We Bearly Found You

The two wolves had just stepped away from the Bifrost and headed towards the berry grove.  They had chosen to meet up with Manea and join up with her band of wolves.  They would have done it sooner but they had sort of gotten lost.  Who knew the swamp area could be so hazardous?  It felt like they had been stuck there forever.  Still, they had somehow made it out alive and would likely never step paw in the place again.

Since then things had gone much smoother but they were still late.  Hopefully, this was the path to take to find Manea’s band.  Hopefully, they were still invited.  What if they weren’t wanted now?  Chade was fairly confident at this point that Ry and himself would make it alone if necessary.  However, it would continue to be one day at a time.  Too many failed hunts, or if Chade got injured, or any other unknown could cause them to die before even reaching adulthood.

Chade’s hunting had improved but the prey animals were strong and healthy once more.  It felt like Chade never got quite enough meat to build up his own muscles enough to easily take down the stronger prey by himself.  Luck wasn’t going to be on his side forever.

“Sure wish we knew if they were safe,” there were berries all over this place. Chade almost made another comment to Ricin when a deep ‘huff huff huff’ sound could be heard, and heavy paws stomping across the ground.  The bear had apparently been behind some other brush and it didn’t like the pup’s company.  

The bear roared and charged deciding to apparently not waste time.  Chade made sure to be in front of his brother, “Ry we gotta,” ‘run’ was the unsaid word.  Chade attempted to bite the charging bear to keep it away from his brother.  The bear’s large paw slapped Chade so that he was thrown on the ground and kept going towards Ricin.  The dark blue gangly pup hollered, “Ry, run!” Chade wasn’t overly hurt so much as that’d be a good bruise but there was a moment of disorientation as his brain sorted out up from down.
