I was crouching behind a bush at around midday. The wolves had a camp set up, they were preparing to move. I heard one say that they'd be moving tomorrow so I would have to work fast. I could tell where Red was by her brightly coloured cape. The tents were a light beige colour so I could tell which wolves were where, and there was more than I'd hoped.
"Smell that?" One of the wolves on watch asked her partner.
I ducked down, laying against the bush, and tried to hold my breath in. I was scared now, the adrenalin I had before had started to wear thin.
"What?" Her partner replied.
"That... It smells ..." She sniffed the air frantically. "You know our training? It smells like her. It smells like the girl ... Smell the air" She barked.
The other wolf let out a laugh. "Your nose hasn't been quite the same since that intense training course" She commented but it seemed more like a dig at the other wolf than her saying it in general.
"I smell her, Karna." She insisted. "My nose is fine and I know it is because I smell her"
"Whatever, Arami, whatever" Her partner replied then walked off. Arami stood there, staring in my direction, then walked off.
That was a close call but I never thought I'd envision what would happen next.
