There was something about a good hunt that got Kindle's blood boiling with adrenaline. Pointed hooves flew out wildly infront of her as her prey did it's best to scare the small wolf off. The prey animal was wild with fear and anger, it's towering form becoming an intimidating thing to face for the blue marked woman. Faced with a creature taller then her, the Ademre woman was thankful once more for the strangers assistance. If this had been a solo hunt she would have already fled, unable to take on a beast this much larger then her on her own. She carefully dodged the flailing hooves while doing her best to get in a few bites at the creature's underside. She aimed her jaws to catch upon the soft flesh of his belly, feeling a thick tear give from the force of her bite. Blood filled her mouth and she licked her lips as she pulled away, a vicious smile upon her face. Her focus was entirely on the creature, and she barely registered the man's warning although the sound reached her He lunged in and the pronghorn rotated it's rear away - Kindle moving with it - and a deep growl came from the bushes. Her head whirled to identify the threat, catching a stray hoof against the side of her skull in the process. She was taken aback, dazed momentarily from the pronghorns blow. Her vision blurred slightly but she could make out the tan coat of the cougar as it flew from the bushes. The small wolf's hackles raised and she wheeled backwards out of it's path, casting a panicked look towards the stranger. A warm trickle of blood began to drip down her face, beginning to pool around her eyes and cloud her vision. What could they do? The cat had to be taken care of regardless, but the hunger in Kindle's stomach made it hard to accept having to abandon their hunt. She snarled at the cougar, the sound low and dangerous. Although the situation was becoming much more dire, it was hard for her to consider any sort of a hunt a failure - especially one where she was not the only one dependent on it, the stranger needed to eat too. The cat was closer to her size then the pronghorn and Kindle realized it would be a more even match. Her gaze darted from predator to prey as she held her ground before it, and then with a frustrated snarl she dashed forward. Perhaps if they showed enough strength the cat would flee, and they could finish their hunt in piece. The alternative was having to kill the cat and abandon the pronghorn, or perhaps the tall stranger could take one of their bounties while she handled the other. None of the options were particularly safe. The cat lunged forward once more, it's claws nearly catching upon the flesh of Kindle's neck as she dodged the blow. Her head was still fogged and distracting and she considered seriously for the first time that she might not want to pick this fight tonight. The cat hissed and advanced upon them, the pronghorn still bucking not far off and looking for an out. The Ademre woman snarled at both predator and prey, before slowly beginning to back away. "We can't do this." She yelled to the stranger, partly ashamed at the admittance. "Run!" He'd followed her into the hunt and she could only hope he'd follow her away as well. She barely turned to look and see if he'd gotten the hint, still hearing the scared snarls of the angry cougar as well as the frightened calls of the pronghorn as she moved further away. Her stomach growled with hunger and her ears flattened as she wondered when her next meal would be. The blow upon her head had been a hard one, and she'd known wolves to be down for the count after taking a strike to the skull from flying hooves. She knew no healers, had no pack. It was very possible that she'd take more time to recover from the ordeal then she had - unless she found a willing healer to bandage her wounds and calm her foggy mind. WORD COUNT: 2505 / 2500. "Speech" "Ademre Sign" "Thinking" "You." |
