Long legs carried my lean body through the trees, muscles rippling beneath my pelt. My ebony coat blending almost perfectly with the shadows created by the trees. If I held still, only my golden eyes would give away my position in the darkness. Raised slightly, my ears caught every sound in the trees around me, my sensitive nose caught every scent. I didn't notice anyone near me, so I decided to relax for a bit. My tail wagged slowly back and forth as I trotted onward; I wasn't really headed anywhere, it felt good just to move. As I moved farther into the trees, I slowed to a walk. My paws padded almost silently, just whispering over the soft dirt. I shook myself, my floppy ears whipping side to side. Cocking my head to the side I listened to the wind whisper through the trees, rustling the leaves. Glancing around, I trotted over to a large tree with roots snarling together above the ground. I picked my way under and around the roots 'till I found a comfortable little hollow, between the roots and the ground. I scratched the ground with my onyx claws, digging it a little deeper, before circling and laying down. Curled up, I fit almost perfectly there; and I was hidden, I would be able to see almost anyone who passed by from my spot. I crossed my paws and laid my head down on them then I closed my eyes and drifted off in a light sleep.
