I saw it, I swear!
Iho

Kitsune shivered in the wintery cold night. Seating alongside the border, looking sullenly out at the swamp. What were the chances of another anaconda finding her if she stepped over the border? She couldn’t sleep, and she couldn’t imagine anything better than sneaking out and seeing Iho. perhaps even stealing a spot beside him, and snuggling up against his warmth. Watching the glowing stars beside her best friend.
She huffed a soft sigh, and shivered again, hunkering down at the border's edge. She would also have to cross the river to get to him, and it was cold. If only she had her farrier around to give her a ride across…
She glumly looked up at the moon again. Most of the swollen overgrown orb peeking out at her beneath the tree tops. Could a moon look menacing? It definitely looked menacing to her. She blinked, finding it brighter than usual to stare at and lowered her eyes. Hurm. she must have spots in her vision from staring at it, she could still see glowy white floating about to the side of her.
No, wait… she turned her head suddenly, and the glowy white was gone. Hmm. trick of the night. The darkness was clearly getting to her. She yawned, stretching, and getting to her feet. Best get herself to bed then, and she could see Iho in the morning. She turned back towards the pack - and shrieked- standing right behind her was a big glowing coyote, and white and wispy as the moon. She jumped like a startled cat, heart hammering in her ears. Expecting the glowing white figure to disappear… but it didn’t. It stayed there. She bit back another squeak, and swiped a paw at the ghostly figure. Did she misjudge? Surely that should have hit it? The coyote snarled at her, and Kitsune took a step back. Oh no, she wanted nothing to do with that…
It was blocking the path between her and the pack, she took a step backwards. The coyote snarled, and stepped closer towards her. She gasped, and took off like a rocket. Racing across the stream with a great big splash. “Iho, Iho!” she squealed, “you’re not going to believe wha--” [/b] she started to turn back as she spoke, but there was nothing there. It was gone.
