as the moon transcended over the sky, an eery presence settled over the camp. between the bushes and moss covered rocks, a shadow crept quietly. careful to hide her sight she darted across the moonlit clearing and over to the nearest den, hiding in the thick shadow casted by the ledge of the boulder where the second in command laid. her tail tip flicked about with interest and her green optics surveyed the surrounding area. being caught at this time of night, sneaking around like she was, would be seriously awkward to explain. however she always had a good alibi for her weird ventures and was quite good with her words.

sneaking into the den where the particular cat of interest slept, she was careful in her movements. doing this every night you could almost say she was an expert. as if by instinct she slowed her breathing, taking deep yet quiet breaths. dancing around the bedding and stalking around the body that laid in the center of the humid den. staring at him with wide, searching eyes she would wait like this for the remainder of the night. observing his chest rising and falling, his whiskers twitching and his dreams forcing his body to jolt. she huddled into a ball just a few inches away from him, taking in his sweet smell and warmth that radiated off him. droplets collected above them dropped occasionally, plopping onto the damp rock floor below, one falling atop her head.

after a while her eyes began to weigh, her head began to bobble and she caught herself attempting to sleep. a crunch from the outside alerted her ears in its direction and made her leg muscles tighten. cursing herself internally she watched the shadow hover around the den entrance. what would she say? there was only so much room where she could hide in here. maybe she should dart out? hopefully unseen? no she wouldn't run.

as soon as the shadow came, it dissipated. she exhaled sharply, grateful. the russian blue stood to her now shaky legs and carefully peered outside. the sight of a straggly and thin elder stalking back to the elders den soothed her mind. taking one last look at her sleeping lover she then began her venture back to her own sleeping quarters. finally huddled up in her nest she curled her tail around her body and once more she would fall asleep dreaming about the memories they would never make.
