Chapter 6
Olivia smiled and yawned. Her head shook as we rested on the sweet grass as the stars gazed down upon us. The moon shone bright as a flashlight. I rested down upon her back, hearing her soft snoring. It felt like a little song as it sang with the other noises of the night. My eyes closed slowly as I rested for the night.
By the time morning came, the forest gave off little light from the sun. It was warming and calming, listening to the tweets of birds. I got up to my paws and shook my pelt from its bed fur. Olivia was still asleep, so I let her be. My stomach roared and the scents of prey filled where the herds grazed, free of hunters. "Where are you going?" I looked back and saw Olivia. She was back to normal and her hair was crazy. She rubbed her eyes as I smirked at her.
"What are you smiling about," she asked. I looked up at her hair, so she did the same. She glared at me and snorted. "I hate you so much. I'll ask again, where are you going?" I looked up upon the trail that lead to the valley. "Have fun, I'm going to go look around. I'll meet you here at noon."
I nodded and ran up to the valley. I slid to a stop, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. The light was right there before my eyes, talking about us. I could barely hear what they were talking about and what I could hear was not exactly comforting. They wanted to use us for something. "I need to tell Olivia and fast." I turned and raced down the path and shifting back to human form. I turned my head and kept running until I slammed into Olivia. I fell on to the path and looked at her.
"I am so glad I found you. We have big problems," I said rubbing my head as I got up.
"You're telling me."
"What's our other problem?"
She looked sick. "You first."
"Remember the Light?" She nodded. "They know about us."
"So do the ... what are they called?" She snapped her fingers and mumbled.
"What?"
"The Reach."
"You know that they're working, right?"
"Ah man, I need to watch episode 10."
"We can deal with that later. We're going to North."
"I don't think so." We spun around. Now we're really going to die and this isn't going to be easy to get out.
