Stay Where you Are
You’re afraid that they might be able to see you, but you would much rather take that chance than risk jumping to the next branch and falling. Hearing them approaching, you press farther back into the bark of the tree behind you. You don’t feel too much of the texture of the tree, since your thick fur provides a soft layer in-between you and the surface. You hold your breath as they come into view, not wanting to make any noise, not even breathing. The get closer, and your anxiousness grows, until they get to your tree and continue running. Your heart is racing, as the large group just runs right under you and doesn’t stop, and you finally exhale when the last members race past and vanish out of view. One thing you stop to think about while you wait for it to have been a bit since they ran through is the way they ran. You noticed that they were running on all fours, and it made for much faster and more agile travel. They dodged branches and jumped over logs with ease, making you wonder if it was the years of practice or the way they were running. Probably both, you figure as you look in the direction they went, straining your ears to hear any sound of them coming back. You don’t hear anything, and it feels like it’s been a few minutes, so you are left with a decision. You can either jump down and head off in a different direction or stay in the tree just to be safe.
