Prowling silently through the snowy forest, Fara stalked the large elk just a few yards ahead of her. The elk was large, larger than Fara. The smell it gave off was warm, much different than the cold air that stung Fara's nose. It grazed peacefully, unaware of the danger to come. Fara slowly put one foot in front of the other, pacing herself. For she knew it all would be worth this great reward.
Fara bent downwards her front torso, took a quick step forward and - SNAP! A twig broke under her hairy black paw, surely telling her position to the beast. Ignoring the mistake, she pounced at the great beast, only to be smashed into a tree by the elk’s massive hooves. The impact knocked the wind out of her, and her body hurt. Her head spun - how could she have made such a mistake?

Luckily for her, the elk was getting weary already. It was slowing down a bit, and she could tell that its legs were shaky. It turned a sharp corner, Fara followed reluctantly. Then suddenly out of nowhere, jaws wrapped around her neck painfully, and she was caught much by surprise. She looked over her shoulder, it was that damned grey wolf…
