Snow. Comfy.

nevermind that noise you heard Sometimes I thought that the North was as close to heaven as I would get; a quiet, scarce of life place that was always draped in white. I could roam far and wide across its territory without much bother from anyone. The only time I disliked its lack of creatures was when my stomach roared for sustenance. Today, unfortunately, was one of those days. So my soul task was to find some sort of flesh that I could sink my teeth into. I had already traveled a good distance with no luck, until I reached the area of submerged trees. My keen optics noticed fresh rabbit tracks that trailed the edge of the lake; leading toward a small cluster of trees some distance from the gathering of water. Quietly I crept along the footprints. My nose close to the cold snow covered earth; inhaling the delicious scent. It did not take me long to come across the bearer of the prints; a pint sized beast barely worth calling a meal. I reserved my sigh of disappointment for a later time, not wanting to scare my prey. Gently I lowered my large frame to the ground and snuck up to the unsuspecting rabbit; it's eyes were closed and body huddled together because of the cold temperature. Then after closing the gap between us I lunged forward with swiftness. Taking the beast by complete surprise. It cried out in pain for a few short minutes before I twisted its scrawny neck; a pleasant crack ringing through my ears. Immediately I began my small feast; devouring it in record time. Not long after I finished off the last morsels of rabbit meat had a howl rung out across the land. It sounded quite frail to my ears. Perhaps a lone female had gotten herself lost in the North? The thought sent a chuckle rolling off my bloodstained lips. I had already completed what I originally had set out to do so investigating the distress call seemed quite interesting. Maybe the lass needed some... company. Quickly my legs began to move toward the voice; lilac eyes darting around the darkness. My paws were very careful as to not fall into the ice cold liquid that was settled to the side of me. There in the snow laid a earthy colored she-wolf; quite open to the elements and predators. How foolish. I mused while watching the female from a distance. Quietly I stood for a few moments, trying to decide how I wanted to approach the stranger. Once I chose I crept up to the wolf so quietly I surprised even myself. I was like a ghost wandering in the darkness. Upon reaching the sleeping fool I whispered eerily into her ears, "boo." |
