Don't leave me here alone

She had just chucked in the last of her padding when she heard the faint cry of Notch above. She gave the moss a last push, securing it into place, and backed out of the den. She followed the direction of the cry, at first quickly, and then stealthily as she got closer. She followed the scent of Vail from there, which was fresh and easy, her sister hadn’t gone far. She wriggled her larger body into the undergrowth, flicking her tail at her sister in silent greeting, eyes already intent on their prey. A careful sniff around didn’t reveal what Notch had found, but a gaze upwards showed the hunter where the bird was. She and Vail wriggled a little further, and would see the plump turkeys that scratched the earth before them. “Left” Shaye’s voice was barely a breath, but it was enough. the two had worked together all their lives. Her sister shot from the trees at the left, the turkey flared its wings and burst into flight, going right - and directly into Shaye’s waiting jaws. Before it could gain any altitude, she smacked it down with a paw, and latched her teeth into its feathers. It wasn’t a killing blow, but if she let up it would escape. No matter, Vail would understand in a second and do the deed. |
