Redhawk Caldera summer skeletons

The abruptness of his start startled her, but she recovered with a broad and sudden grin. Her fur settled from the whisk of his movement and, eyes alight, she leapt after Sebastian's retreat.

Somewhere ahead, Sebastian tore through the tangle of forest growth. Her tall ears piqued and turned to catch the sound of his run, her nostrils flared to catch his scent. He ran with impressive speed for a wolf his size. Her own paws ate the ground, until she caught the glimpse of him again - and with a sly grin and a twist of her legs, the Ostrega veered to the side.

Sebastian disappeared from sight, but his scent remained thick, and this guided her. Nimble paws carried her through ferns and brush, and trees fled in her periphery, until she caught the sound of his footfalls somewhere to her left. Andalusia turned her ear, kept her eyes ahead, and quickened her feet. Her smile still twisted her maw, and with a sudden leap, she broke the tangle with a short and wild howl, to cut Sebastian by surprise and route herself in front of him - unless he intercepted her first.

I do hope my ~ambiguous ending~ leaves this open for tag ;D
