A cold nose nuzzled my cheek and I rolled over to see Kyla leaning over me. She gave a short bark and I growled, rolling back and curling into a ball. She prodded me again but I huffed and kicked her away. It was too early to get up. Then, the smell of deer wafted by my nose and my eyes shot open. Kyla and I ran to where the rest of the group was and dug in to the fresh kill. The chewy but satisfying meat went down my throat as my paws dug for more. Bruce nudge my hand with his head and I scooted over so he could fit in.

Belly full, I decided to wash off in the near by river. I left behind a trail of blood but continued to run. My paws tangled with my feet and I tripped before running the rest of the way. Bruce had followed me and stood by as a guard. The water was cold but I shook it off and watched silently as the blood flowed downstream.
The birds were chirping and the sun was shining. It would've been a beautiful day if they hadn't stopped chirping. It was quiet and I watched as Bruce's hackles rose. I loped over to and sat behind him, my head peering over his shoulder. Branches snapping drew my attention to where a...body emerged. There was a tool in his arms and he smelt of smoke. Gun smoke. The body had a gun.
Without thinking, I ran and pounced on the object crushing him with my weight. Growling at Bruce I told him to get the Kyla and Demtri. Whimpering at leaving me, he rushed off and I turned to face the body again. Orbs met mine except they were blue. The face showed terror as I slowly crawled off of it, circling and sniffing. I picked up on the smell of beer and chocolate. Others had been here enough that I recognized the smell.
"H-hey? I'm Finn."
My ears perked up at the body's voice.
