Cloud pounded into the clearing, having run all the way there. She was panting a little, but not from exertion. She was nervous. Cloud turned her head this was and that, circling around the clearing with her eyes.
"This is just wonderful," Cloud murmured under her breath.
She looked around to see if this...Breeze wasn't it? was following her. Oh well, if she wasn't, that didn't matter. She'd look as hard as she could. Cloud paused for a moment, trying hard not to sneeze. There was this awful /smell/ in the bushes. What was it? No pup could smell that bad, and it wasn't a skunk. Cloud knew- from experience.
"Cotton?" she called softly. "Are you here? Your mother is looking for you. Please come out!"
Cloud had run out of things to say. She carefully nosed into one of the bushes. Phew! /Some/thing had forgotten to clean up after itself. What a stink! That stupid smell was covering up all traces of wolf scent.
Cloud wrinkled her nose in disgust and moved on to the next bush. Here she found a spot of...what was that? She sniffed it. A wave of sadness passed over her face. It was blood. Lakota's blood. She closed her eyes tightly, fighting off another rain of tears.
