"Not really," he said, "but I did mention they were poachers." Something at the other end of the camp had caught his eyes a while ago and he was occasionally casting nervous glances over at a small booth. Hanging on a stirng beneath the cloth eave was a nice array of tails.

she followed his gaze and gasped. "they wouldent!"she said sounding agast. she wanted to run and to run now. she strarted struggleing again, chewing on the ropes. if only she had her mirrors! they would cut the rope and they both would be able to run away.

"Um...no Virginia, I very much think they would," he gave a quiet whine in his throat and glanced over at the gyspies conversing by the fire. He was almost certain that's what they wanted being that they had taken his coat and tossed it aside and it was his long coat that hid his tail. How he wished it was somewhat closer to the full moon so his teeth would be sharper. "I like my tail," he said quietly.

Wolf sighed resignedly. Then something underneath the wagon caught his eye. It looked as if some one had dropped something fragile. He turned to Virginia, being that his hands were behind his back and hers weren't. "Can you reach under the wagon?" he asked.

"Something shiney," he said. He tried to look more closely, but it was kind of dark.

she followed his glance. indeed it was something shiny. she shifted and stuck her foot under and drug it back, doing this a few times untill the shiny thing came and she was able to pick it up.

It looked like a long, sharp shard of glass or...mirror perhaps. "Can you cut the rope with it?" he asked, a little excitedly. His tail had hope of survival yet!

He glanced around to be sure they were unnoticed and then snapped the cord from her hands. "Okay, let's go," he said. He stood and offered a hand to help her up.

"But....!" He motioned to the gyspies. "They're gonna notice you wandering around," he muttered, "Come on!" He sighed and helped look for her pack as well.

"It's not like your forcing me," he muttered running with her.The gypsies notticed their disappearance about five minutes after this. Not one of the people that had designs on wolf's tail was happy. They set off after they, having, of course, to pack up camp first.

Wolf helped her up each time, glad when she finally just cut the tedious cloth. He began to notice something strange about her pack. "What's in there anyway," he asked.

He denounced the first two things for obvious reasons, and pondered the last mentioned thing. "Anything special about that mirror?" he asked. He had smelt this before, but not for a long time and never so strong.
