Streak stayed calm, he knew from experience that himself and Caleb were very good swimmers, but as he had been shortly thinking before, the rivers fury would show no mercy on the two wolves.They needed to think fast, the options of where to go were very slim, they could jump across the river, but at any moment, the small bank on the other side looked ready to collapse.No more wolves could be lost from this pack, there was few enough already with Windspot gone, not one more could be afforded to be lost.They would have to jump, they could not beat the river rushing that Caleb had only outrun by a minute, it would be here, it was coming.Streak backed up, getting ready to leap, Caleb did the same, understanding the choice his alpha leader had made, and ready to follow him--even if it meant going to a watery grave.Streak looked behind him, Caleb stood ready, they had to jump now, the water was approaching them fast, the two wolves could hear it right now.Streak ran, he ran up unto the side of the bank they were standing on, then gave one big thrust from his back legs to send himself flying into the air, and jumped.It was not quite enough though, he landed slightly on the bank, he scrambled up, pushing what was left of the bank down into the river.Caleb had an either farther leap, and he wasnt even as big as Streak.He wasnt giving up though, Caleb had a wolf spirit, and that meant hed die for his pack.Caleb ran up until the bank, and stopped, he went back to his starting point, and a little farther back.Streak could now see the water that had pushed over the bank, it was coming, it was coming now.Caleb ran, he ran and leaped over the creek and then some, he cleared it even farther than Streak had.Streak nudged his packmate, who was laying on the ground catching the little breath he had in him.Caleb slowly got up, Streak led him to see what he had just overcome, and warned himself of, if it hadnt been for Calebs fast running, there would be no more Streak. The two wolves returned to the den, the pups, and Riptide.They brought no food with them, but they had brought back themselves, which was more than they could have hoped.The rain still poured out furiously, Riptide and the pups were all sleeping in the den toghther, it was a very tight fit, but somehow they had pulled it off.The sleeping pups woke as soon as they heard the great bark that was known as their fathers.All five of them jumped a tugged on whatever they could, and soon attacked Caleb as well.Riptide slowly came out of the den, sleepy-eyed from her nap with the pups.She sniffed around for food, but when she found none she let off a pitiful bark.Caleb returned the sad bark, for they had not brought anything home for her and the pups.A deep thunderous roar went through the camp, frightening the pups.It was only nature though, and Streak offered them no support, they needed to learn that these were the sounds that nature made quite often.Streak and Caleb would go back out tomorrow in search of food.For now though, their fur was soaked in rain, their paws tired, and their ears being tugged on by hungry pups, needed a rest.
Dude, amazing, amazing, AMAZING story. Wow, I agree, feels like I'm there..with Streak and Caleb. Keep it up, I love reading this. I do say this is my favorite story on here, and by FAR my favorite by you. Caleb looks awsome, and I've heard you finished the other two boy pups. (oh dear, did I give out a secret?)
