Chapter Six: Lesson Offer

"What happened to Canyonwolfy?" Flame asked as Wolfrock and GreatShot came in.
"Canyonwolfy is battling a coyote! He needs help." Wolfrock explained.
"Canyonwolfy can handle a coyote, I'm sure," Flame nodded.
"But this coyote was bigger than average. It's almost Canyonwolfy's size!" GreatShot panted.
Fire padded over. "Where's mother?"
Wolfrock looked at GreatShot, who looked nervously at Wolfrock. "Umm," Wolfrock stammered, "Dawn was eaten by a river monster..."
Flame yowled, upset. "My mate dead? What can we do?"
"But Dawn saved my life," Wolfrock said, "I might have been eaten by that river monster if she did not warn me. She sacrificed her life for me!"
"Dawn was always a friendly wolf," GreatShot nodded. "She will be dearly missed."
Wolfrock nodded in agreement. "But what do we do now?"
Flame thought for a moment, then finally spoke. "We should hunt the river monster. But we also need to get to Canyonwolfy!"
As soon as Flame finished speaking, Canyonwolfy entered with many injuries on his body. "I fought off the coyote," he announced, "but more could still be around. I imagine they want to take all of our kill."
Other wolves murmured agreement.
"We must keep the coyotes away!" Howled Night.
"And kill the river monster!" Fire growled to her dad. "That monster will pay!"
Wolfrock looked around at all the shouting wolves. She saw GreatShot joined in, but Wolfrock did not make a sound. But what will we do? She thought.
"Silence, silence!" Flame shouted, and everyone stopped talking. "Now. I will plan this. GreatShot, Wolfrock and Fire, stay here. GreatShot will keep everything under control. Smoke, Darkstreak and Blackear, go off to hunt down the river monster. I will come with you. Smoke, Canyonwolfy and Night, go to fight the coyotes. I wish luck to all of you. May you have a safe return."
All the wolves ran out, ready. Wolfrock enviously watched them leave. I hope I'll get to go off on a mission like that someday, she thought.
"We should stay in here," GreatShot advised, "It won't be smart to go out with all the dangers. Like I was saying before that coyote came along...Wolfrock, would you like me to teach you how to hunt?"
Before Wolfrock could reply, Fire interrupted. "I haven't been taught to hunt yet!" She complained.
"Fire, you'll be taught soon. You know how to catch mice, Wolfrock doesn't." GreatShot gave Fire a cold stare, then turned to Wolfrock. "Agree?"
"Agreed," Wolfrock nodded right away.
"Then I will teach you now."
