With the paper still in my mouth, I followed behind Carletta. I kept a good distance between us. I still could not tell if she could sense me or not, but I was not going to risk my one chance to find the pack by getting to close. My fur was getting sticker as the juices from the raspberries dried, but I would live.
I sighed in relief as a massive building came into view. New smells flooded my nose. I had to stop and shake my head to clear it from all the new smells. By then I had lost track of Carletta. I looked all around but could not see her anywhere. Digging a small hole in the ground. I buried the paper that I have been carrying with me. Then I used my claws and teeth to tear at the base of the tree closest to it.
