Shinka wandered through the entrance, unaware of the other wolf. Exhausted, she limped over to a puddle formed by a group of dripping clay columns. Taking a drink, she sighed and layed down next to it, then pulled at the painful thorn embedded in the pad of her paw. Too deep... Failing, she turned to the burs caught in her matted fur. Her once almost glittery, snow white fur had turned a dingy gray and her stomach rumbled irritably. Resting her head on the cool clay floor she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting out a sigh. It was then she caught faintly the scent of another. She went from completely relaxed to defense mode. Her eyes snapped open as she jumped to her feet, the fur on the back of her neck raised up. "Someone there?" she called out, her question echoing throughout the cave. Her piercing icey blue eyes shone through the darkness of twilight's glow, she walked deeper into the cave, taking deep whuffs.
