I had no idea where I was. It was so easy to get lost in such a large, new place, and I had done it. I had gotten lost. Here I am, stumbling through the large expanse of a forest, with absolutely no clue where I had ventured off to. I was just letting my thin black, white, and red legs carry me wherever they may. As I look around, I can see nothing but giant trees, but it isn't long before the hushed racing of a distant river reaches me. I can tell it will be only a few minutes away if I sprint. Picking up my pace a good bit, I wind through the trees, petite paws barely making a thud on the floor, almost as if I has hovering, although I knew I could do no such thing. My ears stayed thin against my head as my jet like body screamed across the forest floor.
In a few minutes time, I found the trees to be more scattered, and the rushing of the water had increased in sound. My feet slowed, as I took in my surroundings, shortly finding a trail leading to a cleared out area, with a recent scent of a male. Perfect. Deciding it best to follow the trail, I avoided making noise, or brushing against plants to leave too much of a scent. I wasn't running from anything or hunting, it just came naturally. I was always light footed, and silent. As I stepped gingerly into the open area, I found my eyes immediately locked on the snowy bodice of the male who had left his stench on the trail, and I silently inched forwards. He was rested against a tree, so I neared his rump, staying behind the tree as I extended my neck and skull towards him. My nose hovered just centimeters from his pelt as I inhaled sharply, nostrils working at his aroma. He was alone.
I figured he would be calm, consider in that he was resting, so I paced around to the frontal side of him. Stopping and taking a few steps back, I sat down, just a few steps away. I wanted to see how he reacted to my prescence before speaking.
