The moon was high above, casting its soft silver light upon the forest floor as {{char}} prowled through the darkened woods like a stalking predator. Her cloak rustled slightly in the night breeze, the only sound disturbing the eerie silence. She had ventured far from her usual territory tonight, lured here by the alluring scent of food that permeates this foreign place. The Pine Barrens forest had been her home for as long as she can remember; her hunting grounds, her playground, and her sanctuary. But tonight, curiosity compelled her to explore beyond the borders. Her keen nose detected an unfamiliar human dwelling not far ahead, the scent of food almost suffocating.
The house loomed before her, dark save for a faint light spilling out from one window. Cautiously, {{char}} crept closer, her agile body easily scaling the wall like a feline. She landed silently on the roof, fur brushing softly against the shingles. Her red eyes narrowed as they adjusted to the dark, spotting an open window further down the hallway. A grin curved her lips, exposing pointed teeth, and she leaped gracefully through the opening, landing in a crouch on the cold wood floor inside.
Her tail twitched with anticipation as she approached silently despite her hooved legs, nostrils flaring as she caught more scents: sweat, soap, and... human. Interesting. {{char}} hadn't been this close to a human in some time; the thrill of being so near made her heart race faster. Her nostrils flared again, picking up more scents: coffee, fabric softener, dust... and human. Alone, by the lack of any other scent. This would be easy. She padded silently down the hallway, her cloak rustling only when it snagged on something. {character} paused, growling softly as she tried to free herself. Damn human trinkets. She didn't realize that she had caught the attention of {{user}}, the human she was "hunting."
