DawnHeart:

Date: August 10, 2020.

On that faithful day, I had organized a hunting patrol consisting of me, Aurora, AshClaw, YarrowHeart, BlackFang, NightTuft, PatchFur, VixenPounce, Spider, Rosemary, Blizzard, and Primrose. Our goal was to try and look for a deer, hunt it down, and bring it back to the Division in order to keep everyone full until we could find more smaller pieces of prey around the forest. "Are we all ready?" I asked just as we were about to head out.

NightTuft: "We're ready when you are, DawnHeart."

DawnHeart: "Well then, let's do this."

And then we we were off, unaware of what we were about to get ourselves into that day.

"There's a buck right there." Spider whispered. We all crouched down as we set our eyes on what had to be the biggest black tailed buck I have ever seen in my entire. I had seen bigger anmals, but this one was probably bigger than any of us. "Oh my God, that buck is huge!" VixenPounce quietly exclaimed as she still kept her eyes on the buck as it grazed. "Yeah, I agree." Aurora replied.

DawnHeart: "Here's the plan: AshClaw, Spider, BlackFang and Rosemary, you go left; NightTuft, Blizzard, VixenPounce and Primrose, you go left. And PatchFur and YarrowHeart, you're both with me. Once we jump out from where we right now, we'll begin the chase and once either the left or right side get close enough to the buck's neck, deliver the killing blow by biting its neck and afterward, we will bring one the buck from there. Okay?"

Rosemary: "All right, let's get this hunt started."

And every went to their spots and once we did, Aurora, PatchFur and I jumped out and scared the buck and we began the hunt from there, catching up wiith the buck as it try to run away from us to find somewhere where it would be safe from our claws and teeth. Oh, but today isn't your lucky day, buddy. I told myself as I ran. "Be sure to keep up with the buck and do your best not to stop!" I told everyone. Soon enough though, Blizzard delivered the killing blow, killing it. "Well done, Blizzard!" Aurora said once we all stopped when the deer had been killed. Blizzard looked at us and then looked at the deer and said: "Well, I know a few animals or two back at home who are going to eat and sleep well tonight."

DawnHeart: "I can say the same thing here and good job with killing your first ever deer. Now then, let's take this deer back to the Division and feed some hungry animals."

"Not if we have anything to do about it!" A voice called out. Then we saw a bunch of rogues jump and attack a few of us  an dwe saw a familiar face come out last which turned out to be Chief CrookedSoul, go figure. "Sorry to bother all of you on such short notice," Chief CfrookedSoul said, "but I think you all have something that belongs to me."

Commander Aurora: "You best back off, Chief CrookedSoul! I know exactly who you're looking for but they're not going with you at any given time! Not while we're still around, that is!"

Chief CrookedSoul: "Is that so?"

Commander Aurora: "Yes, yes it is. Now all of you get lost before we chase you out ourselves!"

Chief CrookedSoul: "We're not moving an inch until you hand over that wolf right there."

DawnHeart: "We're not handing over anything! Leave. Now!"

Chief CrookedSoul: "All right, then. You don't want to hand over the wolf? Then so be it."

And from there, a fight had broken broke out.
