New Scenery Needed

Her behind raised high in the air, Caora's bi-coloured eyes stared hard at her prey, a small rabbit. The dry grass rustled as the rabbit nuzzed around for food amongst the roots and leaves. Food was getting leaner and although Caora did not have the size or strength to go after larger prey and so she'd been limited to small prey thus far in her life. Ears pricked, the pup crawled forward, taking care not to step on any dry twigs at make too much disturbance in the grass. Everything was still and yet fast in the moments before she pounced. The twitching of the rabbit's nose, the rapid beating of its heart and the feeling of the crumbling earth and parched grass under her paws. It only took a quick leap and a short struggle before Caora had her meal.

Straightening up to her full height with the bunny inbetween her jaws, Caora padded ahead to search for some shelter. Storms were quick to arrive in autumn, it seemed and Caora didn't want to be caught in one of those again. Before the pup could travel much further, a grey shape in the corner of her eye fought her attention. Turning to look, Caora's eyes widened. Another wolf! She'd smelled many others in these lands but this was the first she'd seen another wolf so close since leaving home. Suddenly awash with shyness, Caora stood still and simply looked at the grey and black wolf.
