Surprise!

The storm was something she didn't expect to meet. When she had woken up that morning, the weather didn't seem at all foreboding. Now, as she walked through the thunderstorm, she missed the warmth of the sun and the clear blue sky that was cloud-free. She thought of the prickly feeling she got from being warm, then realized the rain drenching her fur was making her get goosebumps. Aeil shook all over, trying to lighten the load of water that soaked her body, but to no avail. She sighed deeply and trudged on through the storm's path.
Light-footed and the same type of build, she changed her pace to a steady jog as she made her way from the last place of safety. The crack she had found in the earth earlier had given her some shade and shelter from the wind, but she wasn't so lucky with the storm. When a lightningbolt had threatened her place of shelter a mile away, she knew it was time to leave. The thunderstorm gray color of her pelt kept her from standing out against the sky, but she wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. The four-year-old femme's spirits remained positive and high as she thought, 'It could always be worse.' The rain then hammered down, causing her to become wet to the bone of her slender limbs. Aeil increased her speed, eager to get away from the storm.She hadn't gone too far when she caught sight of a darkened hole above the earth. Her blue eyes brightened when she saw the fallen log and hope was restored in her chest. Aeil's brisk jog became a flat out run and with her heart racing, she shortened the distance between her and the den. She slipped into the entrance and felt relief from the rain as her whole body made its way inside the den. Panting heavily, she looked out to the storm and sighed happily. It wasn't until she regained her breath that she heard the soft panting of another. Slowly, she turned her head to the deeper part of the den and her blue eyes met two others, one red and the other blue. Her own opts widened and she silently shivered.
