(So I decided to write something from the top of my head... Let's see how this goes ) Info: So i'll use my main character that I love to use as a wolf. She is loving her loner life until she notices something strange...
Chapter one: The Pawprint
Mira shivered, Winter was finally about to end. Finally, the wolf thought. After the cold months, Spring was approaching. Mira didn't need to be in a pack to know that the wolves were rejoicing, she shook the frost off her pelt. Mira could scent a faint territory mark, I'd better leave if I want to save my energy and strength. Mira was trotting along the snow until she spotted a strange paw mark. "Weird..." She said. "Wait," Mira gasped suddenly realizing what the strange paw print was, "It's a diseased wolf! " One thing mothers always taught their pups was:
Always stay away from diseased animals.
Mira had to learn that herself. Sadly, she had to learn it from watching a diseased animal die. It was a horrible death. All animals were wary of that disease. It could spread like wildfire. Mira quickened her pace. Once she left the territory, Mira began to calm down... I should get far away, She told herself. The black and white wolf began a course in the opposite direction.
After a few miles, Mira began to feel uneasy. She saw more splayed paw marks. "What is this?" Mira could hear a wolf's yelp, "Run! Get out of here!"
Without having much time to think Mira felt fur brush past her. Her ears twitched at the horse breathing of a wolf nearby. That's too close! Mira silently panicked. Mira ran off in the direction the blur went. She became a black and white blur of fur as she ran. Hopefully her speed will make up for her decrease in strength and stamina.
Mira heard crying. The female wolf began to pant. She needed to rest. Mira slowly trotted away when she stumbled upon a black female wolf. She was crying her eyes out, repeatedly mumbling, "Brother... brother... the foam got him... brother... brother..." Mira slowly trotted away, "No don't go please..." the black female said, "Please don't go..." Mira sighed. She didn't talk much, it might've showed.
"Fine... I'll stay... But... what happened...?" Mira asked, she needed as much information about what was going on.
The black wolf whined, " A wolf with the foaming-mouth disease... He attacked me and my brother... See, we were going to catch up with our pack but... The wolf infected them all... We tried to run away but my brother was bitten... Fatally..."
"I'm... so sorry... To see your loved one die like that..." Mira spoke softly, "Did the diseased pack die instantly? I know this is bad,... but... the pack must've forgotten everything and only has one viewpoint... To spread the foam... if we are to survive this we need as much information as we can get..."
The black female sighed, "I suppose you're right... Last thing I saw was the pack darting in different directions. This disease might spread even more... I hope we survive."
"Let's go somewhere else... I feel odd here..." Mira said. The female nodded, "Yes let's go! Anyways my name is Ava, what's your's?"
"My name is Mira," The black and white wolf said, "If we find any other survivors we should ask them to join us. We should find an area far from the diseased wolves until things dies down. Even bears, birds, and cougars. The disease doesn't only affect us you know."
Ava agreed, "Let's head North, and head for some high ground. Hopefully the crazed animals won't be able to think clearly enough to climb to higher ground,"
Mira nodded, "Off we go then, Ava."
A silvery grey coat lurked in the forest, it overhead some pieces of the conversation. It couldn't make it all out. It's yellow eyes looked in all directions. It could rely on it's sense of smell then...
The end of Chapter one: The Pawprint
Tell me what you think of my story! I was kinda disappointed in how it ended but it's only the first chapter... Anyways thanks for reading!
Edit: Let me know if you would like me to write Chapter 2! This was fun to write. But I realized I wrote a lot for chapter 1...
