Heron Lake Plateau Somewhere sunshine burns

Indra wasn't keen to leave Gun behind anywhere, but when she noticed Sadey crossing out of their little vacation home at a strange hour she decided in that split-second to follow her. Seemed right at the time, though the farther they got from the isle the less certain Indra felt.
Especially when there came weird smells which activated Indra's freeze-response; but when strange faces began to appear among the shadows, that shifted swiftly to fight. Her fur bristled; she sidled up behind Sadey without a word, flanking her protectively as if she were Gun and they were both still on the road — habits which had kept Indra alive thus far.
It felt like they were entering a cage match. Indra didn't know if the wolves she spied were the threat, or something worse. In her mind she saw a bear, and it had one glowing golden eye.
