Beth
Freedom was the feeling of running through the woods on four legs.
In wolf form, Beth was fast. Tireless. She could run through brush, leap
over fallen trees, and splash through streams without stopping for a breath.
Among the Rosewood Pack, she was one of the fastest.
Deep in the woods of Olympic National Park, Beth shook off her
human form and its restraints. She shed the human worries. And then she
ran. Alone. Her pack’s alpha would never have allowed it. Spencer liked to
keep his pack close, especially as the rivalry with the White Winter pack
grew more heated. It was all too suffocating.
Her paws struck the soft, damp ground of the forest. Fir trees shaded
her, but her pale golden fur stood out starkly in the dark undergrowth.
Foolish, Spencer would have called it, but Spencer wasn’t there. She ran
faster. A rabbit leaped from a tangle of gnarled roots and sprinted in front of
her, terrified. Beth could smell its fear and hear its tiny heart’s beat. On a
whim, she gave chase.
She would have caught it in seconds if it had been a real hunt. She
wasn’t interested in eating it, so she let it gain a slight lead, let it think it
was free. Pine branches scraped her sides as she ran. Her head was low,
tongue lolling. The rabbit took a turn deeper into the forest, farther from the
Rosewood territory, but Beth was not about to stop. Not now. Her own heart
beat as quickly as the rabbit’s.
Mud splattered her coat. Twice, she was close enough to catch it, got
a mouthful of fur, and twice, she let it go. The rabbit was a flash of brown,
skipping across the pine needles, and she was on its heels. Rather than
snatch it again, Beth put on a burst of speed and ran alongside it.
Poor thing, it looked terrified. Eyes bulging, nostrils flared until she
could see red. She looked at it rather than where she was going when
stepping into a rabbit hole. Rabbit holes are deep enough to sink a human
leg to the knee. Something snapped as Beth stumbled, brought to a halt by
her fall. She slid along her side in the mud, whimpering. The rabbit hopped
away, white tail vanishing into the brush.
Whining, Beth scrambled to her feet. Her front left leg buckled
beneath her, and she was afraid to look at it and see the damage she’d done.
Careless. Something was broken. She could not put weight on her paw or
straighten her leg properly. No bones protruded, but the fur was scraped
away, and raw, red skin shone underneath, bloodied by the fall. Beth lifted
her muzzle to the sky and howled, long and low.
Her pack was far away, scattered across the nearby towns in their
human forms. It was the middle of a work day, after all. She did not expect
anyone to hear her.
