The forest was quiet save for the panting breaths coming from Siobhan West and her faithful wolf, Ebony. It had taken the better part of two days to make it down to Moscow from Suzdal, a car drive would’ve seen them finish the journey in a few hours, but Siobhan took every excuse she could to roam the wilds. Ebony was thankful for that bit. The she-wolf didn’t mind hanging around humans and their technology, but she grew restless when confined. Siobhan had made her put up with a world tour, which had just ended last night, so forsaking a vehicle was the least she could do.
You’re sure this is the right way? Ebony said to Siobhan in that strange telepathic voice of hers.
“My wallet says the estate should be just beyond the edge of this forest… What a nice day, though, huh?” Siobhan answered back.
Nice…? We could be chasing rabbits and filling my gut! Instead, we are looking for Aiden… Let him come to you, dearie…
“You know I need to speak with him, Eb. The man is impossible to get a hold of. I promise you can hunt all you want once we get to this mansion place.”
Ebony was silent.
The pair kept a brisk pace through the woods. Siobhan really did miss this. Singing was all good and well, but it didn’t compare to the sun on your face and the dirt between your toes. No matter what her manager wanted, she would definitely be taking the next six months off to enjoy all of this. She had a purpose to fulfill out here anyway… She just wasn’t sure what it was yet.
Trees parted just beyond the two females and a large cement wall to the heavens above. Ebony looked to Siobhan with a questioning air. The wolf couldn’t emote as a human could, but Siobhan understood her perfectly.
“We’re going over,” Siobhan said simply.
Doesn’t your kind usually use gates and doors?
“That’s for suckers, Eb. Besides, maybe we can peak in a window or two before bursting in on Aiden. I’m curious as to who he’s spending so much time with… Dimitri said he’s been hiding out for the last year or two, who’s special enough to chase Aiden out of his depression?”
Fair enough… Ebony said as she cleared the wall in a graceful arc. Siobhan had to take a running start to gain height. She didn’t get over it easily, having to scramble over the last few feet with sheer determination. As she pushed over the wall, a loud explosion sounded just off to Siobhan’s left. All the world seemed to shake, colors flooding Siobhan’s vision as she crashed to the ground. A second blast erupted as her back slammed against the green grass.
Everything went black.
