the wind at my heels
#2
Shadow not realizing it was early afternoon woke up to the smell of a dead animal. As his stomach turned he remembered that he hasn't eaten for what seemed like weeks but only a couple of days. running northeast to the sent of the dead Shadow finally had the ability to have some kind of food in his body, even if a little. Ripping piece by piece shadow kept on eating until he was ready to burst. Finally after walking for another couple of hours Shadow finally reached a small pond of water. As he crept up to see if any one or thing was drinking from the pond itself to find out it was clear of all animals. He rushed to it and started drinking until his heart was contempt.

Laying and watching the clouds go by, made him think about Star and how she was doing. Only a couple days ago he caught the sent of her. To find out her sent vanished with the previous rain this land has gotten. Another thought popped and he realized that if Star some how made it through the time of need, then possibly so could his older sister and brother. Thinking about that made shadow think on how life could have been if mom and dad didn't die between the wars that went on outside of any territory. To think that no pack had the guts to come and help any of them. Upon thinking of all this Shadow fell asleep enjoying the fresh smell of the air and the quietness of the land. Off to the distant though he could here small but yet heavy footsteps coming closer but before he could investigate he fell into a long awaited sleep. behind a couple of bushes where shade was provided and a breeze going by.
