The Smell of a Burnt Leaf

Yes, Welcome. Just jump right in anytimeSmile

Ever lifted her slender muzzle into the air and sniffed. The smell came faint but recent. Her eyes clouded with worry but cleared as soon as it came. She looked over at Domonick who seemed to have scented the strange wolf but didn't seem to take any immediate action. His reaction cooled her thoughts as she settled back down near the fire.


The female looked up as the man spoke once more about the weather. She looked at the sky, grey orbs blending into the gathering storm clouds. Then she heard the crack of a twig. Lightly shaken, she repeated to herself it was only the sparks. But Ever knew better. Glancing at the fire, she said "Something’s out there." It was boldly stated, clearly an alarm.


Ever brushed off the remark about the storm and rose swiftly to her paws. They crunched the dried leaves and bracken on the forest floor. She didn't mean to alarm Domonick but she knew he felt it too. The feeling of being analyzed. Smoke dwindled above the tree tops. A sure sign there was someone in the forest. The female knew they had been spotted. So what was the predator waiting for? She licked her muzzle and gazed into the gathering dusk.
