Aidan licked her lips slowly as she knelt in the thick underbrush, her eyes locked on the rabbit not a few feet from her, nearly invisible with its white fur against the snow. It was only her keen sense of smell that had alerted her to its presence in the first place and now here she was crouched in the snow, only remotely aware of the dampness that had formed where her knee touched the snow. She did not know why she was not in her wolf form at the moment, there had been plenty of time for her to change but she had chosen not to; something in her wanted to hunt in her human form. Her breath puffed out in a thin must before her face as her eyes took on a more golden hue as the wolf in her wanted out yet she kept it in check, just beneath the surface giving her that extra surge of power.<br/><br/>The whole forest was alive to her as she stood in perfect stillness, her body focused on the rabbit but also on the area around her. The steady dripping of some water from the snow on the branches over head. A bird grooming itself beside the snow covered branch oblivious to the dangerous predator crouch beneath its tree. Her fingers not even noticing the sting cold of the snow as she knelt there, the cold in general nothing more the a minor annoyance to her at the moment. The rabbit's ear twitched, her fangs sprouted as her body tensed waiting for the moment, that perfect moment when....there!! The rabbit shot off like a bullet and Aidan was hot on its heal a snarl coming from her throat as her arms pumped in time to her legs which were moving in a blur to keep up with fast prey.<br/><br/>The rabbit dodged to the left making a ninety degree turn causing Aidan to have to grab onto a tree trunk to use it as a means of swinging herself after it. Heart beating loud and steady in her ears as the world slowed down, her body getting in tune to the rabbit's. Stride for stride her body mimicked the rabbit's rhythm until they were sync perfectly into a beautiful dance of death. Aidan was now panting with excitement as she gained on the rabbit her vision becoming tunneled as she zeroed in on the rabbit, who had one last trick up its sleeve. It made that sharp turn again only this time Aidan was too slow to react in time and she realized that the ground had disappeared from beneath her. All too suddenly the sound of rushing water hit her, finally able to break through her focus and give answer to that nagging that had been at the back of her mind. Instinctively she drew her knees to her chest as fell toward the water below.<br/><br/>*Splash* She hit the fridge id water that took the breath from her with its cold. Opening her eyes she looked about the darkness her hair floating about her like a dark curtain. Eyes going up to the light she kicked hard for the surface, anger and disappointed in herself helping to heat her against the cold. She breaks the surface near the waters edge, only now she was a very wet and unhappy wolf. Dragging her water logged fur covered body from the water she shook herself so that most of the water left her body, then took off at a trot back to the cave; hoping that someone had a fire going because she was going to have dry out a bit before she returned to her human form. Despite the turn of events the day still looked fairly positive so there was a bit of a skip in her step as she made her way back to the cave.
