Yara felt like it had been days since she'd taken a rest, though it had only been since yesterday. Last night had simply not felt like far enough away from her past, and she was enjoying the chance to really stretch her muscles and run as far and fast as her body would allow. The sights, the sounds, the smells that blew by her as she sprinted headlong into the night, chasing the sun, had invigorated her enough to ignore sore paws and rumbling belly.
Eventually, though, she could wait no longer, and she drew to a stop in an open plain. She could smell something in the grass. Prey animals, though not nearby. A chill wind blew by, and from upwind came the faint sound of splashing. She turned into it, trotting forward in search of whatever water might be available to drink. Her mouth felt awfully dry, and perhaps she'd find something just as tired as her that would be easy to catch. Anything would be better than the garbage she'd eaten yesterdat.
