Resnera walked quietly through the valley. She wanted to practice her hunting and this was obviously the best place to do it. The area was loaded with squirrels and rabbits and other small animals. There were even some deer, but she doubted she was big enough to take one of those down yet. One could only hope though.
Her feet tread quietly across the forest floor and her bright blue eyes scanned the area for any sign of life. There. A rabbit was nibbling quietly on some foliage off to her right. With her eyes locked onto the poor creature, she lowered herself into a stalking position. Her legs crouched gracefully and it looked only vaguely familiar to the painful looking stalk that some of the older wolves at shown her. Their limbs had long ago started to fail them, but Resnera was young and nimble. However, her natural grace and fluidity helped to make her quite the sight indeed.
Inching her way forward she got to about four feet from the rabbit. Its ears twitched and its eyes went startled. Resnera lowered herself farther into the grass to avoid detection. The rabbit relaxed and started to graze again. Perfect. In her earlier puppy stage she would have pounced when the rabbit startled, but she has come to learn that the rabbit's muscles were tight and ready to flee at that point, and it was unwise to try for the speedy creature then. Now she tensed her muscles, took in a large breathe and sprang forward, easily covering the four foot distance. Her jaws crashed in around the little creature's neck and snapped it easily. One this her mentors were already astonished with was her amazingly accurate aim. This young wolf was phenomenal in all aspects. Now if only she could stay focused for more than half an hour....
The pretty young lady yipped and squealed in delight! That was her fourth rabbit in two hours. She was getting better indeed! Since she had discovered that her father had hurt his leg, she had taken to hunting for him. Granted it had taken a bit for her to get enough for the two of them to share, but he had always been proud of her just the same. Scooping the four rabbits up by their scruffs in her mouth, Resnera excitedly bounded off to go find her father and show him her catch.
