Fox's Glade i had held it a world away

Piper’s breathing grew heavier as she tried to keep up with Mona. They seemed to race through the brush at a speed that she’d never known before, but the premise of finding the creature that she so longed to see was too much for her to cease her movement. She could feel her heart thrumming wildly in her chest, but the Redleaf girl did not slow down and she did not express her discomfort in their jaunt. There was something in the air that lured her forward.
 
When the two women finally passed through the brush and entered a clearing on the other side, the wildfire of a girl was stopped dead in her tracks by the glittering lights of the fireflies that danced around them. She drew her slender muzzle upward and peered delicately at their features, stretching out until she was only standing on her hind legs. She followed the glow of them until her eyes latched onto a pair of looming optics that sat in the dark just beyond where they stood. It was there that she froze and her breathing seemed to stop.
