Howler walked slowly through the forest, his senses stretched out like most of his pack. They felt the intruder as soon as they had came into their territory. Looking around they hunted for the person that was putting the pack in danger. Bigger the others in his pack, Howler’s black fur made him look like a shadow as he moved around the trees. Sniffing the air, he could smell the person, “A girl,” he thought. Howling, he signaled to the others that he was close to the intruder. Moving closer his lean form cast a soft shadow from the setting sun. Moving closer, her sent grew stronger as he tracked her. He knew that the rest of his pack was getting closer.
As the sun set lower in the sky, the forest started to get darker, the last rays of light being blocked by the trees. Moving around a group of trees, he spotted her as he stopped. Watching her he waited for the rest of his pack before getting to close. He would send them around to see if anyone was following her. It wouldn’t have been the first time hunters had used bait to trap and kill some of his pack… But it would be the last.
Looking around as the others came up, he sent them back out with a glance. He had a feeling that this girl was just lost but he had to be sure. If the others found anyone they would signal him. As the sun set and the moon rose in the sky the continued silence from the others told him what he had hoped.
