Sorry for the boring post. xD


A crisp wind sliced between the trees at the outskirts of the forest, ruffling the tawny fur of the coywolf as she sniffed at the ground. She had caught the bloody scent of a mole, which had apparently retreated to its burrow after escaping a killing blow. She licked her lips, optimistic about her chances; the scent was fresh, and she supposed it couldn’t have gotten far. Slender muzzle to the ground, she followed the trail then began to dig at the mound at the end.

It was not long before she unearthed her prey, her nose bumping the velvety, dark coat of a mole. It had claw marks on it, but whatever creature had initially attacked it had either given up or been incompetent. The animal turned, slow and painful, but she quickly grabbed it in her mouth before it could complete its reaction.

She killed the animal with a few vicious shakes and another deep bite, drawing her tongue around her mouth for a moment. It didn’t taste wonderful, especially with its coat of dirt, but she wasn’t very picky. She’d scavenged from putrid kills in the past; she could handle a mole.

Vesper trotted back to the outskirts of the dark forest, dropping her catch and looking up at the cloudy sky. The wisps were light grey and harmless, but the atmosphere was darker than it would have been on a sunnier day. She hoped that the clouds wouldn’t turn stormy before she’d found shelter. She’d been lucky the last time she was out here; the nasty storm had let up after a while.

The female sighed and settled down on her stomach, listening intently to the sounds of the forest and wind before digging into her meat.
