Chapter 1
~Reyn~

"The human. Jacob. He's gone."

The words still rang in Reyns ears. She couldnt pick up his scent very well- her nose, though exceptional, was not as good as a normal dogs. They- and by they, Reyn meant herself, Trixie, Zander, and Trevek- had been searching all throughout the territory, and wearing out their paws. Through the third search of a forest, Trixie stopped and sat down, curling her red-orange tail around herself. "Its no use!" She cried. "He's gone! He escaped! We wont find him!"

Zander kneeled down besides her. "Trixie... Trixie. Its okay. It doesnt matter. He cant do anything to harm us anymore." He soothed, putting his hand on her shoulder. Trixie leaned into him, breathing heavily.

"Its my fault. I should have just killed him when i had the chance. Should have just snapped his neck once it was over." Reyn murmered. Zander turned his head to Reyn and gave her the smallest of dangerous glances, as if to say, Trixie is upset and its your fault.

Reyn sighed and continued smelling. She went slightly off-trail, and inhaled again. Dirt. Mud. Trees.
