Step Lightly

Hansel was ready to pull away when he heard a rumble in the cautious dames chest. But before he could react, he felt her nose in his fur. The two strangers comforted each other, something he so badly needed now that his sister had disappeared. The waves crashed against the rocks, tide rising higher as it sprinkled his pelt with drops of salt water. She pulled away, his chest bumped hers, so he backed off a few paces to give her space. At least she didn't try to chew his head off, he just wanted to reassure her that she wasn't alone in the way she felt. He himself, felt embarrassed. He had never shown his feelings to another other then his sister..but without her presence now, he didn't want to feel alone. Perhaps this would form a bridge to a new friendship, even if both wolves were reluctant or afraid to. He gave her a small smile, then his fur stiffened as the breeze rolled in again.
His body tightened as the wind brought forth the scent again.
This time, he knew...it drew closer, the unseen predator that separated him and his sister. He knew it was dangerous, a force that was more dangerous then any wolf he had ever known. The stench intruded into his nostrils, impaling him with fear. He had never fought something so vicious before in his life, and last time he tried, he lost. Waves of fear rolled off of him like the ocean. His heart pounded, and his eyes widened with the threats that surrounded him. His head whipped back, his eyes darted in all directions as he tried to see where his enemy was. But his enemy remained unseen, though the stench grew stronger. Without looking back at Yin, he uttered a single whisper:
Run
