So this time it took less long. Thanks for all clerks. I hope you really like the chapter.

Great. Now I was facing the next difficulty. I knew that wolves hunt in packs and are hunters. So much for the theory. But then again I had no idea about the practice. What certainly worked out for me was that I was a pretty persistent runner, as I found out when I arrived. But otherwise I could only hope that the others, who were certainly the experienced in this regard, would initiate me.

At the foot of the hill, Kiba stopped and turned into a human. "Okay folks, usually we two and two go hunting. But since there are five of us today, I would say I'll try my luck alone and Tsume and Toboe go out together. Aki, you'd best go with Hige. He's the one Most devoured and therefore also the best of us in procuring food. Whoever finds prey too big to be killed alone or in pairs calls the pack.So much for the plan. Any objections? "We all shook our heads, split up and headed out.

Kiba grinned to himself. Well, it was true that Hige was the best hunter of theirs. But he could just as easily have sent Toboe along with them. The two usually went hunting together and were a well-rehearsed team. Just like he and Tsume usually went out together because the two were simply already attuned to each other. Well, they should try their luck. He was curious how Aki would do.

I wasn't any less excited myself. But at the moment I was curious. I had thought that from now on we had to be as quiet as possible and not be allowed to be loud. But I was completely wrong about that. Hige ran happily through the woods with her nose held high. I followed him but was not sure whether we would still be able to eat today. Suddenly there was a rustling behind us.We turned around and ........ saw nothing but forest. But luckily we could both rely on our noses. And they clearly reported that there was prey back there. So we both drove around and sneaked up on us. I couldn't tell what was driving me because it wasn't Hige that I was following. It was kind of instinct. And the jade fever had seized me. It seemed to be the same for Hige. The happy and peaceful look that had always been in his eyes until now was gone. Now we both crept close to the ground, careful not to make a wrong sound. So we arrived at a clearing where a herd of moose cavorted. We were lucky that the wind didn't come from our direction and so they couldn't smell us. Every single muscle was tense to tear apart but we didn't move. I put one paw on to sneak a little closer to the prey. That was a fatal mistake. I came to a stone that rolled off and hit another.This was heard by a cow moose who did not graze but kept watch and she raised the alarm. Immediately the whole herd was on the move. Now we had no choice but to see that we still caught some animal. And all because of me. While we were still jumping away, Hige gave a short howl. I don't know what he wanted to do with it, but he did. In any case, we both sprinted. As I noticed, Hige had an older elk cow in his sights and wanted to separate her from the herd. I tried to help him as best I could but watched more. He kept going into the fleeing herd. After watching it a few times, I wanted to try it myself. However, that wasn't the best idea of ​​the day. I was so clumsy that I got a huge hind hoof thundered on my head and was put out of action for a while. Although I did not lose consciousness, I remained quite stunned.Suddenly Kiba, Tsume and Toboe shot past me. So that's what Hige wanted to do with his howl. I couldn't stand there stupidly, so I started walking again despite a headache. I soon caught up with the others. Somehow I also overstated how you had to move without being run over. I wasn't of the greatest help to them, but somehow the boys managed to kill the elk and started to eat. I wasn't really sure whether I should and could just join them now. First, I was at the bottom of the pack, as I had only just joined them. Besides, I wasn't exactly helpful. For the second time that day, I was a little indifferent. This time it was Toboe who helped by simply moving a bit and also leaving space for me. So I cheated between him and Hige. To be honest, I had no idea if I really wanted to eat the meat.But after watching the others like that, I got hungry too and just tore a chunk of meat from the carcass. It didn't even taste that bad. I forgot my booming skull and grabbed my hands like the boys. When everyone was full the vultures were already sitting in the trees to get their share. Now my head was reporting worse than before and I shook it to get rid of the pain. Mind you, a hopeless surprise. It must have been some time that while we were eating the sun had set. Kiba pointed towards the hill and started walking. We others followed. However, we did not make progress half as well as when we left. The reason was not that night fell. Wolves are nocturnal animals and our senses were even sharper in the dark than in light. At some point it had started to snow. We just didn't really notice it because we'd been so busy. But the light snow had turned into a real blizzard in which our noses and ears were no more helpful than our eyes.Nevertheless we somehow found our way out of the forest and saw behind the veil of snowstorms the hill where our cave and camp was. So it was necessary to get there somehow. The boys bowed their heads to avoid the sharp wind and I did the same to them.

Could it be that my perception was a little damaged? I had the feeling it was getting darker and darker. Until suddenly my knees gave way and I passed out. But since everyone walked on the slipstream of the other so as not to get the full pressure of the storm and the wind got louder and louder, it was Toboe, behind which Aki did not walk on that she suddenly fell over and remained lying. It was only when Kiba, who was the first to go and had to reorient himself, stopped, a lot of Hige, who turned around more by chance than intent, to which Aki was missing. He immediately jumped out of line and ran back. However, the footprints were already snowed in and or blown away. In any case, they could no longer be seen.His nose, which he could always rely on, was also useless. But something steered Hige through the blizzard and so he arrived at Aki shortly afterwards. She was still lying unconscious in the snow. And blood flowed from a wound on the forehead so that the snow around her turned red. Panic seized Hige. What should he do now!?! His first thought was to get her warm as soon as possible. But immediately afterwards he rejected the idea. If she had internal injuries and he was moving her now it would only have gotten worse. What should he do. Nothing better for him than first calling out the others and transforming himself into a person.

He knelt beside her in the snow and put her head on her lap. Then the others came first, Kiba. What he saw frightened him. But not the unconscious Aki or the blood. Certainly both were terrifying. But worst of all was the look in Hige's eyes. It was fear mixed with panic and worry about Aki.He had never seen such an expression on hige. Like Toboe, he was actually a rather cheerful guy. He really seemed to care a lot about her. But that didn't matter now. He transformed and knelt in the snow next to Hige. "Hige what happened where all the blood comes from", said Kiba as calmly as possible. "I have no idea. What are we doing?" replied Hige, but unlike Kiba, he seemed close to tears. "We have to see that we bring her into the cave otherwise she will freeze to death." Okay, Hige said much more composed and carefully picked Aki up so that her head was on his shoulder. He was lucky that Aki was tall but light for her age. Kiba ran ahead to tell Cheza to be smart. Tsume ran with him, Toboe stayed with Hige and Aki. Otherwise he would have got lost on top of everything else.

That was it. Sorry that it turned out a bit shorter. I can only hope that my maxi will not kill me now.Don't forget this is coming.
