle of the clearing. It was a plate with some sweet smelling food on it. She moved forwards on to her hands and grabbed a piece of the food before moving back to her corner, tearing of a small piece with her teeth and chewing slowly on it. His stomach rumbled in response to the smell. He reached over the children, mimicking her movements to avoid moving from his corner, and snatched up several scraps of food before retreating quickly. He stuffed one into his mouth, unable to resist the lure of the food in his hand, and moaned in pleasure as the sweet sticky taste of the meat hit his tongue. The woman gave him a small smile before taking another bite from her meat.

Maya moved outside the hut slowly, not wanting to leave his charge. At least Melim was a sensible woman, and she was probably the most qualified person to help young Harry. She had been in a similar situation, maybe not physically but mentally, and it had taken her a long time to come back from the brink of madness. Even now she had only just begun to speak with any regularity and that was mainly due to Harry’s need rather than her own. Maya gave himself a small smile. Perhaps this would be good for both of them.

The smile, however, didn’t last as a large wolf came running over. When he had come out to get the food and water Ram had managed to get Fenir to the forest in order to calm down and get away from the others. In the state he had been in the only pack member with a hope of holding his own was Ram, hopefully a good fight . Maya was pretty sure they would both be sporting a variety of new bruises the next time he saw them. He was completely right as the two wolves, Ram following close behind the Alpha, were both sporting fresh black eyes and Ram seemed to be holding his ribs rather tightly.

“Maya!” The Alpha yelled. “What’s happened to Harry? Is he ok? Tell me now!” Ram managed to grab the Alpha from behind before he ran headlong into the healer and pushed him face first into the ground. “Ram! Get the fuck off me now! I have to get to Harry!” Ram tightened his grip, trapping Fenir’s arms back behind his head, whilst his knee dug into the small of his back, pulling him back. Fenir struggled against his captor but Ram held as firm as possible as Maya knelt down to try and talk some sense into the Alpha.

“Harry is fine.” Maya said, looking deep into Fenir’s eye’s, whilst keeping his hands as far away from the clenching teeth.

“Then let me go to him.” Fenir almost sounded like he was whining, like a petulant child.

“No Fenir. You can’t help him now.” The Alpha’s body began to sag, finally giving up the fight. Ram, however, didn’t let him go, ready for any trick Fenir might pull in order to get free.

“Please...” Fenir’s head hung low in defeat. Maya felt for him, he truly did, but there was nothing he could do.

“I’m sorry, Fenir. We knew this might happen. He had a flashback. There are a whole host of things that he could’ve been remembering and I am not sure this is all about you.” Fenir’s had lifted up again, his face bewildered. Maya was starting to worry about The Alpha, he wasn’t coping well.

“What do you mean?”

“This can’t just be from what has happened whilst he has been with us. As horrific as it is to take away his children away, and… and rape him, and leave him without a pack…” Maya coughed and reined himself in, last thing he needed was to go off on one. “there has to be something more to this. I don’t think he was as… undamaged as he seemed when he came to us. The Dark Lord may have…" Maya paused it seemed wrong some how to to speak ill of the man who had lead the revolution which freed them to defend the figurehead of their enslavers. "We know very little about his past. It may be worth while contacting The Dark Lord to see if he knows more… to help Harry." this wasn't about politics, the past, the war or anything else, this was about saving Harry. Maya looked over at the Alpha who hadn't moved or said a word. "Fenir? Let Melim take care of Harry for the moment, she knows more about this than any of us but It is going to take some time before he is well again. You need to help him by finding out what is wrong with him, what has happened to him. Fenir? You can still help him." Maya words seemed to finally get through fog which encased Fenir. He could still do something, he could help. And maybe some day Harry would be able to see him again. Ram finally release Fenir as he nodded in agreement.

A/N Well once again this has been a while coming, even after my declaration that I had a renewed vigour with my writing. I am afraid I can only blame this on Christmas and its complete hijacking of my life. I have also started a new story, an alternate to Punishment where Remus lived. It is a darn sight fluffier, which is amazing to a angst queen like myself, but I won't start posting it until I have reached a certain point in this one, spoilers you see, however due to the fact that i have something else to write when I am in the mood for warm and cuddles it may take some time for me to write, but hopefully with the added motivation of New Years Resolutions I will be able to to get back to my regular updates.

A/N 2 on that note I would like to advertise for a beta reader. I think my work would really benefit from someone else taking a look over it before it gets posted. Anyone who is interested please pop me an email. As I said earlier I would like to get back to posting regularly so if you would like the job be prepared for a fast turnaround.
