A starless blanket covered the night when Laura came out of hiding. She smelled the fresh scent – a young blood. Her body reacted with her senses as the wind raced across her determined face. Her swift energy reflected the strength of her majestic body. In this form, she was a mistress of nature.
She found her prey, a juvenile deer lurking in the forest. Her pursuit was short; the deer failed to escape. Her claws ripped through the skin of the poor animal as she bit its neck with her powerful jaws.
A satisfied grin ran across her face.
Then, she caught another scent in the air. A familiarity this war craft remembered. It was her lover, Tom who waited for her.
A lonesome howl stirred the cold air then silence. Laura approached Tom excitedly in her human form.

Intriguing story. The alluring scent of prey, the excitement of the hunt. Chameleon like Laura – lithe, huntress, fatal.
I couldn't place the title though. Ahehehe

Close. but not close enough. Laura is something else. The picture might help you guess what she really is.

Wow! Na-iimagine ko, si Laura ay kapamilya ni Edward Cullen? Akala kong War Craft yung Computer Game eh, pero more of Twilight Saga 'to
Nice post. It played in my imagination.
