Larka was the first one up, but what she saw wasn't the frost laden trees and beautiful sparkling fresh snow. What she saw were wolves, coming over the big hill in where they took shelter in. the Great Pack had gained on them.
Larka barely had time to let out a warning howl to her parents before the Great Pack was surrounding them on all sides. Huttser and Kai were up in an instant, surrounding Larka and growling threateningly. Suddenly, a large black wolf came through the wolves. Huttser knew it was the alpha male, Fell. Fell was larger than most wolves, and much stronger.
"You gave us quite a run, Huttser," said Fell, "But we've finally tracked you down." Fell looked over the little family with a sort of admiring look in his eyes, but that vanished as quickly as it came.
"Now, if you want to live, you shall come with us, and join my pack," Fell growled, with a sort of threatening tone to it.
"Why should we?" snarled Huttser, "You've destroyed my pack, killed my cub, and now you're asking us to join your pack?"
Fell took joy in Huttser not wanting to join, for he knew very well how to make him. "Ah, but you will want to, for, i haven't killed your cub," growled Fell, "Yet."
This made Huttser shiver all over, and he could barely stand. He thought of the last time he had seen Skop, and how he had been protecting Larka and himself with the strength he had when he was taken. "Kai, what do you think?" Huttser growled softly. The wolves, in both packs, had grown unusually quiet, for they all wanted to hear Kai's answer. "We shall go with you, Fell, but our family will not be separated again. Once Skop has been with us for a couple days, and he is safe and unharmed, we shall join your pack." Kai growled.
"very well, for 2 days, you can talk to your cub, and after that, you two shall begin training, while Larka shall begin hers." Fell said, looking at Larka. Larka had tried not to shrink or flinch, but she couldn't under his gaze, and stepped back.
Since the day of the journey, Larka had grown. She was about 1 year old now. "I think Larka will be able to make he trip to our land, won't you Larka?" Fell growled, again looking at Larka with penetrating eyes. "Yes, i will." Larka growled confidently, not shrinking back under his gaze. "Then we shall go after a hunt." Fell barked, almost howling. After he said it, about a quarter of the wolves ran off, with about 5 wolves in each group.
