Phoenix Maplewood i'm not throwing away my shot

Okay, so sorry!

Laika dipped her head in a smile, turning on her heels to trot back into the depths of the forest. Her blue eyes wandered along the frozen landscape, wondering when it would be filled with with bird's songs and bees buzzing about the abundance of flowers. 

She sniffed the air for any signs of prey, but so far, the breeze carried cold emptiness. she huffed and moved on, paws crunched the thin layer of snow. She couldn't smell Ukko or Reek any longer, and knew she was far enough away, that maybe the small critters would be out and about, undisturbed by the wolves talking. 

She found a frozen brook. The water had formed into jagged daggers, almost looking unnatural. That's when she heard some scratching off to the right. A leaf shifted. The small, fur-less tail appeared and Laika dropped into a stealthy, silent crouch. Her hunt had begun once again.
