Caller heaved up,hoping to throw Butterscotch off of him.Butterscotch ripped herself from him and threw herself ontop of his back.
At that instant thunder started to roar, as clouds passed over the moon. The last thing Charger saw was a lightning bolt in the sky, so bright it lit up the entire forest. Then the grey wolf's heart stopped beating, and the life faded from his eyes as he left the earth.
Nutik's eyes flooded with tears. "No! Charger! NO!" he lay down next to him and started to lick his face. But he wasn't there. Only Charger's body remained. He was no more. Nutik watched as the sky lit up with lightning and thunder roared. It was as if the earth was mourning Charger's death. Nutik rose and wiped the tears from his eyes. He lifted his head to the storm above and howled his sorrow.
