Padding softly, Lumi looked out at the fading sky. This was probably her favorite time of the day, when the sun began its slow descent towards the horizon. Her white fur turned a pinkish orange every time, and it was nice feeling the last bit of warmth wash over her before the cool of night set in. But it would still be a little while before that happened; she still had some time to keep moving, going towards a destination that she didn’t even know of yet.

But that was just how life was for a young female cheetah; go where the wind takes you, live every moment to its fullest. At least, that’s how it was for her. And she was so absorbed in that idea that anything else really kind of frightened her. Sure, she’d seen others settle down, start a family; but that just wasn’t the life for her. Not now, anyway.

Putting a slight bounce back in her step, she kept going, only pausing every once in a while to gaze at the lowering sun.

Crouching in the grass, Tsubame was hoping to catch one last meal before the night came. She didn’t enjoy hunting in the dark all that much, mostly because she wasn’t the best hunter in the first place. She was a thin, lean cheetah, but not exactly by choice; her luck in hunting had caused her to function off of low amounts of food, mostly the occasional hare that she could snatch.

Her poor hunting abilities were probably due to the fact that she never really had much of a proper up-bringing; her mother lazed around while her exhausted father brought a meal every once in a while. But it was also her own fault for not trying to improve them much as she grew. She was still young, though, so there was time to learn a few new tricks. Otherwise she’d just have to do what her mother did and rely on someone else her entire life. And that just seemed far too stationary for her liking.

Keeping still, Tsubame got her hopes up a bit with the sound of something coming close. Unfortunately, it was just another, like her, which meant no food for her. Oh well, it’s not like she was really counting on this last-ditch effort. But maybe this other cheetah would know of a food source, a herd movement – or just ease her boredom for the time being.

Keeping her movements fairly quiet, Lumi’s ears shot up in surprise when she accidentally stepped on a small stick. It snapped beneath her paw, and she looked down at it, a bit dumbfounded. She usually moved like a ghost, gliding seamlessly through the tall grass. That’s why it was such a shock when she finally made some kind of sound. Though it didn’t really mattered, if she thought about it; cheetahs were the fastest things out there, so she could out-run any threat.

But, she was flustered now, and what didn’t help that at all was the fact that she could now smell someone else nearby. Well, this evening was turning sour fairly quickly. Squinting her eyes and keeping her ears erect, she stood perfectly still, waiting for the other creature to come out of hiding and approach her; or, she was ready to start flat-out running if she needed to.
