Aim for the Heart
The snow crunched under Ruby’s feet as she ran through the rock formations of the area once known as Garden of the Gods. Behind her she could hear the pounding of paws and loud howls of wolves calling for the rest of the pack to follow. After dodging several trees, Ruby swung herself around to face them. Set, nock, pull, release; Ruby recited in her head as she gripped the wooden handle of her bow with her right hand. Using her left hand, she pulled an arrow out of her quiver and nocked it. One wolf lunged forward as Ruby looked him in his scarred eye, pulled the string of her bow back to her cheek, and released. The rest of the pack watched as the arrow found its place in the wolf’s heart.

I really like the part when she repeats the order of what to do to shoot the wolf. I also love the detail of how she ran through the woods.
Nice job, the description was good and through this you’ve described the character well, leaving a good start for a longer story.
Good job! I love the end where it says "the arrow found its place in the wolves heart"!
I loved the mystery and description and a heartbreaking piece is great every once in a while so I really liked the story!
This is an amazing little piece of writing. You did a great job writing it so that it’s is simple to picture everything that happens.
This is great! I love the descriptions you used such as scarred eye
I thought that this was a very good piece of writing. I really liked how you described how the girl shot you the wolf.
