Word Count → 324 :: Sorry for the wait 
Just when Keldava was managing to settle down again, if not to sleep at least to get a little rest, something came crashing into the clearing, an unfamiliar canine smell that had Keldava first bolt upwards, and then recoil away, dropping back down and curling up into a protective ball, whimpering in fear as her mind began to convince her the one who had interrupted her was Amy come to finish what she had started. The movements did a good job of finishing the earlier started job of tearing her back open again but Keldava didn’t even notice as the pain in her back increased and even more fresh blood-scent filled the air, too taken up with terror at the unexpected intrusion.
It was the pup-scent which brought her back. Everything else was just a big, confusing jumble of sounds ands scents which her brain, still addled from sleep and her earlier nightmare, couldn’t make sense of but the pup-scent was strong and familiar – Keldava had been smelling it a lot recently on Mahnaya – and it cut through the fog, yanking her to her senses.
The female who had awoken her wasn’t Mahnaya but the scent was unmistakably Arte and that calmed Keldava down somewhat. Slowly she uncurled from her ball, dark eyes looking up suspiciously at the figure. What she saw calmed her down even further; a female slightly smaller than herself, coloured a soft brown and with a kind looking face, though that face was looking rather wary at the moment.
The question put a familiar pang of fear into Keldava as she remembered Amy’s warning not to tell anyone but she forced past it; she had told Skye and nothing had happened, Amy held no power over her as long as she was inside the pack lands. ”A loner, a trader, Amy she called herself.” She said in a quiet, fragile voice far unlike the boisterous tone she normally took.
