Spice looked ahead, panting, hoping she would find somewhere to rest. She had been traveling for a while since she left her home. She saw a cave ahead, and, were those roses? They looked like the ones her old humans had planted around the edge of the yard. But these were much brighter and more colorful. Curious, she stepped forward, closer to the cave.
Maybe I could rest here. she thought. She padded silently up to the cave entrance and peered around the gloom. It took a moment for her eyes t adjust, but, when they did, her jaw dropped in awe of the pure beauty.
In the cave was a beautiful pool of water that almost glowed. Spice approached the water's edge and looked down at the glassy surface. She saw her face and noticed how much wilder she looked since she had left her humans. Was she changing permanently? Or would she give up after a while and go back to her humans? Now, she couldn't tell. All she knew was that she was tired and thirsty from her long walk.
She dipped her head down and hesitated, almost reluctant to break the glassy surface. But her throat was parched, and she needed the water. So she dipped her muzzle further and lapped up the water, trying to be as quiet as possible. When she felt that her thirst was quite quenched, she padded away from the pool and found a good, cozy alcove to lay in. Curling up, she yawned and tried to doze, but only found sleep hard to come by.
