Chapter 2

Everyone was standing in shock. Several seconds went by before Dusk went up to her sister.

"Luna, What are you talking about?" Dusk asked in a soft but still shocked voice.

It was a few seconds before Luna answered. " I don't know. I was just walking through the forest because I picked up the scent of a squirrel, when all of a sudden I smelled blood. I could tell the scent was a little old. So I followed it and I saw something lying on the ground. At first I thought it was a deer, cause some of it was eaten but when I had a closer look I saw.... I saw....". Luna couldn't speak anymore. She was crying so hard she could barely breath. Dusk had to south her down a few moments.

"Will you please show us? You don't have to tell us what you saw could you just lead us there?" Dusk asked.

Luna thought for a few seconds, before giving everyone a brief nod. Luna started trotting away from everyone. The rest followed, keeping a good distance behind her so no one would accidentally walk ahead. Luna wasn't very fast though fast enough for a wolf with three legs.

Lone has known Luna and Dusk for as long as she can remember. There only a month older so they all got along real well. Lone remembered when Luna lost her leg. All she could remember was that she snuck out of the dens one day and thought she could go "hunting". let alone knowing that she would accidentally walk right in front of a herd of wild mustangs. She was small enough at the time to be easily dodged by the horses hooves, though her back-right leg was stepped on. Lone also remembered how the leg looked when she was found and returned to the dens, it dangled like a loose branch, and was half off her body. The healer of the pack had no choice but too amputate it since the bone was too broken. Ever since then Lone would always wait up for Luna, even though she said she didn't need it.

Her thoughts were disturbed when Lone caught a strong scent of blood. 'We must be close' Lone thought to herself. Though the scent wasn't like prey blood scent it was... familiar, different but still familiar.

Lone had suddenly heard a scream. It was Mira. Thorn came rushing up to her and the rest followed. They were close to the edge of the territory. Lone saw the rest of her group had dodged under a fallen tree and she had followed.

Everyone stopped.

Staring at horror at the half eaten carcass. Now everyone knew what Luna was talking about.

It was a wolf, from her pack. The body layer limp on the ground. Blood staining the grass. Luna stood in horror, while a tear ran from Mira's face. Thorn tried to comfort her, while Fang growled at who had killed this wolf. Lone took a closer look at the body and realized it was Fang's mom. Fang flopped over on his moms dead body. Scarlet was staining his fur, but he didn't care. He just wanted revenge for his Mom's death.

Several silent minutes went by. thorn finally broke the quietness when he asked " Should I go tell the pack of what has happened? They would probably want to here about this."

" You probably should", Lone replied "they have to find out sooner or later".

"But what about the prey?" Dusk asks.

Fang turned around and snarled at his mate yelling " How could you think about food at a time like this?!".

" I'll grab the prey we caught on our way back," Thorn suggests " I'll be back shortly, the rest of you stay here and wait".

Then he went charging off into the forest, with his black fur tail disappearing behind him. Sadly enough there had been more deaths just in the last month in her pack. No one knows on who had killed them or if it's just a matter of accidents happening. Lone knew in the back of her head that this was murder, someone had did this to her but who?

Lone was thinking to herself ' I will get revenge on who is hurting my pack. I will!'.
