The sun was was high in the sky as I was walking towards my hutning grounds deep in the district. I was walking in he shaded shadows of the trees. I was nearly a shadow myself, not making a sound, any move that could reveal me to future prey.
My hunting boots were tredding lightly over the soft ground under foot. I had my bow in one hand always ready, and the other hand was leaning towards my quiver full of arrows ready to take one out at a moments notice. The leathery fabric of my "hunting outfit" as my mother called it swished lightly against my thighs.
I have really got to get out of the house before she notices what I'm wearing. "Oh wear this cute little dress Jessamine dear, all the girls your age are wearing them on THEIR hunting trips" "Pants are SO passe for someone as pretty as you, they make you look more boyish and poor looking". Like she knows what other girl hunters my age wears, the only thing she wants me to catch is a husband. This friggen deer-hude dress made me feels o overdressed. If only I could be in my theft wear, my black cargo pants and tanktop, I would be so much happier and I could hope to catch something bigger than a rabbit. This dress wouldn't allow me to climb or do anything that allowed me the good prey.
Though if I could get to my stash at my meadow I could change out of this ridulous outfit and into something more comfortable.
A cruch of leaves snapped me out of my thoughts. The noise was coming from an area of dense overgrowth to my left. I saw the branches and leaves rattle, and I got on edge. I estimated the size of whatever came out of this overgrowth would be big.
I quickly notched an arrow in my bow, and pointed it in the general direction of the noise. I held my breath and waited for whatever it was to emerge.
