Under the Moonlight
If any of you readers happen to like this little collection/series please tell me. Heck, even if you want to tell me I'm a sick freak for supporting the pairing. I would appreciate it.
His eyes never moved from her as the group slowly slipped into the land of dreams and the fire died down to just little embers flickering around the burned husks of wood. With the air suddenly silent he pushed himself forward slowly, crawling with front paws as he slid in the snow.
When her form shifted he stopped already halfway to the camp, though the lack of a fire and the thick canopy overhead made it impossible for the light of the moon to cut through and give away his location.
He stayed stone still, much like the White Witch's victims as he watched her get up and start into the forest. His tail wagged slowly, there was only one reason any of them would go into the surrounding trees and behind bushes. It was a perfect oppurtunity to get her.
Skirting along the camp he pushed through the undergrowth, following her trail, swiping away the prints of her shoes and his paws with his tail as he went.
It didn't take very long for him to locate her as she was heading back to the camp now. Puffing out his fur to look all the more menacing he stepped forward onto a branch, breaking it loudly enough for her to hear.
Her form in the darkness stopped and he could smell the fear that rolled off of her.
He stepped forward again, keeping low to the ground as he purposely made noise as he walked toward her. Seeing her stumble back against a tree he growled, the final task that sent her running in any other direction than him, and therefore away from the camp.
Just like he had planned.
With her scent being the only thing here and tainted with fear it was easy to keep up with her, slowly directing her further where he could bark without being heard by anyone but her.
Another series of barks and growls sent her tumbling into a stream when she tripped over a rock in her haste to get away.
With a triumphant growl he leaped forward to tackle her in the cold water.
