Chapter 57: Walking Free

The undergrowth rustled as Ash trotted through it, nearing the Tribe camp. He could smell a strong stench of wolves as he approached. It appeared that everyone was asleep.
How am I gonna do this? Ash asked himself, shaking his head. He poked his head in camp, seeing that no one was out and about.
Ash crawled into camp, hoping no one would wake up to the smell of his pelt.  He crawled towards the den Nightgale and him were in before. He headed for it, and slipped on the dirt.
Ash tumbled inside, and found that he had pinned Treebranch during the fall. Treebranch was wide-eyed with shock.
Growling, Ash got off Treebranch, and walked over to Nightgale, prodding her awake.
Nightgale woke up, and rose to her paws without making a sound.
Ash went for the entrance, but Treebranch stopped him.
"I'm sorry I pounced on you, Ash, but I was ordered to do so," Treebranch apologized.
Ash sighed in frustration and left the den. He walked towards the camp entrance, Nightgale following cluelessly.
"What do you want?" Nightgale whispered.
"We're going away from the Tribe," Ash answered.
"Really?" Nightgale sounded exciting.
"Yup," Ash confimred, "let's go."
