pitter patter, lets get at 'er

The girl’s make their way into the cave, the slippery rocks no match for their small, clumsy paws. As carefully as two naïve pups can be, Unagi and Delphi descend further down into the darkness. In a very loud whisper, her sister informs her that she thinks she can hear the weasels and Unagi shoots her an excited grin. The sight of tails disappearing into the gloom at the bottom of the path has the black and white girl picking up her pace while her nose works overtime as she tracks their scent.

Silently, she leads the way, tail lashing from side to side in eager anticipation as the prey animals scent grows stronger. The darkness surrounds them, swallowing up their forms as they hit level ground and start into the new tunnel. Sounds surround the pair, the slip of small paws reverbing as loud as a gun going off in a silent room. Claws click against stone as they go and Unagi continuously checks to make certain that Delphi is safe and staying close to her.

While the dark may scare many, Unagi is not afraid since the thought of getting hurt has not yet entered her young mind. Ahead of the pair, a small pool of light appears and begins to grow. As they near the unknown source of light, the tunnel opens up into a small underground pool of water and, in the clear depths, some bioluminescent algae shine brightly. Unagi slows, looking back to Delphi before inclining her head toward the edge of water.

There, the two small weasels that the girls have been chasing drink to their hearts content without a care in the world. Too bad death stalks them today.
