Chapter 1- Sparrow
As I bushed threw the bushes on a high mountain ledge I looked down upon a vast valley. The valley was mainly forest, with streams, waterfalls, lakes and occasional meadows. The land looked perfect for the pack to claim; although I had no clue as to if anyone had already set claim on it. But at that moment it didn’t really seem important to me. After long months of traveling through the mountain range my pack had finally found a place to live, at least I hoped.
A cold breeze began to blow, taking the golden leaves of the trees with it, making them dance in the air around me. I smiled then looked back at the wolves how had followed me to the ledge, my pack.
A large gray wolf walked up to me, his eyes showed the hunger he was trying to hide. I lifted my head up as he approached and when he was standing a few feet in front of me I calmly looked at him “Yes, Shinhan?”
“Sparrow, do you mind if we go hunt? I’m starving, and this place is loaded with prey… please?” He asked me.
I rolled my eyes. “Shinhan you’re always hungry… but yes I suppose we can all go and hunt.”
“Thanks!” He shouted over his shoulder as he took off down the mountain slope to the bright valley below.
The other pack members followed him, I let them go, knowing of their hunger. Once they were all out of sight I took a different path down the mountain side. Looking up at the hues of leaves, and listening to the crunching sound of them under my paws; but a cold breeze quickly blew again. It reminded me of the fast approaching winter, and of its future harshness.
I followed a deer path down to a small creek bed. After giving a quick glance around I walked carefully across the rocky shore to the water. Lowering my head, I took a drink of the water. Once my thirst was satisfied I walked back up the rocky shore. I lay down under a maple tree and rolled over onto my back to stare up at its golden crimson leaves.
“Yes…” I whispered to myself. “I believe this is where the pack belongs… this shall be our home.”
