A lithe form slinked through the pristine snow, her paws going numb from the constant unbridling unsuccessful search of prey. Being an experienced hunter now, PigeonEye knew that this was no small dilemma, but an ominous sign. She and a hunting party of three warriors had been sent out to hunt hours ago, and yet still, the terrain seemed barren, devoid of a stable amount of prey to feed their clan. The she-cat shivered and paused for a moment to survey they area, her fellow clan-mates halted and watched her with weary appearances, each thin and poignant. PigeonEye ignored them, an unshattered defiance and determination to serve her clan burning within her. If they did not bring back food when they returned, why return anyway. She was willing to die for her clan, even if she would die for a cause that might be remembered as pitiful foolhardy stubbornness.
"PigeonEye." A raw voice intruded her thoughts. "We should turn back and report to our clan. We've done all we could to..."
"Turn back then, return with the pitful news without taking action beforehand. I'm sure the kits would love to hear it from their role models, their guardians even? To hear that they themselves couldn't retrieve a single item of food for their growing famine?" She turned to the warrior who spoke, head lifted defiantly. He backed

"Scatter! I'll help her!" A dark brown tom crept towards the she-cat, the ice splintering beneath him. Having full faith in the tom, PigeonEye fled towards the shore, another warrior close behind. There on the banks of the lake, they panted, exhausted. Both of them hoped for the best as they looked across the lake at the two still in peril. PigeonEye felt guilt overwhelm her as she watched the pair, and that defiance within her vanished. Only an empty fatigue remained, she then wanted to return
Jessime said nothing as he heeded his masters commands. The boy climbed to his feet, a little wobbly at first but he regained his stance. As his master walked to the well, Jessime moved through the front entrance to get to the hog. He prepared the pig for them to eat again by stripping the left over meat and dropping it in the second well bucket that was left by the fire over night. Next the boy proceeded to grab his shirt and unstitch his other shirt sleeve, now he had a sleeveless shirt, perfect for the dry climate. After he carefully removed the thread from his shirt he grabbed a wood splinter and refined it with his dagger making a makeshift needle. Jessime grabbed the hog hide near by and began to diligently sew it into a hide sack. After
1. I would put myself in the place of the man on the horse he looks like he could be the leader, so the leader.

1. A large amount of construction and building work was going on in the city. Unfortunately for the people, construction meant delays, but all for a good end result. “Construction delays elsewhere on the grounds were especially frustrating” (pg 167) Chicago is booming with new buildings and constructions sights everywhere. This quote shows the work of construction that is all over the city.
Negative- an aggressive and critical manner to give a speech to a group of people, with the purpose to convince them to do what they want them to do.
Chapter 1 A young woman appears out of nowhere and quickly catches up to another who's dashing along a moonlit lane. "Are we late?" She asks as she falls into step besides the older woman. "No not yet, but we need to hurry, we don't have much time." "Follow me," the older woman replies, and her dark cloak billows about casting shadows on the high stone walls that border the lane. They walked side by side in silence for a long ways and then through a set of huge iron gates swung opened before them and onto a narrow driveway. A manor house grew out of the darkness at the end of the straight drive, lights glinting in the windows. Gravel crackled beneath their feet as speeding toward the front door, which swung inward at their approach, though
In the story she repeatedly converses with herself and interacts with the nature around her. She is warning away the animals and is expressing the pain she feels in her weary bones. During her trip she encounters many obstacles that make her express her courage
“So how is this supposed to help me again?” [Name] drawled, her eyes slowly detaching from the giant bird towering above her and locking on Genos.
"Big sis's! Come here the bad guys are dead so why don't we feast on them before the reinforcements arrive." Erza had gotten up and walked cautiously to her
Encompassing him were what looked like hundreds of oily, pitch black ravens angling their heads towards him like he was their next meal. Boden gawked at them as he slowly retreated to the edge of the clearing towards the lanky trees, but the ravens perceived this and all as one went screaming through the air towards him. “Skwah! Cah cah! Skwah!” the birds screeched at Boden sounding like a thousand cats dragging their claws down a blackboard. And then, like a cloud swirling feathers and jabbing beaks, the birds rocketed towards Boden. They poked and prodded at him with their monstrous, yellow tinted beaks pecking at anything they could. Boden staggered around, blinded from the birds that encompassed him in their tornado of fringe, fumbling for anything he could use to get the birds to distance themselves from him. As Boden lurched around with one arm desperately swatting at the birds and the other extended in front of him searching this barren land for something, anything, that could help him get away from this atrocious throng of birds his foot tripped on a piece of uprooted dirt and tumbled down to the ground and felt his scratched face land into a puddle of water that calmed him enough to remind him that he could “meanwhile’ out of this detestable place. So, with ambition to get out of this horrid place he stuck his finger into the puddle, swathed it on the bottom of the puddle to get some mud and
She looked up at Kialsi's ears, then down at her tail, she seemed to be hyperventilating, before she turned and ran off into the night. Kialsi frowned. Huh. She shrugged and then turned to Leon, kneeling down next to him. [color=#964B00]"You need to be careful."[/color] She scolded, [color=#964B00]"I know that as a brigade you don't usually go to many different worlds, but things are different right now. You need to stay calm and consider where you are before running off." [/color]She helped him pick up the fish and broken wood. As Kialsi knelt there next to the red head she suddenly realized what that thick scent was. It was the smell of blood. Her stomach lurched as she looked up, suddenly pale, before she gave a hard shake of her head. This place had blood rituals, she should have expected to smell blood here. But the crude scent was pushing memories into her, Kialsi did her best to keep her hands from shaking as she stood and put the fish onto the
This shows us to what extent she is ready to go to achieve her goal. She also tries to convince the antelope that they shouldn’t hold hatred towards each other, especially when “liberation is within our reach” (Vaughan n.p.). Her internal goal, which is of most importance to her, is to feel free and
The next morning she woke to the song of birds in the woods after a fitful sleep of disturbing dreams. A white gauzy mist had risen from the creek and hung in the air around the camp. Conesteago came to where she was and untied her arms from the pole across her back. She flexed and stretched them to try to ease the aches and tightness of being tied like that for the night. Ina picked up Christopher who was now awake, and carried him back to the lean-to camp. In a hoarse whisper she anxiously asked Amelia, as soon as she saw her, if she was alright. Amelia had slept a little she said, but she had been very cold too because her clothes also had not dried. Conesteago and Shomachsom hadn't started a campfire last night, but instead alternated watches
Aizen rested his head against his lightly curled fist, “No, if my people need to blow off a bit of steam then who am I to stop them? Besides this may be a chance to give Soul Society a taste of what my army can do.”
Kieron looked incredulous. "What?! The naries can go take care of themselves. How do you that we won't be the ones getting killed? That pinhead threatened me in the forest."
