Cress In Wonderland

As Maelstrom lie in wait, his gaze continued to explore the woods surrounding him. The sound was surrounded by steep sloping sides of a mountain unknown to him. Something about the scent and decaying bodies along the territory's edge kept him from inspecting that any further. Each day, he has seen how the sun rises and falls with the moon rising and falling soon after it. Every tree, rock, bush, and animal in the area behaved differently depending on the time of day. In the morning, the larger predators would reveals themselves. Giant bears moving down the rocky slopes for a sip of water. Herds of reindeer and caribou quickly making their way up and out of the sound to soak up what little afternoon sun they could. The pup notices how each and every thing has a place, a reason to be where it was, and he couldn't wait to figure it out. Investigating the rest of the sound would have to wait for morning. For now, he was drawing closer to the end of his stalking quest of his sister. The thing about stalking, hunting, whatever one wished to call it, was that patience is the key factor. Lying in wait for that exact moment when it would be time to strike. Maelstrom yearned to practice that. To enjoy the build up of the anticipation as his sister scurried about the abandoned den before him. Let her fester in the feeling of being watched, but unknowing to who it was. The idea that he was unseen thrilled him. Watching her begin to sense that she wasn't alone. How her body tensed, face distorting into that growl-like expression. Yes, it was almost time. Just as her quiet vocals reach out to him, he darts from the shadowed brush he'd been hiding in. Paws slap the ground clumsily, still unused to their awkwardly large size. He nearly trips, but it helps him propel faster toward Cressida. Leaping at the last moment to try and tackle her to the ground, he can't help the puppy-like laughter that follows. If he's successful, he'll roll to the ground, landing beside her with a mischievous smirk. "Got you!" Maelstrom says breathlessly, panting loudly as his sides push in and out quickly. |
