" Mom are we there yet?" asked Lynx " no! we are there soon though," replied her mom Zoey

5 minutes later.....

"ok we are here! get out of the car Lynx," announced Zoey

Lynx and Zoey step out of the car and look at a beautiful mountain covered with flowers and birch trees.

" ah, the smell of birch leaves mixed with the sweet scent of flowers is unforgettable!" lynx said. +

" lets start hiking," said Zoey

after hiking for a bit deep in the mountain Lynx finds herself alone in the dark dark forest,

" umm mom? where are you? mom!" Lynx cried

all she heard was her voice echoing around her.

Lynx sat down on the leafy floor and cupped her face in her hands,

Lynx remembered a lullaby her mom sang every night for her.. and sang the tune " in the dark dark forest....( sniffle) the Shadow Pack hunts, these shape shifting creatures can sense the distraught touch....and if you ever meet one do not despair young one."

Lynx heard a russle in the dark, a split second later she sees a dark shadowy Panther standing in the moonlight staring at her with its intense glare preparing for a pounce... Lynx got up and ran for all she was worth.

( now if you dont know if you find a panther who seems to be getting ready to attack you then:

1: dont run

2: dont scream or throw things at it

3: WhY ARE YOU IN THE WooDS AlONE)

Lynx ran for a bit then tripped over and by the time she turned around there was a panther standing on top of her sniffing her,

a moment later the panther lifted up the dazed girl onto her back and raced through the forest until the panther came to a stop in a cave, lit by a hole at the top letting sunshine through.

" wha-whats your name?" said Lynx( my name is AVA )said a voice that seemed to be coming from all directions (i am of the shadow pack )it spoke again

Lynx looks around her looking for anyone who might have said that, until her eyes came to rest over the panther who seemed to be mouthing something??

" you- you used te-telepathy?" whispered Lynx

The panther nodded..
