A ghost told me to meet you

Even as Rudy wanted to converse with his mom the night's quiet was broken with someone yelling.  Apparently, he wasn’t the only one hearing voices.  Rudy slipped quietly through the land of shadows, the fun he use to have sneaking up on others, his many days spent stalking his prey and his dapple grey coat worked well to make him hard to spot.  Surely this is who he was looking for but he wanted to be sure.

‘That’s her.  She’s come to find our home.’

“Alright mom,” Rudy answered softly, “Please, don’t leave me though, stay with us for the walk back?” His words whispered softly to the wind to not have them picked up.  Fireflies still flew all about and their blue glow certainly didn’t make things bright as a day should be, it didn’t help him hide either.  Seriously, their numbers were irritating, especially when he wasn’t in the mood for them.  Oh well, mom wanted him to help someone.

“I was sent to find you,” Rudy spoke as he approached, “I assume it's you anyway.” The boy was stepping around some rocks and brush to come into sight, appearing a moment after speaking. “Thanks,” not that she’d understand why but this wolf’s need to find home let Rudy hear Mom's voice.  He was grateful even if it wasn’t something she’d intentionally created herself.  He wanted to ask her who she was, why his mom was concerned for her, let her know he was but for now a simple greeting.  After all, she was having an argument with someone else who was apparently dead.  He could wait for a deeper conversation once she was done with them.
