Stress Reliever

*Maija* · 10-06-2013, 06:54 PM

As she descended to the land that had stretched from her den's view, she began to think of the many different ways to chase her catch. With the deer from the woods long gone -- for she was sure another animal had come and found it -- she was now focused on the idea of prey that made her mouth water. Maija licked her lips again, making sure that she didn't slobber from the mere thoughts of chomping down on an early morning prize. From catching her kill to the male behind her, Maija's thoughts ran with the string that connected them together. It was an odd connection, but one that made sense.
With Taurig along for the hunt, Maija would get to prove her abilities to her King. It wasn't just for his company, but also for her own image she had to keep up. When it came to being approached by strangers, Maija was always cold and distant. She had a smart tongue that could sting and leave marks on the people whom came across her path. The golden-furred dame didn't give two shits if she left off a bad impression. They didn't know her, she didn't know them -- what was the point in caring? Now, as she began to get closer to her chosen piece of land with the King in tow, she realized that maybe some - a very slim number - deserved to have a chance.
She recalled the evening she was curled up next to Taurig, using him as her personal space heater. It was one of those nights when she had no choice but to use him, a survival technique that couldn't have been avoided even if she tried. Maija shook her head. His company had made her thoughts temporarily leave, but her husband was still haunting the catacombs of her mind. She felt Dragomir's gaze on her, pressuring the intelligent brain that was placed in her skull. The delicate muscle was feeling squeezed and she took a deep breath before gently coughing. Not now, she thought. Get out of my MIND. NOW!
The thoughts swam away, even though they were reluctant. She opened her leaf green eyes and realized that she was a bit off from where she was planning on being. Slowly, she looked over at Taurig, wondering if he caught on to the way her body had moved without her mind guiding it. If only he knew... A flick of her tail and she moved her gaze to the patch of land that she had chosen. Maija immediately padded towards the nearby trees, staying in their shadows as she stalked closer. Her nose twitched and the scent of many rabbits met her. She breathed them in, focusing on how she was going to chase the little buggers. A low snarl left her lips and she sprung forward.
Her hind legs kicked off, making her body stretch out like a spring from a bed. She picked up speed when she saw the rabbits leap out of their hiding place. Maija cackled and she pushed herself, silently wondering if Taurig was able to keep up with her. Her ears picked up the sound of his massive paws at work and she knew then that she didn't have to worry about him staying in tune with her pace. Maija then changed direction, aiming to the right to follow the large male rabbit she had chosen. He was fast, but she was faster.
The hare slipped under bushes, around tree trunks and across a small brook, trying to evade Maija's hungry jaws. All four paws hit the ground -- front paws before hind -- and she leaped to claim her prize. Teeth found the scruff of his neck, surrounding it to clamp down and break it. Life immediately left him and she had a mad gleam in her eyes that only came from hunting. The thrill of it all was definitely the reliever she needed from her haunting thoughts. Maija picked up her pace from a walk to a gentle trot as she looked for Taurig, wondering if he had been able to catch his share.
