Phoenix Maplewood The Reunion

The young black wolf was tired,hungry,and emotionally drained from her long trek.How long had it been since FireFang's territory had been destroyed? Two months? Three? QuickPaw couldn't remember.She knew her mother was dead,along with her father and siblings,but she was following a different scent.She had detected it several days after the fire destroyed her home,and she was determined to follow it wherever it lead.It was the scent of Fire- her aunt,and her alpha.

QuickPaw came to a pack's borderline.It was obvious Fire was here,but she wasn't the alpha.QuickPaw was slightly disappointed,as Fire had been her hero when she was a regal,respected alpha.QuickPaw shook the disappointment away and stepped into the territory.She walked quickly,following Fire's scent.The realization suddenly hit her that there were quite a few wolves here,and they may not take kindly to intruders.QuickPaw put her ears and tail down and tried to look as submissive as she could.Then she saw her.Forgetting all attepts to be quite and unnoticable,QuickPaw howled loudly in joy.
