Kill The Headlights

The boy would sit there for a long while. His energy building back up before he could even rise to all four paws again. Ruby optics would close as he paused for a few more deep breaths and then he would continue on. His eyes looking up at the clouds as he walked to see how much time he had left before returning to the caverns. He entered the trees before taking even another moment to listen. Everything he learned was self taught at this point, and his only regret was that he couldn't have superpowers to grow bigger so he could take down something worth eating. He was listening for the birds, the ones that held themselves in the trees he obviously couldn't get to. His nose lifted a little and his eyes began to gently search the area. And eventually, he would spot a couple birds hopping around in the grass. He would lower his body and circle around so they wouldn't spot him coming straight toward them. Hiding behind each tree he came across he eventually would get close enough for the pounce, and he was successful. Sadly, the bird wasn't even fully grown. But it was enough for him to make it through the the next couple of days without keeling over. He would drop it to reposition it again in his mouth before turning back toward the river to go back to the caverns. And little did he know that someone was watching his every move. He never paid mind to new scents in the area anyway. |
