Swiftcurrent Creek The Hunter's Arrow Shines · Pack Hunt

You guys get post #500!

Fox observed, settling into her position as a watchful leader. She was keen to see how Scimitar handled himself during this hunt as well as the others who had decided to attend. The yearling wanted to know who would step up, if anybody. Who would oppose the hunt's leader? Who would attempt to go off course? Every one of their actions would be scrutinized, whether or not they knew it.

As the groups filtered out and assumed their positions, Fox stood to watch them. Her eyes were particularly drawn to Scimitar and Razo, two of the most logical choices for her children. And yet... the way Scimitar and Bazi acted around one another made Fox question his loyalty and his apparent desire to lead alongside her. Was he courting Bazi? The thought made her heart turn cold, and Fox scowled at the thought of it.

Why would he lead her on if he only intended to take Bazi for his own. And if that happened, would they not just split off into their own thing? The thought left a sour taste in the girl's mouth, and she made a note to keep a close eye on those two. If even once she suspected them of leaving her as Jinx had done, they would be out on their own sooner than their own liking.
