Midnights mist.

It was 12:00 PM . Midnight.
The long wavey grass that scarecly covered the hard dry mud,
blew slowly in the cold wind. Thin streaks of clouds crawled along the monochrome sky like a spider as the moons reflection shimmered in the lakes water.

Everyone was asleep, that is everyone except  for Scraps, Hunter and Adipo.

Scraps was a regular sized troodon with glowing blue  eyes and jet black stripes. His fangs were tinted-yellow  and covered in thick layers of plak from years of eating dead corpses scraped from the roads and left to rot away , his scruffy black,brown and  red-ish coloured  feathers scattered in different directions as he  quietly crept over to the lake.

Being a scavenger meant he didnt sleep often. For this reason he found comfort in the darkness and found ways to use it too his advantage. For example , he would have plenty free time to scavenge around for  food for the pack and plenty of time to practice self defense. Not that he needed it.

"Scraps?" A gruff voice came from behind him. It was Hunter.  A striped ,mocha-brown Troodon with piercing yellow eyes and a huge scar across his jaw.

"Mhm?"  Scraps responded calmly , staring into the distance.

"Since we're up we might as well go on a 'patrol' . Ya know,
Kick back and joke around for a bit, since weve got nothing better to do. " Hunters voice sounded like a man who consumed 1000 of ciggarettes a day. It was rough but at the same time soothing.

"Right, first let me ask if Adipo if  wants to join us." both trailed of to the direction of Adipos den.

Adipo, also a Troodon had violet eyes ,leopard prints on her back and a similar shade (except hers is lighter)  of brown furr as Scraps. She was curled up on a pile of leaves that had recently  fell from the many trees.

She suspiciously stared at the couple approaching her. No one speaks to her unless they are bored. Partially because theyre scared she will get them in trouble with the pack leaders. Adipo had never been considered a true pack member sinse she had only recently moved from another group of rouge  Troodon. She was , and seemingly will always be a social reject, an outcast.
Her fiesty persona and thirst for trouble didnt make her the most approachable either. That is unless your name is Scraps or Hunter.

Hunter enjoyed listening to facts about how she lived with the rouges, how everyday was an adventure.
Scraps liked creating his own adventures and the exhileration he gets when running from trouble . Which of course, Adipo was an expert with.

After the three had a conversation on where to go , what to do , how long theyd be out .  They set of into the comforting darkness of the leafy forest.
