snap and chomp

Hattori joined his call with hers and the girl grinned even as she ran. She quite liked it when men followed her lead. Four sets of paws briefly touched earth as the pair seemed to fly over the grassy landscape. The herd began to run as they were intended to do and Asla kept on their heels. Now that they were attacking, the girl could only spare fleeing glances at her hunting companion. The vast majority of her attention was on the ungulates that thundered down the prairie.

Asla chose to take on the more difficult task of cutting the foals and their dams from the herd. She added speed, interjecting herself into the center of the group despite the danger. Thankfully, both mothers and their children were running close to one another. The four horses veered away as the predator came near and Asla let them go. The rest of the horses made an attempt to follow, but the small wolf snarled and snapped at their heels. Back on track, they were almost at the tripwire. She spared another glance at Hattori to see how he was faring.
