Play With Me? [Armageddon]

Asheni's bright blue eyes were trained upon the small hole, barely visible in the snow. She hadn't wandered far from Glaciem, she was still in trouble for vanishing the last time and here she was still well within a reasonable distance, she could hear them if they called, and they could hear her. She never liked being caged it reminded her of her days with the humans. She simply couldn't resist the temptation of taking time to herself. She would explain that to Gargie if he asked, Crusade already knew. Today she was not dwelling on the past, or her mistakes, she was attempting to let go, to move on. It still pained her to see Crusade and Cifer together but with each day it grew a little less hurtful and she refused to let it affect her relationship with either wolf. She loved the two of them far too dearly too abandon them. She would survive, as she always did, but today was not to be lost on such thoughts.

Her belly scraped against the snow as she drew closer, eyes keen on the target and ears back. Her paws made little noise as she slunk closer to the rabbit hole. She was almost to the opening when a fluffy white head popped up. Icy blue locked with onyx black and for a split second, neither moved, and then, they were off. The hare jetted across the snow, Asheni hot on its heels. She barked happily, chasing the creature this way and that through the snow. She had no desire to kill it, she just wanted to play. It scrambled up the icy glaciers and Asheni's claws scraped against the ice as she attempted to keep her balance and pursue the chase.

Taking a chance, she lunged, caught the hare between her teeth but couldn't stop in time. Both she and the hare she held so delicately, went headfirst into a high pile of snow. The rabbit was the first to recover, squirming incessantly within her jaws. Gently she let the creature go and it bounded away, terrified and running for its life. A smile broke out across her maw and laughter poured from her vocals. It felt good to laugh.
