Dirt flew beneath swarthy paws as the familiar burn began to engulf her muscles from the growing levels of lactic acid in the tissue. A constant growl rumbling in the confines of her chest while deep amber optics kept locked on target. Spotted back of the fleeing fawn never leaving her sight for a second even as a single ear rotated to catch the sound of Danica's footsteps in the distance. By the way they grew faint then louder Enoki could only guess that she had decided to circle ahead to attempt to cut off the exit route of their prey. Silently she prayed it would work. Unsure of how much energy left her muscles could produce to finish the task at hand. Suddenly the baby came to halt. Pupils widens with the fear that coursed through its veins and dampened its coat with the sleek layer of sweat perspiring from its pores. Confusion settled over its features as it had trouble deciding what to do. Running forward would put it in the jaws of Danica. Backwards meant Enoki could taste its blood. Back and forth it circled until a decision was finally met.
Bolting left it attempted to escape the impending doom that tightened its hold around its form as it ran. But the poor thing wouldn't get far as a sudden force toppled onto its back hard enough to bring it to the ground. Enoki's magpie embodiment hovering over the fawn after making a last ditch effort of springing after it and lunging for the neck. Now the points of her fangs dug into the tender flesh. A gurgled bleat escaping one last time from the fawn's mouth before the blood washed out its voice entirely. Airway crushed in her jaws. Minutes passed before the last breath was taken and exhaled. Allowing Enoki to release her grip and finally catch her breath. Sides rising and falling sharply with each heavy breath. The pink of her tongue dangling between crimson coated jaws that lay parted to cool off her overheated body. Success.
