I didn't want any other encounters with other wolves, so I headed north, hoping to avoid Meadow pack

territory. But the sun was setiting quickly, and I would have to find a spot to rest.

"Hm... Maybe the den at aspen heights in available... " I thought aloud.

I moved swiftly, in search of any small mela along the way.

As I neared aspen heights, the sun got lower in the sky... Too low. Soon nightfall would come, and it

would get too dark to keep going. I have to move faster. I thought. Then I glanced at my wings.

Now that I'm out of the sunset pack, I might as well use my flight ability to get to that den! I thought.

So, I flapped my wings, started to get a running head start, and leapt into the air.

The nighttime breeze rustled my fur. I soon got high in the sky, and was flying over slough

creek. I flew as free as a bird, and never wanted that feeling to end.

But soon I spotted the den, and started lowering in the sky. Slowly, I decended, and landed on the

ground. My wings stopped flapping and folded against my sides.

"Ah, there's the den! But... Something's wrong... " I smiled, but my smile drained off of my face quickly.

I sniffed the air. It was now dark, so a fight would be fatal.

I walked around, sniffing, looking for any possible threat.

Suddenly, My blood seemed to freeze inside me. Right above me, stood a giant, angry, bear.

My tail hid between my legs, and I folded my ears back. The grizzly bear let out a loud growl,

showing that she owned this den.

I swiftly dodged a swipe of her claws, and lunged at her shoulder.

The bear flew into rage, spinning out of control, as I clung to her body.

I bit into her flesh, but was quickly thrown off of the bear, hitting a tree.

I lost my breath for a few seconds, but quickly got to my feet.

The battle continued, as the night went on. I didn't get any serious wounds, but at one point I nearly did.

The bear had pinned me to the ground, it's fangs about to bite into the chest. I breathed heavily and tried

to look away, but the bear held me tight. I struggled, but it was no use.

It looked like it was all going to end.

But then I heard voices. The bear growled in anger as a large group of wolves attacked the bear.
