Hidden in the long grass

On their trip through the grass plains, Tove and Kotori happen upon a pack of hungry wild dogs. The mangy mutts are not ready to give up their hunting ground and neither are they. A great gray dog stalks forward toward the earthen male and Tove drops back, eyes turning to grass around them.

There is rustling on either side of the gray dog and the older wolf is ready for the dog’s companions. When they appear, Tove rushes to greet the tan hound, her taller body slamming hard into the smaller dog’s frame. With a snarl she strikes out, teeth sinking into its scruff and causing the dog to howl in pain.

It struggles and she plants a paw on its back, growling as she adjusts her grip to hold the dogs head behind its ears. With a savage, sharp jerk and twist, Tove breaks the dog’s neck. Dropping the dead animal, she quickly darts to where Kotori is circling a black dog and the tall dane-like dog, ready to take another one down.
