Mystery Girl

Chapter 1
''“Get out, mangy-mutts! Leave this pack at once, mongrels! And you too, longpaw! You shouldn’t have joined this pack in the first place! I don’t know how Beta could have let you in this pack, if you could call it one. I was foolish not to throw you out when I first came! Now, you mongrels, leave my sight!"''

 

Erin woke up with a jolt as Alpha’s words echoed through her mind. She stood quickly stood, shaking the words that had run through her head for what seemed like so long, and scanned the makeshift camp that she, Lucky, Arrow, and Storm had bedded down for the night in. The sun made the early morning dew sparkle, and Erin thought it was one of the most beautiful sights she had seen since leaving the Wild Dog Pack.

Lucky was standing a few paces away, keeping watch as the others slept. When he saw up, he padded slowly and quietly over to the blond-haired girl. “All quiet,” he whispered, “I guess we got far enough away from the Pack territory for his liking." Erin nodded, looking around. It was quiet, a little too quiet.

Then suddenly, a loud crashing noise made Storm and Arrow jump awake, snarling, ears folded back. And what came out of the brush made Erin tremble: a huge grizzly bear. spit flying from its humongous jaws, and red beady eyes gleaming.
