Swiftcurrent Creek sweeper

Possible joining thread? :D

Her paws were a blur, appearing to barely even hit the ground as Pukei raced after the panicked creature – a rabbit, baited out of hiding and startled into chase. Begrudgingly, she knew she had little hope of catching it, but the opportunity had presented itself quite suddenly, and she was not about to let it pass her by without at least an honest attempt.

They had been racing along the riverside, headed towards a lake, until the rabbit had suddenly darted to the left, and Pukei followed suit, tail flying wildly in the air as she spun on her heel. Her prey stumbled, and her heart leapt into her throat as she managed to gain an advantage. She was so close! With a rush of renewed energy, she surged forward with a flying leap, hungry jaws peeling open...only for them to close around nothing but her own tongue and a mouthful of fluff.

The girl staggered to a unceremonious halt, coughing and spitting out the fur as she watched the creature disappear into the trees, her tongue beginning to throb in pain. "Ah, fthuck 'ou!" The muddled curse fell from her mouth in a rare show of frustration. Not only had the rabbit escaped her grasp, but she only now noticed the thick tang of wolf scent on the nearby trees – the rabbit had disappeared into pack territory, and she wasn't about to risk her life to go after it.

Her tail lashed as she stared after it with a pout, blood beginning to trickle from her mouth. Good riddance then; it could get torn apart by the pack for all she cared!

EDIT, I can't believe I wrote Pukei doing the exact same thing as Ancelin did lmao
