Hunger
Hunt!

There was something to the thrill of a hunt. Pumping heartbeats and footfalls, the reek of adrenaline in her nostrils. It was almost musical, a thunderous roar, a desperate struggle to survive on either side. Eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. She could feel the blood lust welling in her, self control the only thing holding her back from striking at the herd as they splintered off, one at a time. This really was peasant’s work, she wanted to be the one to strike the killing blow. Then there was Cian and her long legs and svelte frame, showing off by running ahead. If the hunt had been any more complicated than splitting the herd and delivering a kill to an experienced huntress, they probably would have failed, and Pleione completely overlooked how that could be, in any way, her fault. She was the last of the three to reach the body, and by the time she did she was thoroughly frustrated with the whole event. Group hunts just weren’t her style, she’d decided. She could find another way to serve the pack in the future, something that required the skill and finesse only she could deliver. Pleione felt too bitter to even have an appetite, looking down her nose at the dead buck that could have been her kill, if only she was any good at this bullshit. Biting down her pride, she looked to her pack mates and said, “Congratulations and well done, all of us.” |
