Applefur paused, staying alert and silent. She concentrated intently, listening for any sign of prey. She closed her eyes, blocking out any distractions, and at that moment, she heard it, the nearly inaudible sound of scrabbling on the forest floor. Swiftly, she rounded a large boulder which revealed the source of the scrabbling. A mouse. It hadn't noticed her even though she was nearly a tail length away. Keeping in mind that if the mouse made even the tinyest squeal of alarm, she would have to travel even farther away from camp to find more prey, she timed her attack perfectly. She swiped up the mouse with one paw. It hit the ground, stunned. And there, she saw her chance. She pounced, and after finishing it off quickly she set it down to bury it. But at then she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her. She had been so intent on her prey that she hadnt noticed any other scents around her.
She glanced up quickly to see another figure emerge from the shadows.
