A/N- You decide.

Unbeknownst to him, someone, something, was stalking him in the depths of the shadows that consumed half of the area. Silently, with both grace and power, it followed him, waiting for the right moment to reveal its presence. It could not be too soon; it wanted a challenge, and not too late; a challenge it wanted, but one it could win.
Unbeknownst to it, the man was constantly on guard, ready for anything at any exact moment. It was his duty to do so, and his job to look out for anything suspicious. He was trained to observe any difference in movement, sound, or smell, his senses keen and ready to react.
Then, out of the shadows it leapt, pouncing upon the man, roaring ferociously, knocking him off balance. The two hit the ground with a thud. And then… they laughed.
"I got you, dad!" the little boy said, laughing, to his father underneath him.
A/N- Betcha never woulda thunk it.
