Forest Hunting [Sianna- Analla- Open]

[sianna]

Sianna tilted her ears to hear if anyone had followed. Listening closer the paw steps began to edge closer and closer. Spinning around the Timber fae was happy to see her newest friend Analla. Sianna smiled at the white fae and wagged her tail. Once Analla was close enough to hear Sianna she said, "Thanks for coming. I didn't want to be alone for my first hunt in this new land."

Smiling at Analla Sianna quickly turned around and sniffed the air. The faint scent of prey hung around this area. Most of the scents were stale leading Sianna to believe that she had to venture deeper into the forest. Motioning her tail, signaling Analla to follow, Sianna took off. Her light pawsteps echoed and sent vibrations up the trees.

Reaching a new area Sianna slowed down and sniffed the air. Ah, she thought. I smell something good. Facing Analla the Timber femme grinned and crouched low to the forest floor. Inch by inch she crawled forward until she was hidden by a large bush. Poking her nose out of the opposite end of the bush, Sianna sniffed. Suddenly her maw became watery as the familiar scent of deer entered her nose.

"Could it be the deer Den and i encountered before?" she questioned herself. Slightly poking her head out Sianna's brown eyes glowed. Success! They were the deer that had run off from Sianna and Dens deer hunt. Happily Sianna turned her head and faced Analla. Gesturing with her eyes she signaled the fae to come closer. While doing this Sianna hoped she had not offended her new friend with telling Analla what to do. Sianna always led the hunts in her old pack, so it became natural.

Thinking Sianna promised that she would allow Analla to say which deer they would go after and how they would attempt to catch it. Once Sianna felt her friend near she slowly and quietly said, "There is a small group of deers. Just say when, where and how to make a move."

[analla]

Analla smiled at Sianna as she thanked Analla for coming with her. Phew..Good. thought analla, relieved knowing that she was welcomed to the hunt with the timber femme. No problem. Let's go try to find some food. I'm hungry. said Analla, as she saw Sianna sniff the air then, took off into the trees. Analla quickly followed beside her as their slender bodies weaved past the trees. Her nose twitched as so many different scents flooded her nose. Her paws thumped quietly against the forest terrain, but she made sure that her feet would not cause the leaves to crunch; which would cause the prey to be scared off.

She smiled, happy to be hunting with a new friend. They stealthily crouched behind bushes. Her nostrils flared as the scent of deers excited her. Her heart raced in her chest at the thought of the delicious meat just in front of the bushes. Sianna whispered to Analla that there was a small group of deers ahead, and that analla could pick when, where and how they would make a move. Analla nodded as she thought to herself of different tactics. She sized up the deers as she inspected each animal carefully. There were a few deers in particular that looked of interest. There were a few very young deers that would be easy to take down, though young deers tend to be rather unpredictable. Then there was one fat buck that was laying down while eating grass, and obviously had a very critical injury in his back right leg. Her smile slowly turned less innocent as she plotted the murder of one of the deers. She scooted silently closer to Sianna as she whispered what she thought they should do. Personally, I think we should get that big, fat buck that has the leg injury. said Analla as she took a quick breath before continuing to whisper. He is the one lying down...the closet buck to us. He would be a good target. Us two against that injured buck will be a piece of cake, and the size of that buck will show the pack what we're made of. whispered Analla as she thought of also hunting a few rabbits or something just to have as extras for their newfound pack's meal. Maybe we can just sneak up from behind him. The other deers will most likely leave him because of his injury, and won't want to risk their lives for an un-useful buck. We can outrun him. said Analla, confident in her plan. The idea of her plan wasn't anything special, tricky or anything, but it would definitely work. Her ears pricked forward as she listened to any movement from the deers. She squinted her piercing eyes as she looked through a small hole in the brush they were hiding behind. The pack of deer look exhausted, like they had just been running the whole day. Even better.

[sianna]

Sianna grinned at Analla. This femme was very smart and keen in her sense of hunting. Eying the buck Sianna agreed with the white fae. It would be much easier to take him down. Unlike the others his injury would most definitely make his attempts of escape slower.

Positioning herself near the hole of the bush Sianna was ready to sprint when a large gust of wind came billowing through the trees. With the wind it carried the scent of the two femmes, making the deers go crazy. "Ugh." Sianna grunted leaping out of the bushes. Eying the multitude of deer racing to and fro Sianna was able to scent out the injured one.

Quickly she sped past all of the does and bucks keeping her stare on the limping one. Thrusting forward with her back legs Sianna dug her paws into the ground, and leapt. She soared over the ground her front legs extended forward ready to grab the prey. To her own amazement she did. Sianna sunk her claws into the buck's flank and brought it down.

The only mess up was that the buck landed on her, not the other way around. Sianna growled in pain but got over the fact that the buck may have bruised some of her ribs. Climbing on top of him Sianna reached her head to his throat and bit down, letting the blood seep into her maw. With a good amount of blood around her maw Sianna let go and looked into the deers eyes.

Silently she thanked the deer for the meat it would supply to her and the pack. The deer seemed to understand and shut its eyes. Breathing heavily Sianna turned around wondering where Analla was. Maybe she took down her own deer. Sianna's stained muzzle glistened in the light and her sides heaved up and down. She then squealed as a sharp pain raced through her body. I knew it, my ribs are bruised, great!

She placed her rump on the forest floor and and stared at the deer. Its thin hair blew in the wind, allowing the leaves to rustle on its sides. Smiling at her catch Sianna listened for Analla. "Where is she?" the timber fae muttered.

[analla]

As the wind blew their scent which caused a deer frenzy, the dust made it almost impossible to see anything. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sianna dart into the dust cloud, but it would be of no use to follow her. She sprinted into another part of the dust cloud, and she tried to use her nose to find scents to help her navigate, but dust just got stuck in her nostrils instead. She snorted in disgust as her eyes squinted, so that the dust wouldn't get into her eyes. She closed her eyes for one second, and when she looked back up there was a huge female doe darting right towards her. The doe barreled Analla to the ground, and Analla growled as she looked for the doe as she got up again, but the doe was no where to be seen. She wasted to time in searching for prey because she didn't want to end this empty handed. She moved silently once she caught a scent of a deer. Then she saw it. A massive buck. It was beautiful, she could almost taste the meat in her mouth. Her mouth drooled at the thought of ripping the flesh from his body. The imaginary smell in her mind was absolutely intoxicating. She crouched low to the ground, not that it would matter with all the dust, but that is what her natural hunting instincts signaled her to do. She crept slowly towards the buck that was almost frighteningly too still...like he knew that she was there. Then, the next second, she saw as he came towards her with his large antlers directly pointed at her. He jabbed her body with her antlers, inflicting an awful pain on her side. She grunted painfully in response as she staggered to regain her footing. But, suprisingly, the buck didn't go running away--He stood there claiming his territory. Maybe he's their alpha, and that's why he is putting up such a fight... thought Analla as she checked the deer up and down. He was one of the largest deers that she has even confronted which made her a little more nervous than usual, but it was worth a try. She slowly circled the wolf, her paws criss-crossing as she never let her eyes falter from the intense stare between the two animals. The buck pawed at the ground and threatinginly shook his head. A young baby deer came darting right between them just then, and Analla lurched out towards the baby, and sunk her teeth deep into it's fragile hide. She shook her mouth furiously as she saw the blood dripping heavily onto her snow white mouth. The baby collapsed onto the ground, twitching uncontrollably. A part of her felt remorse, stealing the life of a newborn, but being a hunter, that is what she has learned to deal with. She pressed her whole body's weight against the chest of the dieing baby, and felt the crunching of her ribs snapping. She looked up at the buck who was thrashing his body around violently as he came running towards her. She moved just to the side as he ran towards where she just was, and he tripped over the dieing baby. She used this chance to jump onto the male's back. She lunged for his neck, and she chomped down her jagged teeth, slicing his skin right open. Blood gushed everywhere, and the buck screamed out in pain. Then, Analla bit down in another place on his neck even harder, and apparantly in just the right place because he fell to the ground right after. Analla stood back up on four paws as she eyed her catch; both bodies lying on the ground where their bodies were spazzing. She quickly slit both of their throats, ending their lives. She grabbed the baby's neck as she dragged it next to the buck. The movement had ended which caused the dust to settle back on the ground. Her eyes looked around for Sianna, wondering if she had caught anything. She was excited to show Sianna her great catch. Analla winced as she glanced at her side. A single hole caused by an antler was on her side bleeding. The pain was uncomfortable, but nothing life-threatening. Analla shook her head at the thought of having to clean herself of all the blood on her ivory bod. She walked towards the buck and baby, and sat down on her powerful haunches, waiting for Sianna.

[sianna]

Sianna waited a couple more seconds. Analla had not shown up, leaving the Timber fae alone in silence. It wasn't all so bad. The time by herself allowed Sianna to return to her regular breathing and gave her some time to gain her energy back. Looking at the buck, the only thing Sianna dreaded was having to carry the fat thing back to the pack. Although it looked delicious, she really didn't want to carry it. Her ribs hurt a lot, and quite frankly dragging something wouldn't help the pain.

Sighing Sianna took her time getting up. She didn't want to cause her body anymore pain than it was already in. Stalking toward the buck Sianna slowly grabbed it with her maw. She clung onto the bucks neck and began to drag it along the ground. But as she continued on a strong jab of pain hit her ribs making her drop the buck. She yelped with pain almost making her brown eyes swell with tears. Pull yourself together! You can do this! Don't be a wimp, be proud of what you caught.

Sianna again grabbed the bucks neck and pulled it making her walk almost sideways. Another jab of pain came but she let it slide. Sianna didn't want to seem weak. She wanted to show Analla what she had caught with a big smile on her face.

After a few minutes of dragging the buck Sianna finally found Analla. Sianna let the buck out of her grip and padded over to Analla. She limped a little as she walked but held her head up high. Reaching her friend Sianna said, "Look Analla! I... i got the buck! I had no idea where you went and I'm sorry i didn't come back to find you. I just couldn't let it get away."

Once she was done speaking Sianna thought she had spotted a gash in Analla's leg. "Oh my! Analla what happened..." Sianna would have continued on until she noticed the larger buck and the small baby deer. They were dead!

Looking into Analla's eyes Sianna's heart leaped. "You caught that! You're nuts! But in a good way! Wow we... you... i... you think Xin will be happy?" she grinned.

[analla]

As Analla sat by her catch, she searched for Sianna. She pressed her paw against the ground, causing her talons to dig into the soft terrain. When she looked up, her eyes met Sianna's. Sianna was dragging a heavy buck, looked delicious. Sianna was explaining about how she couldn't find Analla, and so on so forth. Analla nodded in understanding as she responded. I know, I totally get it. Don't worry! It was crazy...I couldn't find you either. But, at least, we got food. Nice catch, can't wait to eat dinner tonight! said Analla, enthusiastic for their meal.

The pain on her side where the antler had pierced her flesh stung, and blood spilled from the open wound causing her white fur to become covered in blood. Sianna asked how she got the wound, and she answered her promptly. I'll be okay. Don't worry--It won't kill me. Just stings a bit, but nothing a good night's sleep can't fix. winced Analla as she felt the dirt from the dust cloud infect her wound. She didn't want to burden anyone with a wound that wouldn't kill her.

Once Sianna caught sight of what Analla caught and complimented her, She grinned giddily. Thanks. I hope Xinelli, and the pack are proud of the three deers we caught. said Analla as she glanced at the three dead deer, trying to think about how they were gonna carry them back. Analla grunted a little at the thought of having to carry the deer all the way back to pack.

[sianna]

Although Analla stated that she was fine, Sianna knew better than that. Analla's wound hurt as much as Sianna's bruised ribs. Sianna was sure of that. But instead of talking about their injuries Sianna just smiled and laughed. "If Xin isn't happy with three deers, i might just have to bite him." Sianna then sighed and faced their catch.

Luckily they had caught two large bucks and a baby. Enough meat to feed everyone. Sianna just wished she had the strength of ten femmes to carry it back. Sianna knew that complaining about it wouldn't help anybody. So she bent over and grabbed her buck by its scruff. Turning to Analla, Sianna knew that by herself Analla could carry the large buck but the baby posed a problem.

Thinking of a quick solution Sianna dropped her buck, grabbed the baby and threw it onto her back. The baby's hooves hit Sianna's ribs, but she dare not scream. She then made her way over to her buck and again picked it up. Nodding at Analla, Sianna showed that it would be no trouble brining the baby with her. The large buck was enough for Analla, and Sianna didn't mind helping her friend.

A swift breeze then passed by ruffling the two femmes fur. Sianna grinned as the coolness of the breeze made her feel much calmer. Holding the buck tightly in her blood stained maw Sianna began to pad off. She listened hoping that her friend stayed close behind. As she moved past the bush she and Analla hid in Sianna grinned.

Here she was, getting food for her new home. Her new pack. Who knew i would be here? Quickly passing the area Sianna took one last glimpse of the beautiful forest. She sighed and left. Her first hunt was successful.
