Not-So-Silent Footsteps

Tsuki had wandered into these beautiful woods after running around the forest for a while. As she looked around, she found herself unsure as to where she really was. The air smelled pleasant and her stomach growled with the anticipation that food was about to come. The woods that she was in were gorgeous in comparison to where she had been previously; alone and in the mountains. She wandered there after being alone for some time. Now she found comfort and console in these strange woods. The wind began to kick up as Tsuki walked. Her mind wandered to the detail of the forest; trees lush and fresh with sunlight, the ground covered with fallen leaves and twigs. Some trees have fallen to rest on the green ground, and larger trees had hollowed out bottoms. The air smelled of dirt and decaying foliage. It was a perfect setting for a healthy forest.

Birds sung overhead as the black wolf walked. Her fur flowing in the slight wind that made it's way through the trees. She wagged her tail slightly as she could smell the unforgettable musky scent of squirrel. Her stomach growled again as she walked. She had to find food fast. With her mind made up, she put her nose to the ground and sniffed for the wonderful scent trail of the squirrel. Luckily for her, it wasn't too far off. It had just made it around a small mound. Stalking quietly towards the squirrel, she posed her self to attack quickly. Squirrels were fast, but she could be so much faster. Carefully, she lined herself up and waited. One second. Two Second. POUNCE. Snapping her jaws around the squirrel, she could hear the squeak and then silence as she snapped it's neck. Her meal was caught! Wagging her tail slightly again, she tore into her meal. This was the first meal she had had in a few days. Sometimes, she gets so caught up in her own thoughts and making up her own challenges, she forgets that eating is a must as well.

With her meal done, and her belly full, Tsuki began walking again.
