Hunting (Open)

[Sapphire]

7th Day of Winter

Sapphire awoke early in the morning and she was so hungry she knew that a whole giraffe wouldn't be enough to satisfy the beast raging in her stomach. She quickly stood, her bright orange fur glistened in the light. The black stripes stood out on her fur, and it made her wonder if she was really a normal animal. She had seen lions, cheetahs, wolves, and things that really frightened her, but never had she seen something that looked like her. The only thing that allowed her the relief of knowing she wasn't some monster made by the Valterrian, was that she knew she was a Kelvic. Kelvics were an average race known by almost all. So if she was a Kelvic then there was no way she could have been a monster too. Her thoughts were disrupted by a rustle in a nearby tree. She looked over to find a giraffe that had, unfortunately for it, failed to notice her. The situation had a hint of irony. She had had thoughts of eating a giraffe only moments before, and know there one was standing right in front of her. She watched it as it picked leaf after leaf off of the tree. Sapphire was overwhelmed with joy. She gotten breakfast in less than ten minutes after she had woken up! She stood and stalked the animal, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Today is gonna be a good day. She smiled to herself on the inside.
