The scent was stronger now and Ash recognized it as a rabbit. The
animal was having a little grass snack, not knowing that there were
two wolves ready to pounce. He shuffled closer to it silently, not
alerting the prey.

Silver slowed to a trot, try to scent prey, but her mind kept
wandering. She could almost picture Ash smiling at Forestfire, and
she shook her head angrily. Despite it, she easily caught two mice
and started making her way back. Her distraction didn't last very
long, and she felt her jealousy rise again. Upset and not watching
where she was going, she tripped over a low tree root, tangling her
paw in it, dropping her mice and crying out.
Before the rabbit could move, Ash leapt onto it and bit it in the
neck. He lifted the animal's body off the ground, turning back to
Forestfire. "We should head back; this rabbit is probably big
enough for us to share." However, when he heard someone cry out,
the prey was forgotten and he rushed over to where Silver was.
"Silver! Are you alright? What happened?"

“Oh wow! That’s a big rabbit! I’ll stay here to see if I can catch
some more prey ; Ash, you can check on Silver first. We’ll meet
back at camp.” Forestfire said
A small wolf watched the interactions from the shadows. He, too,
had been drawn by the cries, but the sudden appearance of two more
wolves was enough to make him hesitate to intervene.
Silver looked at Ash with a mixture of embarrassment and shame.
"I-I.... I wasn't paying attention and I tripped." She tried to
pull her leg out, but it was far too stuck.
Meanwhile, Forestfire stumbled across a gazelle. “This gazelle is
bigger than me! I’m sure it could be a tasty one.” She thought,
scratching and making her claws sharper, readying her attempt to
hunt down the gazelle.
"Let me help," He attempted to claw the root, carefully making sure
that he did not hit Silver's foot in the process. He felt the
presence of someone else but shook it off. It was probably another
rabbit or so.

Silver embarrassingly turned to help. When it was loose enough, she
pulled her foot out, barely holding back a whimper in the process.
She gently scooped her mice and started towards Forestfire,
mumbling a thank you while hiding her injury. Spotting the gazelle,
she crouched by Forestfire. "I'll take the side if you go for the
throat, or vice versa - it's too big for just one of us.
Surprised by Silver's arrival, Forestfire whispered to Silver " We
must stay unnoticed, and wait for the perfect moment to hunt."
Forestfire did exactly what she said to Silver. The gazelle didn't
see them, still eating the wet grass on the floor. "This is the
perfect time." She whispered to Silver again. She then leaped at a
high place and jumped down with her claws sharp.
Silver pounced as well, suddenly grateful Forestfire went for the
throat. Her leg would have prevented her from getting a clean
pounce on it. The gazelle's fight was over quickly, and Silver's
eyes glittered as she grinned at Forestfire.
Ash smiled at his packmates before turning his attention back to
the other presence. After a few moments of looking around, he
noticed a small wolf in the shadows. "Hello... who might you be?"
He greeted him warmly but stayed at a distance so he wouldn't scare
the wolf away.

Ash turned his attention back to his packmates. "Oh! Sure!" He
gingerly picked the mice up in his jaws, waving his tail in good
bye to the small wolf. He trotted after Silver and Forestfire.
