The Wolf and the Fox

Chapter Two *Red*

I stormed off and sat down near the pond.

Why is Scratch so unfair? Just because Stripe was around when Willow died doesn't mean he can hurt her!

I closed my eyes at the thought. I have to look for Stripe! I sniffed the air and her scent lingered where the forest was.

She knows she isn't supposed to be in there! I crept into the forest and tried to track Stripe but her scent was covered with ferns.

Great! I lost her! I smelt the familiar scent of squirrel and spotted it. It was feasting on a hazel nut.

I stalked towards it and was about to pounce but it sniffed and ran off. No way! There is no way I'm letting this one get away!

I ran after it and it went up a hollow tree. I lost it! I looked around and backed away, confused. This isn't the territory I remember!

My head was spinning and I needed to lay down. I found my way towards a willow tree. I laid down in a nest of leaves and slept.

I woke up and I felt hungry. Wait, where am I? I looked around. Right. I was looking for Stripe.

I walked towards a puddle of water and swallowed some. After I was quenched I hunted a squirrel.

I ate my squirrel in silence and the forest seemed to be joining me.

I ate the rest of my meal and started to call for Stripe.

"Stripe!" I kept calling but got no answer.

What if something bad had happened to her? Oh no! What do I do now? I was pacing back and forth.

Okay let's try and look for Stripe instead if worrying! I scolded myself.

I walked towards a river and all there was, was only prey. Next was a muddy pond with nothing there and then there was the forest to look for her.

I can't go in the forest! There are wild cats in there, but then Stripe would be in trouble!

I made up my mind. I'm going to go to the forest and help my sister.
