Mouth watering, her mostly sightless eyes flicked around, nose flaring as it tried to find the source of the seemingly delectable rotting scent. It was the scent of a dead deer, killed several days prior and mostly picked clean. She could, however, still smell a hint of meat on the carcass - if only she could locate it. It seemed to be everywhere, but within a few seconds she could pick out an underlying trail - courtesy of the work she had been doing with her other senses since her family disappeared.

No longer did she think of them - of her mother, her father, her brothers, her aunts and uncles. No longer did they cross her mind because she had only one, unthinking and undeniable purpose - food, survival. While once she pined for them, and still did in her dreams, waking thoughts were devoted to sleeping, drinking, and eating.

Eyes narrowing in focus, she stared at the ground in front of her. It was some sort of color, not that she knew what it was, but it was easy enough to distinguish it from the color of leaves in spring. And there was another color, a darker one, that was the bark of twigs and branches - this was the color she looked for while walking, so she could avoid the things that scratch her and make her trip. It took such concentration, to walk, follow a scent trail, and focus so heavily on the ground in front of her that it wearied the pup quickly, but eventually she managed to stumble on the carcass. The carcass was a similar color to the leaves - some of the leaves even held the color of the deer insides! The outside was like the bark of trees, and she fell upon it hungrily, grasping a bloody bone in her jaws and gnawing. Her greedy tongue quickly found the bits of meat still clinging to the bone, and she gobbled them quickly, completely oblivious to the outside world.
