Short Backstory:
I stalked calmly through the dense rainforest I called my home.I was looking for prey, it was my first time out alone and i wanted to impress the others in our clan with the biggest juiciest morsel. Sitting Back on my haunches I lifted my shout into the air and took a long drought of air in, so many exquisite scents bombarded my scenes, The warm Musty scent of the ground beneath my feet, the rich grassy scent of the wet trees that surrounded me, the wet fur smells that came from me, and the sharp musk smell of prey that wafted from every direction, were only a few of the scents that assaulted me . The area was rich in prey, it had sustained my pride since my father's father's father had brought us here, so rising to all fours i padded to the left, in search of the biggest mouse or bird i could find.
It did not take me long to find what i was looking for, a large rodent of some sort sat a few feet ahead of me. Fallowing instincts i dropped into the classic predatory stalking position and started to move around behind it, never breaking my crouch. I had a tense moment when i was so focused on the prey that i did not see a small twig in my path, its brittle form broke with a loud resounding CRACK! the rodents Head shot up from its search for seeds and i froze, willing my body to blend into the surrounding undergrowth. after a few tense second for the both of us the rodent went back to its seed hunting, so i took my chance and moved quickly to were i wanted to be, i sized up the distance and lunged, my claws met the rodents back and before it could so much as squeak the deed was done. I was full of pride, I had taken down such an impressive creature on my first hunt alone! I picked the carcass up gently, but securely, in my jaws and proceeded to make my way home.
Unfortunately, in my Jubilation of my kill i failed to realize something was stalking me. I did not catch its scent until it was past too late, the Jaguars claws closed around my back legs flipping me upside down. I let out a screech my prey flying from my mouth. I recovered rolling back up right, i caught site of my attacker then, and a shiver of fear ran though my body, Jaguar. I knew i could not match the much larger feline in strength, so i puffed up my fur and spread my feathers out in an attempt to make my self look bigger, i even Hissed to try to deter the large predator , but to no avail, it started to circle me in the classic " I you know your caught, now i will toy with you" fashion. I must admit I was scared, I kept my eyes locked on It at least i knew when My time would come, Right?
I had almost given up the Jaguar was much larger than me and i knew i would not have a chance aganst it, I shivered, but I did not let it leave my sight. luckily for me the Jaguar paused for a few seconds behid me and I took my chance without really thinking it though, I blasted off as fast as i could though the small opening it had given me. My sudden movements surprised the animal and it gave chase after a few seconds. I was small but i was fast, but faster than the Jaguar? I could only hope.
I ran for a wile and deeper into the Jungle that I had ever gone, But the chase was almost up , i skittered to a halt at the edge of a waterfall. I shrank back at the raw power of the pounding water, but a horrifying caterwaul had my taking a few step forward towards it, looking back I saw the Jaguar slowly stalking towards me, I let out a small screech and Jumped. Time stopped for me as I fell I saw my life flash before my eyes, My pride my mother my father, I wonder if they will miss me. The Jaguars Loud almost roar drug me back to reality as i Hit the water below.
The water clawed at my Pelt and each punding blast of the current drove me under, I started to panic and claw at the water try ing to reach the surface. I was running out of air! then the kind voice of my mother drifed back to me, I was in the cave we called home, Remember Nulani If your eve caught in the river do not panic, it only brings death, calm your mind and then slowly swim with the current do not fight it. For the first time in my life i took my mothers advice, i calmed my self pushing back the well of panic that wanted to drown me, and i turned allowing the current to take me with it. slowly the current pulled me up, Finaly i reached the surface, the air felt amazing as it filled my screaming lungs, the river pushed me lightly to the bank, and shivering i collapsed on the beach, The final thought that ran through my mind before i gave into the darkness that ate away at the edge of my vision was, Dang i really screwed up now huh?. and the world went dark
Anything else?: she is an amazing beauty, and i apologize for this being a bit long ^^" i really got into writing it and before i knew it it was uhh.. loong x3
