Heartleaf Creek The Awakening

Kauda let out a snarl, wrinkles appearing on her muzzle as she growled. She threw herself at another hare that was trying to escape. The threw his back legs out, giving Kauda a perfect chance to snap at it. Without hesitation, she threw her blood - stained jaws out to grab the legs, but they hit the ground as fast as they had elevated and her teeth snapped in the air. Her deep, concentrated blue eyes narrowed as she watched the last of the snowshoes disappear just as quickly as Kauda had came upon them. Though the small ebony she - wolf only caught one hare, she was satisfied, and turned with her fluffy tail held high in proud of her catch. Of course, the male had caught another, but he was much larger and older than her. Kauda lowered herself to the ground beside the paralyzed hare, who now laid limp beside her delicate black paws. Hunger snarled in her stomach, and now Kauda could happily tame it. She sent a sideways glance to the male, nodding her head with a gentle, satisfied smile, before turning to her meal. The she - wolf didn't mind sharing a meal place with the male. He had been helpful to her in her catch, and she had also be in turn. Quite a good learning experience for the yearling, and a good meal for the male. Kauda lowered her narrow black muzzle and opened her teeth. Quickly, she wrapped her jaws around the hare. Thick, scarlet red liquid spilled out onto the snow, but most of it flowed into her mouth. She didn't care that it was staining her teeth and muzzle or that she was eating like a pig in front of the stranger. All she cared about was fulfilling the aching hunger in her belly. As the blood seeped down her throat and she ripped into the rabbit, a sort of happiness came over her. She silently thanked the male once more with the nod of her head. His name was still unknown, but it wasn't essential apparently, as they were both filling their stomachs happily. Her dream slowly faded from her mind, thanks to the male sitting a few yards away from her, munching happily at his hare. This is what she needed everyday, someone to take her mind off of things - even if she didn't know their names. Their partnership, though, was over, and it was obvious as they ate in silence. She wouldn't forget his help, though, if she was to ever run into him again.

<blockquote>So the pair ate in relative silence, content in each other's company. Marsh thought nothing of her 'savage' manner of consumption, for all he saw was a hungry wolf filling her belly; table manners had never been a concept that Marsh would care about. It wasn't long before his muzzle bore the stain of rabbit blood, though it was easily taken care of with a few swipes of his tongue. His empty belly easily had room for the two hares and more, though it satisfied any immediate need. His next few days would not be desperate ones.

Crunching on the hind legs of his second hare, Marsh eyed the younger girl, idly curious as to her next step. They had made a fair successful pair, that was certain, and she had taken beautifully to verbal silence. Her company was pleasant indeed.</blockquote>

OOC: I'm going to wrap this up. :) Thanks for posting! If you ever want another I'd be happy! They make a good team. ;) Kauda finished her meal silently. That's pretty much all their partnership had been - silence. They ate in silence, they had hunted in silence, Kauda was led to her prey in silence, they had greeted in silence. Honestly, Kauda admired the male for it. She didn't need to know his name to know that she enjoyed his silent company. Her eyes flitted over to watch him devour his second snowshoe just after she finished her first. The ebony she - wolf carefully set the hide of her hare - which she carefully ate around for no particular reason - beside her and grabbed one of the bones of the hare. Carefully, she gnawed on it and a sort of comfort entered her. It was nice to sit in silence and just feast and chew on bones - something Kauda got to do how often? Silently, Kauda stood. She nodded her head to the male. "Thank you." she spoke quietly, one of the only words spoken in their whole partnership. Kauda grabbed the bones from her catch and turned to disappear into the forest. She wouldn't forget the help of the male, the stranger who had not known her at all. She was thankful.
