Sierra's instruction started, but was interrupted by a growl and several incoherent images sent from Snow. Something had upset - no, downright pissed off - the wolf.
Calvin knocked an arrow to his bow, following Sierra's lead and the two took off after Snow. This wasn't a normal hunt. Angry images flashed from wolf too quickly for Calvin to decipher. Snow was silent, and the two humans were as silent as possible. They arrived at the edge of a clearing and Sierra took cover behind a tree and Calvin followed suit. He heard voices.
"There's another one. Let's get it."
Poachers - and they had caught sight of Snow. Calvin assumed by their talk that they had another wolf in tow from their conversation. That was confirmed when the wolf they had sent him a message. The poor thing was still alive and in a lot of pain.
Calvin searched for Dawn Wind and sure enough the pack was nearby. This wolf, Calvin thought it was even younger than Snow, must have straggled behind. Calvin sent a message to Dawn Wind who snarled in reply and the pack following him turned to approach.
Calvin had to buy some time - he decided to get them talking. Anything to buy time for the pack to get here. Calvin gave Sierra a knowing look.
"Stop, drop the wolf you have now and go. If you don't, I can't guarantee what will happen to you."
Calvin yelled, but kept his voice calm.
Snow was still growling as the man responded. "Is that a threat?"
"Damn right it's a threat. I have no desire to hurt you, but I will if I have to. Go now."
"Heh, you couldn't hurt me if you tried. I know your type...all talk."
Calvin really had no desire to hurt the man, but the words stirred something in him - a primal anger. He felt the wolf pack closing in and along with it came a desire to hunt those that would hurt any in the pack. His humanity fought with the wolf within him, but he kept control. He quickly pulled the contacts out of his eyes and ran into the clearing bringing his bow up to bear. There were two poachers and Calvin looked the older one - clearly the leader - in the eye.
Calvin pulled the bow up and aimed pulling back the string. "You wanna bet on that?"
Calvin said as he sensed the wolves beginning to form an ambush.
