Firestone Hot Springs visions of blood and family

As Kisu walked toward the hot springs, mixed feelings from months before surfaced. He thought of the Alpha female he had run into--well, technically she "ran into" him and saved his life, but he didn't want to think on a time where he was completely vulnerable and pathetic. Kisu scoffed at the thought of it all.

He padded down the tilting woods, focusing on keeping his balance and the surroundings at the same time. Kisu had done well so far to stay away from wolves, turning away the moment he sensed their presence. Sighing, he reflected on his intense feelings that constantly flared up; he had been longing for some type of contact for almost a full season now.

Kisu froze as he noticed another wolf freezing at the same time; but the other wolf hadn't spotted him. Her dark goldenrod eyes shone, watchful and inquisitive at a geyser. A small smile appeared on his face. Lowering his body closer to the ground, he slowly moved forward and watched her, not wanting to draw attention to himself while he spied. Of course, that was impossible due to a twig snapping under one of his paws. Kisu cursed at himself while holding his breath.
