Phoenix Maplewood A record year for rainfall

Laika sat up in her haunches once Reek had began talking. Yes. The plan was simple. But it was also not simple. So many things could go wrong before Reek, Spring, and herself could reach the deer. Her heart pounded with anxiety as she glanced at the wolves that were to chase and flank the deer. She had no doubt that they would try their best, and for that she was thankful. Reek had a very skilled lot, and with the present wolves, she felt sure their skills would lead them all to full bellies tonight. 

She stalked after Reek, beside Spring and she threw her friend and excited glance, her maw twisting into a lop-sided grin. Her tail was parallel to her spine, sticking straight out behind her like a rigid stick, careful not to make a sound as the trio neared their hideout. She crouched down low, white belly fur soaking in the cold snow melting from her heat. Her blue eyes were the only thing noticeable about her.

They had reached ther spot just in time, for Luna and Desna came tearing out of the trees, targeting the doe Reek had pointed out and had it running toward them. Tavi and Esaro were quick to follow, flanking the deer, but something was off about Esaro. His eyes were fixed on Tavi, not the deer! She growled under her breath at him, her eyes narrowing and silently snapping the words "concentrate on the deer, Esaro!" 

She shifted her weight, muscles tensing and ready to spring into action. Adrenaline began to flow through her veins, pumping her body wth energy. The hunt was controlling her every move and thought. It engulfed her in a wave of eager excitement. The white ear closest to Reek turned on its axis, angling towards the alpha. She awaited his call at her eyes resting upon the terrified die who was now growing nearer by the second.
