WolfQuest: Prologue
Seth and Kate padded up the rocky mountain side. The gentle wind ruffled Kate’s tawny fur. Her brown eyes shined as she looked up at the moon. Thousands and thousands of stars speckled the dark sky. The wind made the trees sway slowly as hundreds of big, fluffy snowflakes drowsily fell to the ground. Seth quickly ran ahead of Kate. She looked up at Seth and hesitated when she saw him ahead, but made no noise other then her constant breathing and the crunching of rocks beneath her paws. She concentrated on Seth’s tail. It waved around as a light contrast. The grey of his fur was easily recognisable in the dark. The snow began steadily increasing in speed. Within five minutes, It was hard to see your own paws in front of your face. “This snow isn’t letting up...” Kate said, somewhat muffled. “We need to find some shelter!” Seth stated. Kate couldn’t see Seth. She could only see the faint shadows of the trees in front of her. She took a deep sniff, and sensed where Seth was. She quickly ran up to him. Her fur behind her ears ruffled. She couldn’t see him and accidentally bumped into his side. She felt relieved to feel the warmth of his body. She felt a twinge of annoyance from Seth but he showed no signs of it. Seth stopped. He raised his paw signalling for her to stop. She halted with her paw still raised with a step still not taken. “What?” She questioned. He raised his head and tasted the air. It was very hard to sense anything but he sensed a tunnel beneath roots of a huge oak. Seth gestured for Kate to follow. He began walking to the west of where they were facing. When the wind picked up, and howled in their ears, Kate whimpered and ran up beside Seth.
The tunnel was very difficult to see, but Seth sniffed oak and followed the scent to the roots. It was a two-way tunnel with entranced on both sides of the tree. Seth curled up on one side of the tunnel and Kate took her side. Seth and Kate both closed their eyes and slowly drifted into sleep.
