Occupying Free Time

The woman decided today that she would get out of her comfort zone. She had left her old home, trekking across the plains with the quartz necklace that her mother had given her gently bouncing against her chest. Petite form practically swam through the grasses, large ears poking above the vegetation. She had wandered a good part of the day, and had even caught herself a little groundhog to snack on.

Laying in the grasses partially hidden, she was unaware of the other wolf lingering nearby. Wolves had mistaken her for prey before. Fawn specifically. She had been born with a coat similar to theirs, sprinkled with smallish spots across her back and sides, and even the same brown. She hadn't detected his scent either since she was busy with her little snack.
