His eyes flew open, revealing two golden orbs. Colton's gaze came to rest upon another person, a female, who stood against another tree only paces away. He was surprised to find a she wolf out at this time of night, and especially talking to him.
Shakira blinked in surprise, the voice was close, closer than she first thought.
Looking down from her perch she was shocked to find a girl perhaps slightly younger than her, sitting right below the tree she was in, on a tree stump.
Shakira considered dismissing the other female, she was probably just talking to herself or something, but her curiosity got the better of her and before she knew it Shakira walked gracefully across the branch, eager to get a closer look when a grey flash darted across her vision, colliding into the girl below.
'Kira looked more closely at the attacker, and noticed that in fact it was another wolf, though not any ordinary werewolf. This one was a real wild predator.
As the beast opened its jaws to snap at the females face her instincts took over and she quickly shifted, before leaping down to the ground.
An ear-splitting cry caused a stir in the undergrowth surrounding him, and he watched as a bird took to flight, releasing an alarm call into the air.
What the- Another cry cut him off, ringing through the trees like a dozen bells chiming all at once. He even imagined the ground shaking.
Clearly someone was in danger, a female in fact. The odd thing was however the sound seemed to come from the other side of a copse of bushes, in the direction in which the stubborn female had disappeared. Curiosity getting the better of him Cor dumped his doe behind a tree, where no one would be able to find it and charged in the direction of the noise, shifting into wolf form mid-stride. He could come back and get his catch later.
