Kace sharpened his hearing as he heard the strange sounds of the insects and other animals that resided there. The smell of rich soil, and vegetation permeated the air as he watched the large green leaves and twisted trunks of this part of the forest.
Kace became restless and impatient. The fact that he couldn't shift was a cherry on top of his anxiousness. He could do more than this if only he could transform to his beast form.
And then it hit him gently, the wind that carried the scent he longed for. It was her scent, no doubt about it.
Gritting his teeth, he picked the faint scent and let his instinct take control. He couldn't lose it.
The wind that carried Hope's scent, led Kace to the other part of the waterfall. The place he had passed twice when he was looking for Hope.
Her pleasing scent grew stronger when Kace came near a strange cave. He sniffed the air and without any doubt, Hope was there not so long ago. She was close.
