Welcomed into The Pack

Chapter 3

When I woke up, I felt someone next to me. I thought I was dreaming, but when I realized that I was awake I looked at who was next to me. It was that same white wolf, I sighed quietly. Geez....can't he leave me alone. I stood up and stretched quietly, so I didn't wake up the wolf. I inched my way toward the entrance of the cave, and looked back and saw that the white wolf was actually sleeping this time. I smelled that he was hungry like me, so I decided to go hunting for him. As I walked out of the cave, I took in a deep breath of the forest.

Then I took off and went hunting. When I was about a hundred meters from the cave I smelled some rabbits, and decided to sniff them out. Then I found the two rabbits that I had smelled, and quickly killed them. I quickly carried them back to the cave, and put them down. I looked up and saw that the white wolf was still asleep, I sighed happily. Then I took one rabbit and carried it out of the cave, and I walked toward a tree that had some nice shade.

I laid down and started eating the rabbit, chewing the soft juicy rabbit meat. I gobbed down all of the meat within meer seconds. I stood up and started to dig, when I had a big enough hole, I put the rabbit bones into them. Then I covered the bones with the dirt I had dug up. I suddenly sat down again, and began to think what I'll do now.

What? What will I do now? What if I left here without that white wolf smelling my scent? He couldn't follow me then, right? I wonder how Caleb is, wonder what happened to him? And his brother? I also wonder about the rest of my pack, how are they? I wish I knew. Maybe I could go see them. No....that totally wouldn't work. My uncle's friends would kill me, and my friends wouldn't be able to do anything to. I'll just leave, I know that I bring trouble for everyone one that I love. I brought trouble to my parents, and my little siblings too. And the pack, I've brought trouble for everyone. And that's what I hate about myself, that all I bring is trouble.

"I'm worthless..." I murmured to myself.

Then I stood up, and I knew what I had to do. I had to live by myself, so I couldn't bring anyone trouble. I started to walk away from the cave I knew so well when I was younger, I turned my head to face the cave. I sighed softly, as if I couldn't bear to leave. I knew that I would really miss this place. I would miss the huge old oak outside the cave, with the shade that could swallow you in darkness.

And that little moss bed I made when I was younger too, and that moss was still soft as my mother's fur. But it was also warm like my father in a way too. And that little prey pile me and my father made when I was younger too. Made out of thistles, so my prey would feel comfort in death. At least that's what my father told me, and I still believe him to this day. Then I turned my head toward the front, and I started walking again. What seemed like hours were only minutes.

When I turned around to look back at the cave with the tree, they both were gone. I looked around and realized that I was really totally lost. I sat down quietly, and started to think. This...this has never happened to me. Oh well, it was soon to happen. I must be out of my old pack's territory, that must be way I've never seen this place. But I scarcely remember this place, oh now I remember.

My father used to bring my here, this place used to be where humans lived. I saw a couple buildings in front of me, one was small while the other was huge. And the other two were way smaller than the small building, they must have been homes for the humans. I started to walk toward the small building, and then I heard a splash in front of me. I looked around and didn't see anyone, then I started to smell anything. Couldn't smell anyone either, then it must be me then.

I looked down and saw a small pool of dirty water in front of me. Eww...... the water was disgusting, it had a dark brown color to it. No water color I've seen, but then I decided to roll over in it. So that white wolf won't ever to find me, and  that would be a good thing. When I was finish rolling in it, I shook my fur gently.

I didn't want my scent to be caught be that wolf, so I kept my fur smelling like death. I started to walk in the direction of the building again, and when I got to the entrance.....it looked like it was going to fall apart soon. I knew I might be trapped here, so I might have to go hunt soon. So I stepped through the doorway, and into an unappealing darkness.

When I awoke the next morning, I didn't feel the warmth I had yesterday when I woke up. I looked around and I didn't see any pieces of white fur. Good, no sign of that wolf. I got up and shook my fur, this time I didn't care if my scent stayed here. This would be my home for a while, and I would be safe. Well, that's what I thought anyway.
