Today in particular had been agonizingly boring for the silver she-cat who lay in front of her den, soaking in as much of the sun's rays as she could. It was nearing sunhigh, and she'd already gone on her only patrol for the day. She hadn't an apprentice to train, so there was truly nothing to do. Silversky stood, stretching out each limb individually before trotting out of the camp, slinking around in an attempt to get out unnoticed. The sprawling birch forests lay ahead of her, and the corners of her mouth tugged up a bit. Maybe she could go exploring the territories for a bit. If she were caught, she would excuse herself as merely "familiarizing herself with the territory," though she already knew it like the back of her paw.
After one last stretch, she bounded off into the forest, a few fox-lengths in before her short burst of speed left her catching her breath. She glanced around at the birch trees surrounding her, and decided to ascend one of the trees and jump from one to the other. She approached one, circled it, and then hooked her claws, climbing it with relative ease. Silversky heaved herself onto one of the branches and scanned the forest around her. Nobody was there to see her, so she counted that as a good thing.
Although something knotted in her stomach, she padded delicately to the end of the branch and leaped, a flying sensation pumping adrenaline through her veins. She landed on the next tree effortlessly. She decided to defy her fear -- another attempt to get over her fear, and climbed up the wiry-branched birch tree. Once she got as high as the branches would let her, she stopped, catching her breath yet another time. She made the all-too-often-made mistake of looking down, and realized just how high she had actually gone. Her fur prickled with unease, her breath short as she looked around the territory, seeing nothing but the endless trees that eventually led to the ocean.
Her fear of heights and loneliness hit her like a Twoleg monster, sending her shuddering helplessly in the tree. This was the second time she made that mistake. Silversky could only hope she was found.
