More then we bargained for

Seraphine had been making her way along the crumbling rocks towards the stream. Thoughts of fishing on her mind when another Elysium wolf paused at the border. Kichi, she believed his name to be. He stopped, looking as if he had forgotten something, and then turned to her. She blinked at him, almost surprised to be seen. She felt like she had spent the majority of her life fading into the woodwork.

His words, when spoken were short and to the point. He wanted a hunting partner. “sure” the scaled woman said, giving a short nod in agreement. Together, they could bring down something bigger than a fish or two.

She followed him out of the pack lands and across to firefly lake. The lake was an attraction to deer, and often brought the stub-tailed creatures to its shore. She wasn’t much for speech, and it seemed her companion was the same. It left a comfortable silence between them as they hit the lake, and began to track for their prey. With Autumn in the air, the day was chillingly cold. She could almost taste the frost on her tongue. Was that snow in the air? She could only hope they got their prey back to pack lands before it fell.

As they found the right scent for deer, the fur at the back of her neck stood on end. The feeling of something watching them overcoming her. Could it be? Had her self-proclaimed father finally found her?
