Chase's paws thundered the ground. Leaves and sticks crunching underneath his paws. He ran, his blue police cap flying off of his head. He looked back, the bear still chasing him. He leaped across a small ditch, landing in some slushy snow. He slippered a bit, but continued to run, until he reached a frozen river and he stopped. The ice would be too thin for him to walk over, and the bear came barreling on. He found some rocks, and carefully but quickly, walked across them, careful not to slip. As he got across he sprinted off again, the snow making him slip. He stopped by a tree, panting, and looked behind him. The bear was gone. He sighed, and sat down. Staring at the snow. "I hope Ryder and Skye are alright." He thought, "I left them alone, but the bear followed me. I should be fine." He looked at his hind leg and winced. There was a big bite mark on it, where he remembered it vividly. The bear cave out of nowhere when the pups tried to free the bunnies they saved from Farmer Yumi's, or really they saved the farm from the bunnies. The bunnies ended up trying to eat the carrots and the pups took them back to the forest where the bear came. It was a huge brown bear, with black bearing eyes. It had tried to attack Ryder, but Chase jumped in and scratched its nose with his claws, that he barely tries to show unless needed. It had bit him and he ran off, the bear chasing him. "I should probably call Ryder. He's probably worried about me." Chase was turning around when he saw something shiny in the snow. He limped over to it and used his paw to swipe the snow off of it. It was a collar. A collar with beautiful rainbow minerals on it. It's buckle was a heart shaped with a small white diamond on it. "Skye would look so pretty in this." He thought, thinking that he could propose to her. They were dating for almost two years now. He wagged his tail, grabbing the collar in his mouth. His whole body stopped, his eyes closed, he dropped the collar and collapsed, his whole body shaking. He opened his eyes and as he did, he saw flashbacks of things he never knew about. They were all in grey and the ground was white, which probably shows snow. He saw a pup, not much smaller than Skye, throw off his or her collar, and run into a cave with vines covering it. In another flashback he saw a wolf throwing a dog, by its collar, and the collar snapping. The wolf told the dog to follow him and they went into the same cave as the other. Chase blinked, he was lying in the cold snow the collar in front of him. He got up and rubbed the side of his head with a paw. "What was that?" He asked himself. "I should keep this collar in my pup pack for a good time." He threw it into his pup pack and barked into his pup tag. "Ryder, could you by chance come and get me? The bear is gone." He tried listening but everything was staticky. He sighed, "Please..." He heard a very staicky, "river." from Ryder, and started limping to the river. Behind him. Atleast 20 feet away from him was a cave. A cave of pitch darkness except for two beady red eyes, staring at the pup.

Once Chase was out of the trees and near the river, he sat and waited for Ryder. He heard his pup tag beeping and it said, "Chase? Where are you?" Chase looked confused, "I'm at the river, like you said to be at." Ryder replied "No I didn't, I never got a call from you." Chase barked, "Then someone told me to be here." He heard someone growl behind him, "I did..." he turned around and gasped. Before him, a wolf growled at him, baring its teeth. It was a wolf with dark grey fur and a light grey underbelly. He had brown eyes, his fur was very ragged, and he had a long muzzle. Chase stepped back, almost touching the frozen river. The wolf stood up, showing a small white diamond mark on his chest. "This is my territory. What do wish to be doing on it?" Chase studdered, "I-I was just r-running away from a bear." The wolf growled, "You lead a bear into my land!" Chase gulped, "Well, n-no j-j-just..." the wolf growled, Chase was sinking into a small ball. "Coward! Pets are so, what's the word mutt, oh yes! Idiotic! Didn't you see the four big caves." Chase shook his head. "Oh of course you didn't, you were too stupid trying to run away from a bear. What were you even doing? The bears should be hibernating by now." "I um-" The wolf growled, taking a step toward Chase. The wolf chuckled and sat down, "You'd think I'd attack you." Chase nodded slowly. The wolf smirked, "Well, your right." The wolf pounced at Chase, as Chase tried to run he slipped on the ice. The wolf jumped on the pup, biting his already hurt leg. Snow fell to the ground, as a snowstorm was blowing in. Chase yipped in pain and tried to bite at the wolf, but the wolf already grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the ice. Chase yowled in pain, trying to get up, the ice creaked beneath him. His blood dripped onto the ice. The wolf growled, and jumped at the pup again, biting his ear and ripping a small peice off. Chase growled, and bit the wolf's arm. The wolf growled, bit at Chase's collar and it fell on the ice. Chase growled, and the wolf bit his neck. The ice cracked into a million little pieces and Chase and the wolf fell into the freezing river. Chase tried to keep his head up above the water as he saw Ryder park close to the river, and Skye up ahead. The wolf bit his leg, and he lost concentration and he started to sink. The ice cold water covered his face, and he struggled to swim back up. The wolf climbed up onto his side of the river and ran off. Chase paddled up, but the current caught his wet fur. He got swept away to deeper water as he struggled to get up to take a breath. He tried to get up, but darkness surrounded him.

Thanks for reading! Since my other story A Pups Curse was confusing I'm redoing it, but in the mean time while we wait here's a story. I hope you like it! This has no relation to my other stories. See you with a new chapter soon!
