Choose Your Path~Amber Part Two~Friend or Foe

        Sorry that nothing went up last week, I was in Florida, on vacation. I may put something on that later. But for now here is part two of Amber's adventure.
        Amber realizes that the animal is close by and she must find a good spot to hide. The box looks nice, safe, and comforting. She hops up over the fence and makes her way toward the box. The animal's scent gets stronger as she gets closer to the box. When she reaches the box it hits her that the scent is coming from inside of the box.
        A low growling noise comes from the box and Amber leaps backward. A Mastiff charged out of the box directly at Amber. She ran to the fence and quickly jumped over it. The dog barked and lunged at the fence making a huge racket. Amber ran past several houses and didn't look back.

        Finally coming to a stop at a house, she began to feel hungry. The calico cat slowly walked up to the house. There was a hole under the porch. The gap was an excellent place to find mice. She slipped into the hole and smelled the scents, no more scent of dog from earlier. She would watch out for that smell from now on. She did, however, smell the aroma of mice. Her eyes adjusted and she found the mouse hole in the back of the hollow space. Sitting down by the hole, she waited. 

        A few hours or so later a curious little mouse decided to go out. Amber darted her claws at the mouse and then before the mouse could run away, she grabbed it in her mouth, killing it instantly. Amber ate the mouse, then dozed off in her new home.

        Later a child who lived in the house came outside and decided to go to his fort under the porch. He rather enjoyed playing games inside of his fort that was outside. He crawled under the porch and was going to his fort when something caught his eye. There was a calico cat sitting by the small hole in the ground. The cat's blue eyes stared at him. He gasped and ran inside. He ran back out and slowly crawled under the porch, hoping the cat was still there. He held the metal can and looked around, but the calico was not to be seen. 

       Amber sat behind the fort, her tail curled around her, swishing a little bit as she sat thinking, Who is he? What does he want?

       What should Amber do? Run away, go up to the boy, or stay put? You decide! Vote in the polls on the side of the blog. Had Amber gone to the tire, she would have napped there and gone to the woods. Had she gone to the hollow tree, she would have met a Great Gray owl, and would have run the opposite direction as this story and found a slightly creepy house. She will remember choices made and they will help or hinder her. With that in mind, have fun and be careful what you choose!               The poll will expire 12/2/16!
