Operation Hedgehog
#3
Sierra had only been in Moscow a few weeks. It was difficult to find food that Snow would eat. He wanted to hunt, and Sierra didn't blame him one bit. But it was a long ways to travel on any given day for her and Snow to travel out of Moscow and find something to hunt, they had to go further and further from the city each day. The animals had fled something, it wasn't the new new wolf in town, something far more sinister kept the animals at bay, but nothing they showed Sierra ever gave her any idea what it was.

It was cold in this part of the world, December was cold in most places Sierra had been, but she had the luxury of the hunt, her coat was self made of animal hide she had killed herself. It looked like something you'd buy from an outrageously priced store, Sierra even saw an identical one in the store, the money should make on that alone. But Sierra hated the kill, hated taking a life, but even for a wolf it was necessary. She made sure to use as much as possible and thanking the beast for it's gifts. Her father had taught her survival, but the wolves and other creatures of the world had taught her balance.

So Sierra went on search for alternative methods, Snow was resigned to eating butchered meat, but Sierra wanted to surprise him. Pet stores had rabbits and all sorts of various creatures, Sierra hoped to set up a regular trade on farmed rabbits, Snow would not like the ease in which he could kill these creatures, but it was better than letting him wander the streets of Moscow only to be caught by their pest control people, or worse be put down for killing one.

She hoped to find rabbits for so far there had only been a store dedicated to hedgehogs. She passed the place several times but decided to go in anyways. Sierra was nearly as cautious as the wolves of other two legged as they called them. She smiled at the words and let it help her as she walked the aisle of creatures. She was saddened by their captivity. Creatures needed to roam free. They needed their own lives, but these were farmed and raised to be pets. Pets was such a horrid word, yet she had to call her beloved friend on in order to get an apartment in a bad neighborhood. City life sucked.

Sierra stopped next to man watching a pair of the silly creatures, oblivious to their captivity. The hedgehog might be more of a challenge than a rabbit. Sierra would have to ask Snow what he thought about the cute little things. She reached out with her mind and hoped Snow would hear her.

Images of being trapped passed through her mind, Snow didn't liked to be kept inside, Sierra knew he was pacing back and forth watching and waiting for her return. She couldn't have brought him this time, she needed to go inside the stores. Sierra sent back the images of the small creatures in front of her. Snow sent back an enthusiastic yes, she felt the images were more a kin to having a treat. Sierra smiled.

The excitement of Snow ran through Sierra's mind, he was happy and Sierra would take a few home. She would look for the healthiest of them, and then hope that she could make a bargain with the owner. But this man looked like he needed a little help staring at the pair in front of them. "Having difficulty choosing?"
She smiled. "You don't look much the pet type.
