Chapter 1
Dusk was woken by the distant rumble of a stampede. He looked around the den – it was empty, so he stood up, stretched, and padded toward the cave entrance and looked over the hill that the den was on. He could see the stampede just disappearing behind a mountain and could see Ginger approaching the den from the bottom of the hill. "Did you catch any caribou?" asked Dusk. "Yeah, mom and dad are bringing it back now." She replied, as she said these words, Lily and Garth appeared and were pulling a small caribou behind them. "That isn't a very big one is it?" Dusk asked, "It was all we could get without being injured by that stampede!" replied Garth and looked quickly at Ginger who put her head down and slowly walked into the den. "So she caused the stampede then?" asked Dusk. "Well not exactly…" started Lily, "It was sort of Dawn's fault too." Dusk shuddered from thinking about Dawn – she annoyed him unbelievably.
Later on that day, after the caribou body had been completely eaten, Dusk, Ginger, Lily and Garth went to visit Humphrey, Kate and their children – Dawn and Kodi. They lived in a similar den to Garth and his family but it was right next to the Lake that was in the center of Jasper Park. "We barely ate today!" said Garth to Humphrey when they arrived "Us neither!" replied Humphrey. They walked away from the group and had a quiet chat. When they returned they announced that Dawn and Dusk would be hunting together tomorrow, and that they would have to do it alone. Dusk groaned, Lily shot an angry look at him and he quickly ended it with a discrete cough, and Dawn gave him a dirty look.
Dusk's POV
I was woken early by Garth who told me to hurry up and meet Dawn at the lake. Dawn isn't going to be happy with me after yesterday, I thought, so I decided to make sure I wasn't late by running the whole way there. Luckily she was only just coming out of her den as I arrived. "Ready to go?" I asked her, "Yup" she replied, so we set off, walking towards where the caribou had run off the previous day. As we were walking toward a large group of Caribou, we started to sneak toward them – being Omegas, we didn't exactly know how to hunt and kill animals bigger than rabbits, but we assumed it was similar. As we approached the group, Dawn suddenly yelped, causing all the caribou to scatter. "Why did you do that?" I shouted at her, "I think I have been shot" she said, a little drunkenly. "What do you mean?" I asked, and suddenly I felt pain in my left rear leg and I yelped suddenly and immediately began to feel dizzy. Soon I was lying next to Dawn and I hoped before I passed out that I would wake up soon.
I was woken by the feeling of cold on my snout, I opened my eyes slowly and didn't believe what I saw – A landscape that was completely covered in snow and it looked amazing. I turned my head and spotted Dawn just a meter away. I lied there for a moment noticing for the first time how pretty Dawn looked. I walked over to her and prodded her with my paw to wake her up, as she started to stir I stood back and waited for her to sit up, as she did so she looked around and her eyes went wide. "Where are we Dusk?" She asked, sounding quite anxious. "I'm not sure" I replied. I looked around again and said "We need to find something to eat, I'm starving." "Me too" Dawn Replied, sounding a little scared. And we set off downhill, hoping to find something we could eat.
