fiction!
The Almost
Lone Wolf
“Hey Fang, we
gonna pounce the deer yet?” My pack mate, and fellow wolf, Paws
asked me.
“No, not
yet,” I told him.
“How about
now?”
“No, the
moment isn't right,” I whispered back.
“Now?” He
wagged his tail like one of those domesticated canines of the humans.
How obnoxious. His gray fur matched mine, but I don't think anything
else about us was the same.
“Paws...” I
snarled while still managing a whisper. I wish I was a lone wolf at
this point. As I looked at the deer in the meadow in front of us,
ready for the taking, I wondered why I brought my annoying cousin
along.
“How about
now?”
“No...” A
few more seconds passed, and because of how annoying Paws had been I
decided to dash after the deer by myself. I figured I could take it
out. With my surprise attack I figured I could get my jaws around it,
but it raised its feet above me, ready to trample with my hooves.
At that point
Paws then made an amazing leap at the deer and managed to get it
right in the neck, after a struggle the deer was down. Paws then said
to me with his usual clueless look on his face, “Fang, you forgot
to tell me it was time to get the deer.”
That's when I
remembered why I kept him around. It's always good to have someone to
get your back.
