The Wolf Pack

Save Him

Sandy •NightPack Deputy•

Me, Fire, And ScarFace had lost sight of the red she-wolf but we still had her scent. Her sent stopped abruptly on one side of a log but when I sniffed the other side it was still gone. We sniffed around the log but she seemed to have vanished. We trotted back to the sight where the battle had taken place, but I hadn't noticed how much ground we had covered. When we got back to the spot where the battle took place I sniffed the air and it was scented with the sharp, metallic smell of blood. I thought that it must have just been from the rouges but this blood didn't smell right. It smelled...... clean. Not like a rouges at all. This worried me and the pack members. We looked around and in the corner of the clearing, saw a mangled patch of black fur.

Shade.

"NO!" I growled

I ran towards the heap of fur and saw a pool of blood soaking the fur of his head.

"Fire go and get some moss now!" I ordered. She didn't hesitate. She was back in ten beats of a hummingbirds heart beat with her mouth full of green, spongey moss. I took it from her and pressed it against Shades neck wound. His eyes were glazed over but she could smell a pulse. It was very faint but it was still there!

When I had got most of the bleeding to stop we hoisted Shade over our backs and hobbled back into camp with him. As soon as Red saw him his eyes widened and he ran into his den.

As quick as lightning Red was by Shades side spreading herbs onto the spilt artery and tying moss on the wound with lengths if spider webbing. As Shade started grunting painfully In His sleep 5 curious heads poked them selves out of a den. I noticed them as Shades pups. I felt horrible for Silver as she also poked her head out of the den and gasped at her mates state. She rushed over and curled her body next to his and his painful grunts stopped and changed into peaceful sighs in his sleep.
