Hidden in the Unknown

The shallow water of the oasis around them pinkened with her blood at first, but once the doe had been shoved into it on her side and her jugular was allowed to freely flow out into the clear waters- a deep red cloud lingered over her precious body. The taste of the blood in his mouth was driving Elias mad, he wanted to devour her right then and it took every ounce of willpower the man had not to just tear into her flesh and begin.

He had moved with her form as Czernobog flipped her, keeping his teeth latched on the killpoint for as long as possible. He was only able to hold it for a brief moment beneath the water before he had to pull up his maw and breath, releasing a growl as soon as his lungs were sated enough to do so. His lengthy legs created such noise as they splashed while he leapt over her figure and into the shallower waters by the shore. He turned around, teeth anchoring themselves into the back of the doe's neck as he began working to pull her out of the waters and on to the shore. She was going into shock, nearly dead.. and once he managed to pull her out of the water enough to tear into her, he did so.

His teeth found the wet fur on her thighs and dug in, ripping into her flesh. She kicked her leg slightly to try and push the wolf off, but the leg quickly relaxed and surrendered once Elias devoured the first bite from it. She was bleeding profusely from her neck and from this wound, and finally.. she took her last breath.

Elias hadn't realized how near starving he really was, but after a few swallows, he managed to control himself and pull away from the deer, red eyes searching for Czernobog. He could feel the food hitting his stomach already, his high metabolism quickly working to turn it into fuel and replenish what he had spent during the hunt. "I almost thought she was going to get away from us when she went through the water. She was fast." He grinned, "Thanks for your help."
