A soft chuckle could be heard as she darted off. His eyes followed every movement she made. He could smell her clearly even if she managed to elude his sight. The shadows of the night closed in around him, sealing off any visble part of his appearance, cloaking him witha second layer of black material... the night itself. With the stealth of a cheetah he followed her, his aura hidden as well as his form.
Perched high on a branch above where she had finally stopped his beady eyes peered over, through the lush canopy. He was keeping a close eye on this one. He didn't know why this pityful creature instilled such interest in him. But his mind would not allow the question, let alone an answer within its walls.
He was careful not to slip up, not to make any sound. He stayed downwind as not to be smelled. And both mentally and physically he was practically invisible.. Especially from someone with as much bloodlust and hunger as was apparant in her. He was sure he was undeteced as he was at her heel with every step she took, that lowly shadow peering over her shoulder.
Watching... Waiting... |
