Redhawk Caldera Carpe diem

As she neared the Blackthorns' den, the rufous fur on Wildfire's neck suddenly prickled. She stopped, then looked over her shoulder. Her amber eyes swept the landscape but she saw nothing. Why did she feel like someone was watching her? She faced forward and took a step, yet she couldn't shake the feeling. Wildfire stopped again, then turned in a circle, giving her surroundings a 360° sweep with eyes, ears and nose.

The sensation persisted and eventually prompted the youth to narrow her eyes and whisper loudly, "Who's out there?" She felt sort of silly—hence why she whispered rather than shouted—and did not expect to receive an answer.
