Angie was just searching around the forest for a way out. She was out earlier with her big sister gathering fruits for their parents when she got distracted by a butterfly. When it flew away she found herself in the middle of nowhere. After some searching she found herself trapped by a Beta Wolf, nearly being an Alpha Wolf.
She closed her eyes and screamed.
"Help me!"
As the Beta Wolf closed in for the kill a blur shot out if the bushes and tackled the wolf on its side. Angie opened her eyes as she heard the scuffle and saw a strange bug creature with its back to her as it hissed threateningly at the wolf.
The wolf growled back in defiance as its kill was denied by the strange creature. Suddenly another one if the creatures jumped onto the wolf's back as it dug its claws and back appendages into the wolf's vulnerable neck. The wolf let out a howl as it thrashed around and threw the bug dog off itself and swiped at it across the face.
The swipe connected, and a piece of its face armor was torn off as it was knocked backwards. As the Beta Wolf moved in to finish the fight, the one guarding Angie saw its chance and struck with a bite across the damaged neck. The wolf tried to howl again but all that came out was a watery sound as the wolf's throat clogged up with its lifeblood.
It slowed its thrashing as it died and suddenly stopped, its eyes staring at nothing. The damaged bug dog inspected the Beta Wolf as the one that killed it got close to Angie. She closed her eyes in fear waiting for the pain. She felt a snort of air on her face.
She opened her eyes only to close them again with a squeak of shock as the dog's muzzle was close to her face. Angie felt a nuzzle against her check and slowly opened her eyes to see the blood stained one pressing against her as the one with the face scar laid in its belly next to her watching her.
Angie nervously reached out and pet the one with the face scar and did so more vigorously when the weird dog's eyes closed, relaxed as its tail swisher in pleasure. She giggled as the bloodstained one began to beg for the same attention as the first leading Angie to pet both of them.
"You're not so bad, right?" Angie asked as the two dogs seemed placated.
"Angie! Where are you! Angie!" Voices frantically called out as they edged closer. The two bug dogs got up instantly and shot into the bushes, hiding from sight as a small party of humans entered the clearing.
"Angie! There you are," said a short haired blond girl of 17 said as she ran to pick up Angie, "You're covered in blood! What happened?"
"Big sister Chloe! I got lost, then there was a Wildling, then I got saved by some dogs!" She said excitedly as she punctuated her quick answers with her arms waving about.
"You were attacked!? Are you okay?" Chloe asked frantically as she inspected her sister for any injuries.
"I said some dogs helped me. I'm fine, big sister."
"Well that's a relief. Let's go home," said one of the men inspecting the dead Beta Wolf.
"Wait!" Angie said as she got out her sister's grip. "I wanna take the dogs home and show mom and dad. They did help me."
The group looked uneasy about bringing stray animals back with them. For all they knew, they could be inviting trouble. Chloe decided to take action for them.
"We can take a look at them Angie, but we'll only take them home if they aren't too dangerous, okay?"
"Okay," Angie said as she ran to the bushes calling out for the dogs. "Come out doggies, it fine! It's just my sister and a few friendly people!"
