A journey of her own

[Cloudfrost]

*She runs, racing over the pine needles.*
//The journey is over, but why do I feel like I'm missing something?//
*Her thoughts race around her head like fish in a pond. She stops at the entrance to the two-leg nest, sensing danger. She creeps forward, knowing what she must do.*

[Cloudfrost]

*Her paw-steps fall softly on the rotten floor, sinking slightly into the wood. Her breath comes in ragged gasps, the sense of impending doom growing ever more intense*
"Hello? Anyone there?"
*Hearing no response, she shuffles forward a few more steps.*

[Cloudfrost]

*She shivers although the day is quite warm. She turns a corner and the scent hits her nose, the heavy smell of something long dead.*
//This can't be good.//
*She approaches the carcass and sees long claw marks down its back. Its blood stains her paws red.*

[Cloudfrost]

*Her ears rotate toward a sound near the entrance*
//That couldn't be...//
*Her blue eyes flick over the bushy tail and red fur of a fox. Her whole body tenses, going rigid with fear. She backs toward a wall, pressing into a corner. The fox flashes out a paw, swiping its claws down her back. She cries out in fear and pain.*

[Cloudfrost]

*It lunges again, its jaws clamping around her neck. The last sound she hears is the crunch of her neck snapping, and then the world turns black*

[Blazestar]

*dashes in, hearing her cry* cloudfrost!? *sees the fox* *lunges with all her strength, and claws furiosly at its pelt* *chases it away and returns* my daughter........... *carries the limp body back to camp quickly*
