I never thought I would see her again,? she took a step forward excitement for a moment overriding caution but something was gnawing at the back of her mind, ?Serani is a pretty name, do you think there has been another snow slide? Could she be trapped in the den, is it your den no one ever told me there where strangers nearby.? it was then a gust of wind blew the dames scent towards her once more and her mind sent out another warning, but what was the matter this girl knew where her sister was, 'so why doesn?t she bring her here?' her mind questioned, 'how does she know the wolf she found is your sister, you didn't tell her what she looked like, and why is there no scent on her coat.
