'Dang it!' Vala yelled as she let the mouse escape. 'Every time!' Someone was watching her, she knew. She always knew, but she had to be careful. If the others found out how skilled she was, they might think she was trying to let her prey escape. Well, she was, but her camp members can't find out. She ran after the mouse, and tried to ignore its screams. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt, but I can't tell you. I'm sorry, she thought. She eventually led it to a hiding place and looked for a different prey. After chasing several prey like this, she sat down and waited for her follower to slip up. After ten minutes she grew tired of waiting and started on the road to her camp. 'Wait.' a voice echoed through the forest. Vala recognised it. Unlike any of the foxes, This voice was cold as stone. 'Who's there?'  Vala said, even though she already knew the answer. 'I have been watching you, Vala. I know your secret.' Vala grinned. 'If you don't come down, I guess I'll have to destroy your camp!' The voice turned into a warm, hearty laugh. 'Come on down, Nelo.' Vala said, being careful not to be to loud. If her camp found out she sas friends with an ocelot, she would be dead by morning. The ocelot jumped down from the branch, not making a sound as he hit the ground. 'What's the news?' Vala asked. 'Magus wants another meeting.' Nelo answered. 'This time on the Moonlight planes, in exactly one moon.' 'Ok, I'll be there. I don't know what I'll tell camp, but I'll come.' 'Great! see you soon!' Nelo said. 'Ya know, it's kinda sad that i only see you for work. Wanna, maybe, I don't know-' 'I have a boyfriend, Nelo. You know that.' 'Sigh. I know.' Said he. 'Now leave,' Vala said, 'I'm not the only one getting murdered if they see you.' Nelo smiled an  empty smile. He was good at acting. 'Au revoir!' Nelo said. 'Goodbye, Nelo.' He stared at her as she headed towards her camp. 'Goodbye indeed.' He whispered.
