Because Of You

Cana had been wandering around most of the day, no destination set in her mind, just going where her paws led her. Hop. Hop. Hop. The little wolfhound hopped around like a rabbit, going from one bush to another. After meeting that one wolf Bob she didn't run into another being besides the small critters Euro and caught, they weren't as fun, just ran away whenever she came near them. With a shake of her head the dog hopped again, landing on a decently large rock.

That's when it hit her. Eyes narrowed, nostrils flared. "Euro..." Her voice was soft, head slowly turning to the side and looking down at the feline that came up beside her. His brows came together, nose twitching as he sniffed at the air. "Easy girl, it's just blood." He told her calmly, looking at the dog a little confused. She definitely knew what blood was, and shouldn't have had that worried look on her face. It could have come from a fresh kill.

"Euro, Cana feel weird. Blood not just blood, there wolves close and one smells like Bob." She informed him, stepping down from her rock and taking a few small steps forward then stopping to look at the feline. "Cana go look, see if Bob share food with Cana and Euro." She said before moving on, the feline just shaking his head but quickly following behind her.

Within minutes of following the trail three figures came within sight a few yards away. Cana's tail start t wag, a large grin coming upon her face, closing the distance between her and them. As she got closer though one of them, a large wolf, took off. Cana stopped, head tilting to the side in curiosity, holding that pose a few seconds before turning to look at the other two wolves.

What she saw scared her. Dark eyes fell upon Bob laying on the ground, a wolf licking at his blood covered paw... no, where his paw used to be. Eyes went wide, bottom jaw dropping. Bob, her new friend just lay there, whimpering softly. Cana took a step back, tail going between her legs. Step, step, step, bump. Her head swung down to look at what she had bumped into her, and what she saw caused the hound to jump to the side with a whine.

Euro came jogging over, ears alert, his gaze falling onto Cana, wondering why she whined. "Cana, what's wrong?" He asked, his gaze following hers and falling upon the paw laying on the ground. He gulped.

"No, no!" She whined, suddenly dropping herself, picking up the paw gently in her jaws then turning and quickly bounded over to where Bob lay just as the other wolf ran off towards the trees. She dropped the paw near his leg, lowering her head and licking at his cheek. "Cana here Bob! Cana your friend, remember?" She spoke softly but quickly, panicked. She turned to the paw, using her own to bring it close. "Looky, Cana bring your paw. We put it back on then Bob be okay." With that she grabbed it gently in her jaws and pushed it against where it had been severed, moving it around, trying to get it to go back on.
