Cedar Sweep Tree Side Acquaintance [Hviske]

A feeling of pride washed over him momentarily as he correctly identified the rabbit's trail. Perhaps he had been happy with his nose for the first time in a while. As it wasn't over yet, any celebration did not occur.

Hviske's slender muzzle soon rested over the entrance to the burrow, tail resting straight behind him. His eyes were focused solely on the gap in front of him. His body seemed to grow still, crouching and each breath a choice made at a time when the busy rabbit below was darting around and distracted. 

The tip of his snout twitched, his ears honing in on the sounds under the surface. In his mind's eye, the yearling could almost visualize the rabbit, hopping around, unaware of its fate lurking just above. 

He waited, and watched - until the fluffy creature poked its pink nose from its hole. Hviske stifled a small gasp, but the rabbit didn't seem to notice. It was still just outside of its home, too close to pounce, but carefully stepping forward - almost - almost- 

A grey muzzle parted over its neck, fangs clamping around it and snapping its neck. 

Hviske looked at Creed, the rabbit dangling from his jaws and tail wagging fiercely.
