A howl rose into the silent air, rising and falling sharply. It cracked a little, giving a hint as to just how worried the wolf who had made it was. Andy jerked awake, her ears pricked. She blinked the sleep from her eyes, already fully awake; the urgency of the howl had seen to that. And the fact that she was already a light sleeper aided in her quick awakening.
Rising to her paws, she trotted on four paws to the source of the howl. She knew already that it had been Jefferson; his howl was pretty distinctive. As she made her way there, she shifted to her upright form, running on two legs the rest of the way.
When she reached the clearing, she noticed that the rest of the pack had gathered before the leaders, all looking rather worried and attentive. She stood next to Naniko, nodding once in greeting before turning her gaze to Jefferson and Geneva.
The news of the war had been a shock to Andy when she first learned of it; she had been so used to the peaceful ways of the Valley that word of a war nearby had been surprising. Now she just looked grimly on, her brow furrowed and a small frown marring her face.
When the one-eyed patriarch addressed her, she nodded, determination set on her face. “I will do the best I can, sir. “ She glanced around, trying to find Anya. Then she cast a sidelong glance at Ty, nodding to him.
The tawny female listened carefully to what the rest of the pack had to say, hanging on every word her pack mates said. She hoped none of these wolves were hurt in this silly war; she had grown very protective of each and every one of them. She knew she would do all she could to help keep them safe.
