"Scarborough Fair" -The Hound + The Fox

     A dark brown wolf sniffed the neck of Bonnie Fitzgerald as she lied on the forest floor, limp and freezing cold. The warrior wolf had found her first, and after recognizing her from the party the night before and the freshly bitten mark from his Alpha that was on her neck, it was clear he had found his lost Luna.

     The man wasted no time in mind linking the Beta, telling him his exact location and the state of the Luna. It took only five minutes for Sean to reach the higher-ranked warrior who had curled his large bonnie around the Luna. 

      The warrior, as he waited for his leaders, had kept himself in his wolf form. When in shifted form, they are able to use amplified senses. The warrior is not only able to hear the smallest of noises a mile off but he can send his body heat to the small Luna. 

      Marcus, after the warrior had told him the state of the Luna, told him to stay put for they weren't far off from his location. They had not long before started scouring the woods for Bonnie and were only a few minutes behind. 

      Sean was seen, making the warrior remove himself from the barely breathing Luna. He was in human form along with Marcus but Savannah was shifted with Nora riding on her back. They were well behind a sprinting Sean but when they saw Bonnie lying limp on the ground, the sibling sped up.

     The Alpha paid no attention to the warrior as he fell to his knees next to Bonnie, hovering his hands over her, not sure where to start first. He was breathing heavily as he placed his ear to her chest and wrapped an arm around her waist. 

     Easily, he was able to hear the slow thumping but wasn't satisfied with her state. Nora leaped off of Savannah and ran to Bonnie, landing on her knees just as Sean had but on the other side of her. Sean removed his head from her chest and Nora began to check what she could.

     Sean let out a rumbling animal-like growl from the sight of her bruising cheek. Nora saw the scratch on her shoulder along with the red and bruised mark from Sean on her neck. She moved on to feel around her body, checking for anything broken, and stopped at her ribs.

     When she lifted the large shirt, Sean grabbed her wrist with a snarl. As much as she wanted to, Nora held back a snarky remark and glare. Instead, she sent him a calm look, stating, "I need to look at 'er ribs. I think she landed on 'em and may have broken some."

     Instantly, he released her wrist and she went back to peeling up the shirt, just enough to look around her side. Nora, after lightly touching the bruised area, and flicked her eyes to Bonnie's feet. She sighed at the sight.

     "One shoe and tan ankle socks. This was definitely 'er dream but, my issue is that she never mentioned how beat up she looked. Somethin' must have happened," Nora stated, standing from the ground and rubbing her eyes tiredly.

     Sean rolled her eyes before beginning to pick up Bonnie in his arms bridal style, "Of course something happened! My question is whether you can figure out what the hell is going on or not?!"

     He started walking toward the cabin, avoiding looking down at the blood that was beginning to dry from a cut on her lip. Nora was heard scoffing behind, hands in the air before slapping back down at her sides.

     "Ya'll act like I got all the answers! I know as much as you do at this point, Sean...I won't know shit till she wakes up and tells us if she remembers anythin'. So stop treatin' me like an ass when I'm only trynna help!"

     Savannah leaned down enough for Nora to climb back atop her back. Nora told her to run back so she could set up what she needed to take care of Bonnie before she got there. With one nod from Marcus, Savannah did as she said. Taking off for the cabin.
