                                         --Running Deep--
                -------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Chapter one~

It was a hot summer's day and the sky was clear with the sun shining brightly over head,the wind was like fire lashing at the trees and the grass.The sand on the shore line was just as bad,feeling like you where walking on sharp burning rocks.
A brown thin figure walks on all-fours along the shore standing out among the colours of pale yellow and blue-green,a wolf.As she drags her paws along from exhaustion she leaves a trail of small red spots,it was clearly easy to see that she was badly wounded on her sides and neck,there where some cuts on the rest of her body but not as deep.Her breathing was loud and sounded like every breath was more painful then the last with small whines escaping her.She stops for a second, and with a flick of her ears and a tilt of her head in the direction of the water she slowly drags her self into the salty water,baring her teeth in pain and whining loudly.
"At least this will help them heal faster if memory serves me right,the faster it heals the better!!.."She thinks to herself cheerfully,trying to make herself feel better while at the same time her eyes had a look that seemed to be in the past.
The water was crashing against her sides,making her brown long spiked fur stick more closely to her skin,revealing her rib cage that suggested she had eaten poorly for quite some time.
With a deep and long sigh she walks stiffly out of the water,shaking some of the salt water off while leaving the rest on her to keep her body temperature down,dying from heat exhaustion was the last thing on her to do list.
Slowly she makes her way from the sand into lush green forest that had large trees with branches that seemed to entangle each other,she stepped into unknown territory,she goes in search of some kind of easy prey to catch,in her state she wouldn't last much longer without food to keep her strength up.The bleeding had slowed a bit since her dip in the water,giving the wolf some confidence and peace at mind that she was going to live the night instead of being drained of all her blood or worse..hunted down by something else that would get attracted by the scent of her blood.
Walking along in the shade of the tall trees,she tries to be as quiet as possible to not alert anything of her presence.A rustling noise comes from a big lush green overgrown patch of grass.Instinctively she walks slower to get in attacking range before dashing out for the kill,unfortunately the wind was not blowing in the right direction for her to smell what it is and the grass was too thick for her to see through  but what ever it was she'll just have to take the risk,attack first ask questions later was one of her motto's,She twitches and licks her muzzle in excitement,it had been awhile since she felt the fullness of food in her stomach and to her this would be a good sign.
Suddenly she jumps out with her mouth open wide-teeth in full view,her nails at the ready,and using every last bit of energy to take it down, jumping into the patch squinting her eyes to protect them from the grass that was coming at her and sinking her canines into the fur on the back of the neck of the animal,as she does so the scent of the animal became oddly familiar."Wait..this cant be.."She thinks to herself as the animal lets out loud yelps and struggles to get free,slashing wildly with its back claws.One hit manages to get her in the side opening the cut again and with a loud yelp she jumps back with her eyes flinging wide open to see what she is facing.
A loud gasp escapes her lips as the figure in front of her was not prey but another wolf!
"Great job you idiot!now you've done it!"She thinks to herself.
