Dancing in the Deep Freeze

Since the dogs were causing most of the commotion with their big, booming barks and guttural growls, the hares, complete with winter clothing, tried all of the other exits for a way to safety. As it was, there was no safe exit. The girl and her cat took down a few hares, he could tell. Chimera couldn't spare his attention though. Hares were erupting from the earth. How many of the damn things could live in one set of holes? The black and white giant had another hare between his jaws and a third under his paw, though it kicked furiously. Once the one his his mouth was dead, he ended the life of the kicker. Two more made their escape into the snowy brush, but there was nothing that could be done about that. They had used the deaths of their brethren wisely.

A final hare pushed from the burrow and it was a fat thing. It began to zigzag, trying to dodge the man. Zipping backwards over the ground, it met its fate at the jaws of one of the sisters. And then everything was still. Corpses littered the ground and blood marred the pristine white snow, but their job of finding a meal was complete. If there were more hares within the ground, they were staying still, most likely frozen in fear. They could very well stay there.

With another silent nod, the dogs returned to their master. Each dog carried a rabbit and Chimera carried two, grasping them by their long ears so that they swung as he walked. Without sparing another glance to the girl or her cat, the trio began making their way back towards Ashen. Their cooperation paid off, but the job was done. There was no need to stay around and speak.
