scouting thread
Even if the pups had been through here, the rain had washed away any tracks or scents. Niita had huddled in the remains of a bush while it had rained, the driest place she could find in the mostly open field. Now as she surveyed the western side, earthworms wriggling across the mud, Niita could find neither hide nor hair of them.
As she began to head home, Niita came across a raven pecking at the worms. Licking her chops, Niita lowered herself and moved to pounce but as usual; her luck was lacking. Instead of snagging a tasty lunch, Niita face-planted in the mud. The bird flapped away, croaking in what, to Niita, sounded like a laugh.
Pulling herself from the mud, Niita glared at the bird as it flew away safely.
Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high -- except for the one who held the keys to the gate.
