Now, radra had allways had an appetite but today she was exceptionally hungry for reasons she could not explain. Although her mate had migrated to alaska, she wished she could have followed but somthing had been wrong with her, and somthing was still wrong with her. Often she began to worry about days she was exceptionally hungry just like today. But for now she had one thing to worry about, food she felt famished. she focused her senses on the many scents of the tangling forest. though she was a wolf she still had to have a sense of focus. She opened her mouth widely and tasted the air sensing for a meer morsel. For she knew this winter would not be lived through easily, especially with her constant need for food.Wait a secound she thought I smell squierell, now where is it she thought hungrily.Then, she spotted it she quicly, hungrily crouched on the snow covered ground and waited for the squirell to come running out the bush. She also stayed alert, because thogh she was definatley an appex preditor she knew she could not go head to head with a mountain lion. suddenly there was movement in the bush just ahead of her. Instincitively she pouced the instant in tried to scurry off. After she was sure her large paws had a firm grip on the squirell, she grabbed the neck of the squirrell with her mouth, causing the punction wounds presently occupying the neck. radra felt the surge of blood not only chocking the squirell but that flowed like a quite tasty river into a cave, her mouth. After a little struggle the squirell went limp. She seemed to make short work of the squirell ,which she deeply regretted now that she was finished and still hungry. allthough she would have liked to hunt more, she could see the snow filled clouds approaching, she decided to try to hunt later, for rigjt now she neede to find shelter. radra looked around hydroely for anything that could be used as a shelter. she finally found what seemed to be a hollowed out log. although she would not be very comfortable but she remembered that comfort is a luxury not a neccesity. she swiftly squeezed herself into the log. she knew she couldn't curl up so their was no Iliad in trying. she rested her muzzle gently on her forepaws and tucked her back legs under her stomach. after what seemed like forever she drifted to sleep.
the next day was unseasonably warm but radra did not mind. she actually enjoyed it. she wanted to look for breakfast but she felt lazy. she also had to look for her sister railyn before she went looking for food. they had been adorested in a avalanche not even three days back. radra was getting ansy. after letting her eyes adjust to the unseasonably sunny day she set out to find her sister. Raiylin was still a pup and she would be very pleasently surprised if her sister was still OK. she tasted the air trying to make sure that her sister was not here lately. she caught her scent but it was stale. she felt dissapointed and more worried. she decided to her self that she didn't care how long it took but that she would find her sister or die trying . she was walking the forest when she caught a familiar smell it was Raiylin ! equity a decline she thought there is another scent. a mountain lion! she started running along the event trail hoping and praying her sister was alright. then the trail when cold. no no no she thought panicking where's the scent? ! she was becoming despritesc. she whimpered and started running through the forest hoping to find the trail again. yes she thought she had picked it back up! she began sprinting through and she couldn't wait to see her sister! the trail was fresh she thought suddenly excited! out of nowhere somthing had landed on her back and she hit her stomach with a lot of pain. she whipped around trying to see what the hell though they were going to get away with jumping in her like that! she whipped around claws extended to slash at the createds nose splattering blood on the snow. she looked at her attacker all hairs raised . It was railyn! guilt churned within radra. a low growl came from railyn replaced by shock and terror.
" why would you do that radra ?!" she exclaimed blood still dripping off her nose.
"I'm sorry!" radra cried her words laced with emotion.
railyn shook her head slowly her gaze softening "Do not be sorry radra I should not have scared you like that. "
" Yes you should not have I thought you were a mountain lion. "
