5 Dire Plan

CHAPTER 5

Dire Plan Clara glared at the prince. "You know we should have told Grom about the pup." Lucas grabbed his backpack and stuffed any food he could find into it: sausages, bread, fruit, and more. "We tried," he said. "Besides, I have a plan." "A plan?" Clara asked. "What kind of plan?" Lucas smiled. "We're returning the pup to her wolf pack. Dire wolves travel every few days, so we don't have much time."

Clara nodded thoughtfully. "Good idea, but how is the pup going to follow us? I'm not putting her on a leash." Lucas held up his bag of food. "You don't need a leash if you have snacks! Watch and learn."

The prince waved a sausage in front of the pup and walked around the tent. The pup sniffed the air, then followed Lucas everywhere. Ruskin was interested too. Lucas tore the sausage into two pieces and tossed one to the pup and one to Ruskin. They both ate it up and looked back to Lucas, asking for more.

Lucas tossed another piece, and the pair collided trying to catch it. The dire wolf pup let out a series of tiny sneezes. "Looks like you are allergic to dragons, huh?" said Lucas. "We'll make sure to keep you two apart. Even a tiny dire wolf sneeze can be tracked by hunters." As they stepped out of the tent, Lucas told Ruskin to fly overhead and look for signs of the wolf pack. "Pay attention to caves, Ruskin," Lucas directed. "Wolves like to hide there during the day."
