Lightningfoot slipped through the trees, as silent as a rock. The wind blew through the leaves, rustling over and over. She watched as leaves floated past her head and back into the trees. She ducked and dodged them, testing her ability to move quickly. She sighed, as a leaf hit her head, and she fell over in mock defeat. She lifted herself up and decided to hunt instead.
She sniffed the air. Mouse and...rat! She turned to the mouse scent first. With a floating motion, she slid across the ground. There it was, nibbling on an acorn. She pounced, leaping through the air. It was dead before it could squeak. She smiled victoriously. With a few short gulps she gobbled it down.
Then Lightningfoot sniffed the air and slid across the ground. There was a rat here somewhere. She looked around once more, her eyebrows furrowed. She sniffed the air again. There was a rat here somewhere! Call yourself a hunter? She asked herself savagely. She tried again. The rat was too the northeast, she deduced. She padded swiftly that way through the trees.
She smiled happily when she saw a black and white rat at the roots of a tree. She slipped across the ground and pounced.
