Subject: " So this is the hardest place to catch food?!"

* Babi is standing near the swampy ground, willing to test her skills.*
" I think I'll go and try to catch something..."
* With that she jumps to a less muddy part of the swamp like ground and looks around, her ears perched up and her nose gracefully sniffing the air. She needs to test her skills, she won't leave until she has caught some game.*
" Aha!"
* She spots a white blur and sees a rabbit in the distance. She carefully aproaches him, trying the most not to be seen nor heard. She's like a silvery, silent shadow, lurking around. Suddenly she leaps, jumping to the rabbit.*
" Agh!"
* She lost it. The rabbit's running really fast, she goes after him, almost catching up with it. But, suddenly, he disappears! She's not familiar with those tricky grounds and she falls in the swamp, trying to swim and only getting heavier.*
" I... Must... Get out..!"
* Leaves, twigs, mudd and dirt grab her, stick to her silky fur, get inside her mouth. It's hard but she finnaly gets out, pawing madly at the dirt waters. She straightens up and looks at herself. She never cared much for her looks but she feels dirty and wet. She decides:"
" After I catch something, I'm going to get rid of this dirt!"
* Again, she sniffs the air and listens attently, eyes scanning the area... She sees nothing. She has a tinge of disappointment on her sad, green and gray eyes. But she shooks her head.*
" This is the toughest place to get, if you're lucky, scarce game... So, I shouldn't be so disappointed so soon!"
* She goes back to watching, hearing and sensing. Quite some time later she starts crawling, very close to the earth... She saw something. A few feets away a new rabbit, a black one, stands inocently eating some grass. It looks around with sweet blue eyes, not knowing that he's going to become a wolf's dinner.*
" Stay still..."
* The silver wolf mutters under her breath. As if obeying, the rabbit doesn't move, chewing his leaves merrily. A few seconds later, the rabbit sees himself trapped by two strong claws, not knowing how it happened. Babi holds the black thing in her paws, smiling, sadly as usual, to herself.*
" I think I was pretty fast... Maybe I'm not such a bad hunter after all..."
* She then looks down at her pray, who looks back at her with scared, sweet, blue eyes. She says to herself:*
" No, I'm not a good hunter..."
* A few moments later when a dirty silver wolf is leaving the Hunters' Island a balck furry rabbit chews on some leaves, relieved."
