Spoken from the Heart

@Shadow


Leila snuggled deeper into the thorny plant that she allowed to house her from the world. Though sleeping in a rose bush had many Hurts, she only felt a few, through her constantly moving in the bush, dulling them down. The perks were the Smell Nice of the crimson flowers. A soft Happy for her nose.

It was her tummy that protested against her continuing her sleep. Again, it was empty. And again, it demanded she be the one to fill it. So groggily the fair youth rose and walked directly out of the bush, following the hidden little path she made from hours of walking back and forth across the path.

As if on cue, a large hare bounded across the field, a few yards from where she was. Instinct took over her little frame, quite visibly, for she went from standing up right, to nearly flat across the ground, and down wind from the large bunny.

Leila focused on the prey, and inched along, trying her hardest to submerge her pale pelt in the tall, thick grasses. As her soft pads refused to make any noise, and the soft grass said nothing, the little girl waited until she was right behind the chocolate shaded mammal, then reared up, aimed, and paralyzed it by striking it's spine with her hard fore limbs. With a barely audible crunch to let her know she was successful, the 6 month old beauty began to eat her meal, unaware of anyone who could have seen what had just happened.
