Her uninterested eyes looked over the small cavern before her. She had seen a larger one but had been put off going there because of two females who had been talking there. She rather wanted to be on her own for a while. The cavern showed signs of habitation but upo further study she realised that these were years old. The young she-olf had now decided she would stay here for a little while, atleast until the other females left the larger cave, if ever they did. She searched with her eyes for a good area to sleep, she soon found it when she spotted a small indent in the ground towards the far back of the cave. She wandered over, it was a rather spacious hole close up, as if a small group had slept there, and in the far corner of the hollow was an old bone of some sort. Upon close inspection she found that it was a foreleg bone of a male wolf. When her nose made contact with the hard texture of the bone images flashed into her mind. One of these dreams startled her, it was an image of the hunters attacking her pack, but from above. Had this creature seen this from the air? she thought to herself. From the image she heard the words she still remembered. "Prize! Protect the Pupling! Protect Fallow!" That had been her father, that had also been the first time she had heard her name. Tears rolled into her furry face as she watched. She now knew that somehow this dead wolf had watched that soul tearing battle. As the image ended she collapsed onto the ground, her tears were now free falling. She had eventually realised why her father had named her Fallow, he was a seer and had known what would happen so had named her Free Swallow. She was free, in a sense, but in another she was captive of her emotions. She curled up into a tight ball and weeped her way into a dreamless sleep.
