Love Will Take You Places

A new journey

I was sitting outside my den and I was looking around at the wolves. I needed to decide who would substitute for training Aurora. Who would push her and still let her have fun? I saw Branch and thought maybe he could. He was very good at hunting which is what Aurora needs the most help with and I know he loves to play a lot of games with the younger wolves. Ever since he accepted that Tree was gone he had started actually learning so much more. I think it was about time he trained an apprentice; even if it just for a little while. I stood up and stretched out my back. I started walking over to him. "Hey Branch, I have something I would like to ask," I mentioned to him. "What is it NightSky?" He looked up from the small squirrel he was eating. "Well, I am going on a small journey and I need someone to train Aurora while I'm gone," I saw his eyes light up quickly, "and I thought maybe you could use some training on how to handle an apprentice before you one day get your own. Plus I think you could be able to handle the training schedule I use on her." He seemed to be awestruck as he gapped at me. After a minute he spoke, "Does Moon know you chose me yet?" I shook my head, "I wanted to know if you're up for it before I asked her." He quickly nodded and blurted that he was. I smiled and stood up to tell Moon who I chose.

"Are you sure that you made up your mind?" Moon questioned. "Of course." "Well who did you choose and why?" "I chose Branch because I feel as if he is ready for an apprentice and I also feel that he would be able to keep up with the schedule I have set her on. Also he is a great hunter and that's mainly what she needs to work on," after explaining I watched her expression change as she thought about it. After a few minutes she nodded in agreement, "Alright that'll work, I'm guessing you've talked to him about this," I nodded, "alright well you can head out as soon as you'd like." "Well is tomorrow ok? I'd like to go before it gets too cold." "That's just fine!" I smiled at her and went to tell Branch that she approved.

I woke up and stretched with Paw right beside me. I looked over and smiled at her, "We're visiting home!" She smiled back and opened her mouth as if she was going to say something but closed her mouth quickly. I wrapped my tail around her and we started to tell Moon we're leaving. I stepped in front of her den and she was already half awake when she looked up at us. "We're ready to leave, we'll see you soon. Stay safe honey," Paw mumbled to her. "Alright," she glanced toward Storm, "Safe travels." "Thank you, We love you." I barked as me and Paw turned towards the entrance. "We're going home!" She howled as we got a few hundred feet from the caves.

We had been walking all day and I was starting to get hungry; I could tell Paw was too. I stopped and started to sniff around. By now we were far from the border so I want sure what prey was around here. I continued to sniff around until a smelt a small doe. I looked at Paw and she nodded. We went two separate ways to try and team up on it. She scared it towards me and I lunged out on top of it. I quickly but it's neck and killed it. Me and her both started to eat quickly so we could get farther before dark.
