"She's near here! Get her!"
"Send the dogs out! They'll find her right away!"
As the little girl ran through the forest, she could hear these voices from behind her.
Soon, she was also able to hear the sounds of howling coming from behind her.
Even though they had been called dogs, it was more accurate to call these creatures chasing after her wolves. They were much bigger and had much sharper fangs than normal dogs after all.
The little girl knew that she had to find a place to hide or she would be found very soon.
But at the same time, she couldn't stop the mist from covering her eyes.
She knew that the appearance of these hunters and their wolves meant…that her mother had already been captured.
Or the more likely ending…her mother was most likely dead.
They had escaped together, but her mother had stayed behind to draw the hunters and the wolves away.
