Redhawk Caldera Suicide

The last thing Elwood expected to see as he woke from an afternoon nap was a flash of red, streaking across the terrain like a bullet shot from a gun. He blinked, immediately growing defensive as he gathered his wits about him. The fiery blur soon took the shape of a petite wolf, and briefly he wondered what the hell Fox was doing running like that after giving birth only a few days ago.

But he then realized it was Wildfire, just as she suddenly skidded to a halt and started to run in the other direction. This behavior was erratic and entirely unlike Wildfire's usual demeanor -- and his stomach sank as he thought of Peregrine's other daughter, Junior, and her untimely demise. Wildfire knew better than to cross into Redhawk territory uninvited, especially with her parents' new brood on the premises.

The Beta took to his feet and galloped after his niece, brow deeply furrowed as he bore down on her. She was moving quickly, but his long legs closed the gap. "Wildfire! Stop!" he called out, his voice commanding.
