Firefly Glen Copacabana

It took all of the pup's energy to avoid making a sound as she prowled alongside the two adults. Bronco had mentioned ambushing their prey from every side, which likely meant they would separate at some point. But Meerkat hardly gave it any thought, simply trying her best to be silent and stealthy. It was harder than it looked on the surface, with the long grasses rustling on all sides.

More than once, she broke the silence in one way or another and immediately froze, giving her two companions a sheepish glance. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest. She wondered if they were getting close. Meerkat hoped so. She didn't want to spoil the hunt by prematurely spooking these partridges from their cover.
