Its ears perked up, and it stood completely still. Chest expanded, breath held, the creature made itself as quiet as possible. A small whimper, and it cocked its head. Where was the noise coming from? Was the noise something it could eat?
Padding across the floor, occasionally dropping to all fours, it skittered down the darkened corridor, bouncing from wall to wall as it loped. It was closer, now. The noise was no longer a simple echo. The source was near! Food!
Snarling, teeth bared, drool whipping past its floppy ears, the thing flung itself towards the light. Just beyond, the source of the noise. Something small, purple, and best of all harmless. The harmless food was scrawny, but the thing hadn't eaten for longer than it could remember, a whole forty five minutes ago. The green thing crouched, building up momentum in its spring-like legs. With a guttural cry, it leapt.
The food turned, its eyes wide.
And somehow the thing stopped in mid air. It struggled, churning its legs and swiping at the food with its small, dirty claws. The food cocked its head...and smiled?
"It's cute!"
"This, my mistress, is an Imp." a deep baritone voice resounded in the empty glowing chamber.
The thing grunted and stretched, reaching out. The food was just out of reach.
"SCHNEAPLE EAT YOU!" the thing cried, arms flailing to catch its food. Its food patted Schneaple on the head.
