Celia woke up with a yawn, blinked, and looked around. It seemed that Cody had gone exploring or something, he wasn't in the den. Joy was prancing around, chasing a large dragonfly near the den.
She sure was a hyper Volpe sometimes.
The sun was high in the sky, so she had woken up just in time to go hunt some lunch.
"Hey, Joy, everything okay?" she asked her sister.
"You betcha Cil, this dragonfly's really hard to catch though" Joy replied, sighing. "But I'll keep trying, I just gotta see those sparkly wings up close!"
Celia chuckled. She remembered when she was as young as Joy, only a year or so ago, and when she used to chase butterflies and dragonflies. She loved Joy, even though they weren't actually related, they were sisters in another way.
"Hey Joy, do you by any chance want to go hunt some lunch with me?"
"Not today Celia, I'd rather catch this dragonfly" the little one replied.
So Celia headed off in search of something yummy for lunch.
She figured Cody wouldn't be back for sometime... her and Joy would probably eat lunch together.
The valley was a wonderful place for catching prey and scavenging for berries. Everything was abundant, from the chubby hares to the sweet, ripe berries. Sometimes you could even find wild vegetables. Joy, Cody, and herself weren't too picky about what to eat.
As she made her way out of the den and waved goodbye to Joy, she thought about what to bring how today. If she was lucky enough to find some veggies, she could bring home those and some kind of protein. Perhaps a fish from a small creek she had found while exploring.
She just had to make sure she didn't venture too deep. She'd heard stories about Volpes that did so, and never came back.
She shuddered at the thought.
Surely that wouldn't happen to her...
