    (OOC: Um, what is the thing they're tracking?)


    The tom proceeded forward, ears pricked, and jaws slightly agape. However, the recent rain was throwing off his senses, I hope whatever this thing is, it isn't dangerous.

    ooc: Hmm, well I'm not sure.. you got any ideas?


    ic:


    Ebonysoul kept walking still trying to figure out what exactly the scent was.

    (OOC: Maybe a fox or a badger...where they live, it's hard for it to be anything else...or maybe a dog? Up to you)


    Whatever it was, they were making ground, but it was travelling the same way they were, and it would take twice as long to catch up to it since they were being cautious. It's gotta take a rest sometime.

    ooc: How 'bout a fox?


    ic:


    Ebonysoul stopped dead in her tracks. "Uh oh..." She trailed off smelling again just to be sure of what it was.

    Desertwind looked back to Ebonysoul, "what is-?" He cut himself off, hearing a loud snarling, and slowly turned his head, seeing a fox staring at them only a few tail-lengths away. "Back away slowly..." The tom whispered, and waited for either her or the fox to make a move before he did.

    Ebonysoul's eyes widened she backed away slowly her paw steps barley making a sound. She shivered, she was scared really scared what if the fox spotted them?!

    Desertwind followed closely behind, not taking his eyes off of the predator, we need to warn Scarredstar about this... Before they could get very far, the fox made its move, and started padding towards them just as fast as they were backing away. If this keeps up... "Okay, on my count...we run...ready?"

    Ebonysoul nodded, "Ready." Although she wasn't ready she was horrified. But she knew she would have to run.

    "One..." The fox broke into a trot, and Desertwind found himself pushing backwards as hard and fast as he could. "Two..." It was nearly on them now, and Desertwind made a complete turn, in the direction of camp, "THREE!"

    [justify]Ebonysoul's eyes widened as the fox got closer. He nodded waiting for him to say three, she prepared herself getting ready to spin around and run for camp. When he finally said three, she spun around and bolted heading in the direction of camp. She continued running as fast as she possibly could, not wanting to fox to catch up to them.[/justify]

    Luckily, they were WindClan cats, and as soon as they got close to camp, the fox paused and hesitated for a moment. Desertwind skidded to a halt, "it must scent all of the other cats, so I think we're safe." He meowed, his sides heaving and trying to suck in as much air as he could.
