Swiftcurrent Creek The Hunter's Arrow Shines · Pack Hunt

Though Leaf was no hunter, she had taken her leader's suggestion seriously--something about a lack of gamekeepers in the pack--and had been focusing on tracking, hunting, and storing meat ever since. This focus intensified when she realized that the pack had a new litter that needed to be fed. So when she heard the call for the hunt, she was prompt in responding. She dropped her task at hand and left. Upon arrival, she was pleased to find a few familiar faces. She shuffled up to Star (Cottonball) and Shadow but soon left them momentarily as she attempted to greet her superiors. Both were of an immensely higher rank, and so she stooped low to the ground, rising only when proper respect had been paid. It had been a long time since the little red wolf had participated in a hunt, and she began to prepare her mind. It would be no good for her to create an impression by fact of her poor skills. She prayed for a fluke.
