Silver Creek stumbled into my history, lost myself on the way

Natashe had lowered herself fully to the ground by that point and had almost drulifted to sleep. The journey had worn her out. Her ears picked up the faint sound of pawsteps and that blasted scent grew stronger. Suddenly a female was in front of her. Natashe froze as the scent triggered memories and she heard the female's words " spring? No...look at you!" She gasped. She drank in the sight of her little sister and couldn't believe her luck. Relief surged through her very being. Spring was safe and obviously healthy. And could it be? Natashe studied the way spring held herself and the pride in her eyes " I was looking everywhere... I met a few loners but nobody knew of you. Then I smelled your scent and followed it here..I didn't realize it was you though" she rambled her muscles tense with excitement and joy. " Permission to cross?" She asked referring to the border.
