Making this AW!
The wisp found herself this eventide at a lake, but it was by no means a peaceful place. There were a myriad of sounds in the air, all of them having to do with… beavers. Evening stopped at the water’s edge and stared at the bustle of activity around her, all centered around one humongous dam. This must be Beaver City! she thought to herself, her pink eyes widening in surprise at the sheer amount of large rodents swimming in the lake and crawling all over the place. She should not have been this surprised, though. She had heard and smelled them coming from some ways off, but she just… wasn’t expecting this many of them!
Her stomach rumbled as she looked on, reminding her of her constant hunger. She hadn’t been so lucky with hunting lately and her energy stores were rapidly leaving. She needed one of these beavers if she was going to last ’til summer. And there were plenty of them to choose from. In fact, the large number of beavers seemed to make them less afraid of her. Perhaps they thought that there was safety in numbers. Or maybe so many wolves passed through here that they were desensitized to the predators? No matter the case, Evening was determined to catch one.
Recklessly, the albino chased the nearest beaver with zero warning to indicate her actions, hoping the sudden movement would catch it off guard. Unfortunately, it caught onto her rather quickly and slipped into the water with ease. Evening skidded to a halt, not wanting to take a swim right now, and stared after it dejectedly. The other beavers around her scuttled farther away, too, which would make further hunting more difficult.
Feeling as though she would now be wasting her time if she tried to hunt anymore beavers, she squared her shoulders and moved on.
Exit.

I will exit a thread after 10 days of no reply. Feel free to do the same.
