Word Count → 448 :: Keldava is like "Awww shit" XD
A set of leather straps for her knives would definitely be at the top of her list of things to make Keldava thought to herself, grumbling quietly as she tried to adjust the ropes she had holding the blades now, one of which was placed unconfotably, and wincing as she just caused the knife to poke into her thigh harder. Between grumbling about the knife, concentrating on keeping her footing and other various thoughts taking up her mind Keldava almost didn’t notice the weird scent that drifted past her nostrils, doing a double take as she processed it ten seconds after first smelling it.
With ‘Dora’s kidnapping still fresh in her mind the presence of a unfamiliar scent inside pack territory panicked Keldava and she immediately spun to face it. Unfortunately in her panic she had stopped focusing on her balance and allowed the heavy meat she hadn’t thought to drop to unbalance her. Keldava tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground, letting out a very loud yelp as the fall caused the uncomfortably placed knife to poke her hard enough to break the skin.
Keldava gave a long whine at the pain and reached down to feel the wound, her hand coming away stained with a few drops of red from what appeared to be a shallow cut. Huffing angrily Keldava pulled the knives out of their holsters and slid them along the ground to where the deer carcass had come to rest. Keldava’s eyes suddenly widened in shock and she spun around as she realised she had forgotten about the weird smell.
Keldava let out an involuntary gasp as she saw the creature lurking in the undergrowth. It was a large creature, holding features matching no canine she had ever seen and with a coat of striking orange and white, overlaid with black stripes. Under normal circumstances Keldava would have been enthralled with the creature and its mixture of beauty and obvious power, at the moment though, her eyes were wide with a hint of fear.
Now that she was still and focusing she could recognise the scent as slightly familiar, a scent pattern that Mahnaya had identified for her as feline and Keldava’s split ear tingled at the thought, remembering when a bobcat had given the young puppy the scar to drive her off. But this was no little animal the size of a pup seeking to gain retribution for being disturbed, this was a massive beast that looked like it could eat her whole!
”H-hello?” Keldava called out, hoping in vain that the creature might be able to speak and wishing that she ahdn;t thrown her knives quite so far away.
