As she stood there, lost and afraid, a figure appeared in the distance. She could tell by its gait that it was a canine and a small one at that. Perhaps she had ended up in the right place just not back where she had started and it was one of her pack mates looking for her. She felt a surge of relief and her tail wagged slowly behind her as the canine approached. She took a step toward it only to recoil as the colors of the canine's pelt became a little clearer.
Holly froze in shock and pinned her ears back to her head. It was too late to run and hide. It was going to get her and she couldn't do anything about it. She backed away slowly, her eyes fixed on the coyote as it came nearer. She had made it back into the forest when Terra got close enough nudge her. What was with all the scary things and touching her? She was helpless to do anything but stand there, sinking lower to the ground as she was asked a question. Why did it want to know where she was from? Wasn't it just here to eat her up? Maybe it was asking so that it knew if it was safe to eat her. Deuce had told her that coyotes wern't allowed in the pack lands. If her pack was around they would drive her off.
Holly took in a deep, shaky breath and then let it out in a loud, high-pitched yip. She was calling for help and anyone within earshot would hear the tone of desperation in her cry. She hadn't been in the pack very long but she hoped that if they knew she was in trouble that would come running to her side. After her outburst she would regard the coyote with a fierce anger in her eyes. Her courage faded fast however and when she spoke it was full of the fear she felt. "'O..otees aren't a..allowed. Deuce t..told me." Her voice was barely above a whisper for all the conviction that had been on her face just a moment ago. She stood there trying to look as small as possible while she waited for something to happen.
