Chapter Ten: Behind The Bushes

"Hide in the bushes!" GreatShot whispered from behind the two pups.
Wolfrock feared she wouldn't come with them and fight, but she followed Fire into hiding. GreatShot quickly dragged both of the wolves by the scruffs and just made it into the bushes as the big wolf came close, and obviously couldn't see them well.
Wolfrock tried to see the big wolf, but GreatShot insisted she should watch. Wolfrock tried to see it, but saw very few things.
But Wolfrock did see the big wolf looking at the blood and heard it growl satisfaction.
Dawn, what do I do now? Wolfrock pleaded in her head, waiting for an answer. What happened to Smoke? You said you tried to stop them; what happened to these trees with you trying to make them turn tail?
But Dawn said nothing; nor did her mother.
Wolfrock kept peeking through the bush, trying to get a good view. She could see the big wolf sniffing the air and growling, probably smelling the three wolves.
"Stay downwind," GreatShot whispered like a mouse was just one fox-length away from them during hunting.
Wolfrock was confused. She looked to see what Fire did; Fire crouched down, so low she actually lay down. Wolfrock did the same. GreatShot did, too, keeping watch.
"Can I see?" Fire asked.
"No, I'm afraid it'd see you and try to harm you," GreatShot ordered.
"You're so over-protective," Fire growled.
"I wouldn't like it if I had to say to Flame, 'We're so sorry, but your daughter was killed by a mysterious wolf.' Imagine how your father would react!" GreatShot snapped.
Wolfrock narrowed her eyes to try and see the big wolf better. It trotted to the bushes where they were hiding. Don't let it find us! Wolfrock thought in her head, saying it to Dawn or her mother.
GreatShot looked like she wanted to pounce on the big wolf. Wolfrock was about to tell her not to, but Fire did it for her. "GreatShot, don't put yourself in trouble. That wolf is twice as big as you, and you're always fighting. I wouldn't want to tell father you're dead, either," Fire protested, stealing what GreatShot had told her earlier.
"I don't know if I will try to drive that wolf away or not," GreatShot gave Fire a cold stare, "It might be risky, but I don't want this wolf here."
"We could be at the river now, stopping the others," Wolfrock whispered.
"Duh. And these two are probably one of the, 'others'", Fire looked at the two victims.
"Did that wolf kill these guys?" Wolfrock asked GreatShot.
"We have no proof," GreatShot admitted, "so I don't know."
"What will we do?" Fire whispered, worried.
"I am gonna distract that wolf. You guys run for help. These wolves, though, we'll have to put here," GreatShot sighed, "I will try to beat that wolf if I can. I am gonna need help from everyone."
"We can't let you fight alone!" Fire wailed.
"Better me than you two," GreatShot looked down at her paws.
Wolfrock hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I will fight with you."

An Author's Note:
Sorry if it seems something violent will happen; I don't know if I can put fighting in this story or not.
