Lake Rodney Where does a mind like yours wonder

The caw and swish of a bird pulled her back to reality. Her first thought was a wondering of if the creature would make a good meal, but after lifting her head she spotted the canine who lingered nearby.

Another young one, she was sure. There were a lot of those around here, weren't there? Though she supposed it made sense; old fragile bones never made for good wandering. Why they were here, alone, in the dead of night she wasn't so sure of however. When did wolves sleep anyways?

Her head leaning with a hope of finding a scent on the wind to tell her more, she said nothing just yet. She couldn't know if this one would be anything like the boy in the dunes.
