Disclaimer: Who reads these things anyway?

A light mist settled in under a gray sky. It had been around three weeks since the wolf left Auro City, crossing mostly wastelands, and had so far not seen a single living creature save for the mouse she caught. She stretched her muscles and shook off the dew that had gathered on her coat, ready for another day of traveling. She had gotten used to the pace and no longer tired so easily, but she was still starving.

Stupid wasteland. I'm so hungry... haven't seen food in days. There's not even any decent grass to eat! This is all the stupid humans' fault, ruining the planet... maybe I'll find a city soon, and there'll be food there.

She complained to herself as she began walking. However, not too far from the other side of the wasteland, another wolf was also complaining about the food situation.

"Man, I'm starving... when do we eat?" A fluffy tan wolf wearing a collar complained as his stomach growled.

A younger, darker brown wolf wearing silver bracelets agreed. "We haven't had food in days..."

A gray wolf with an x-shaped scar on his chest glared at them. "Shut up. We're hungry too and you don't hear us complaining."

The tan wolf was about to make a comeback that would probably start a fight, but their leader, a majestic white wolf, interrupted him.

"There's a strange scent up ahead... I can just barely smell it..."

He took off running, causing the small pack to grumble about his impulsiveness and take off after him. They caught up, and suddenly the white wolf stopped as quickly as he had started. The four wolves could just make out a figure in the distance, although the misty fog made it a blurry shadow.

"What is it?" the youngest wolf asked, staring at the shape coming towards them.

"Stay back," the white wolf replied, "we don't know what it is, or if it's dangerous."

"Maybe it's something we can eat..." the tan wolf mumbled, earning another glare from the gray wolf.

As the shape drew closer, the wolves strained to see it. It didn't seem to be moving fast, only at a gentle, loping pace. As it got closer, the shape was more defined and they could see that it was an animal. The young wolf spoke again.

"It's not a human, so we're not in danger, right?"

"It's probably something we can eat! Let's go!" the tan wolf added as he took off running.

The rest of the pack followed at a slower pace, and as they got close, the tan wolf lunged at it. To their surprise, he overshot and landed in the dirt. He got to his feet, and all he saw was a light brown blur as the animal violently headbutted him back onto the ground. He felt teeth in his neck and as he opened his eyes, he was shocked to see another wolf.

Cliffhanger! Well, not by much... bet you can't guess who the wolf is. All Reviews Appreciated!!!
