The Sound of Starting Over
He'd gone to go find more food for his little brother. Why he took it upon himself to care for the blind brat was beyond him, but he supposed he was doing it since his dad wasn't around to take care of him anymore...and maybe somewhere deep down, he did care even if he didn't show it on the outside. He'd been tracking a small deer outside of the Plains where he and his little brother had been staying, feeding him and caring for him since Obscuro didn't know how to hunt, and Enigma had no clue how to go about teaching him when he couldn't see. It was frustrating, but he had nothing else to do anyway.
Quietly, he followed the deer to these pits. It stunk of death and rotting flesh, the tar smell not helping as it masked his sense of smell. Growling in irritation, Enigma finally found it when it stopped, watching as it looked around with a wary eye. He slunk closer, body low to the ground as he peered around the rock he was hiding behind. A sound from beyond the deers place sounded, spooking the creature. To his delight, the deer spooked right towards him and he took the chance. Bursting from his hiding place, Enigma's jaws closed around the deer's leg and he brought it to the ground. Wasting no time, he quickly took hold of its throat before it could get up. Crushing it's windpipe, the deer fell still, his work was done.
As he was about to grab it and drag it away, he heard another sound behind him, curious as to what it might be, he decided he would check it out. Picking up the deer by its throat, he dragged it with him. There was no way he would leave it behind for someone else to take without him being around to fight for the dinner that he caught. Minutes later, he spotted another wolf not too far away, a female judging by the faint scent that trailed by. Amber gaze watched her for a moment, and it looked to him like she got herself into some sort of sticky situation. Scoffing, he dropped his catch and closed the small distance, his attention alert just in case. "You Should be more careful. It's not wise to run around here you know." |
