<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: teal">Leanne watched as her new friend seemed to tense up, sensing something was coming. She could barely feel it <br/>herself, but not strongly enough to know for sure. For a moment her gaze could only follow her friend up the tree before he came scurrying back down, pretending to be some growling beast. Normally she would have giggled at the cute little display. But now was clearly not a time for joking around. Quickly, she hid with the fox-squirrel in a bush nearby and peered cautiously out through the leaves.<br/>A giant majestic wolf passed through. Luckily, it didn't seem interested in the two of them- for sure it had caught their scent. She knew<br/>the strength of a wolf's sense of smell. It was very strong. Sometimes, painfully strong.<br/><br/>Soon the magnificent beast disappeared in the distance, emitting a low growl that she couldn't make out. When she was sure the<br/>danger had passed she took a few tentative steps into the open and looked in the direction it had gone, listening to her friend squeak<br/>down at her feet. It was a question- she assumed she knew what he was asking. She shrugged her small shoulders and tilted her head<br/>slightly to the side, blinking in confusion.<br/>"I don't know where it came from... I haven't really met a wolf that big before," She murmured in what seemed to be shock.<br/>Normally she stayed relatively far from the deeper, more dangerous parts of the forest. Beasts that big she'd come across of course-<br/>but never a large predatory wolf. She had wolf friends, but they were normal in size.<br/>"I wonder why it seemed to be in such a rush?" Certainly there was a reason for it's urgent pace?<br/><br/>She followed the path it had taken and looked in the direction the wolf had come, pausing to think.<br/>"I wonder if we should go check where it came from? You know, in case it came across something..."</span></div>
