Surprise attacks

A roar erupted through the silence and a dark ball of fur slammed into the mottled grey side of Rudyard. Dusk wrapped her forelegs around one of her uncles legs and bit down hard, prepared to murder her prey. Teeth clacked against something hard with an audible tink and a moment later the girl was spitting a tooth out onto the grass between them. Dusk blinked a few times, the little soot ball's eyes wide and bright within the endless black of her coat. "Uhhh...." the girl shook her head, then looked up to her antlered uncle.

Smiling, Dusk flashed her teeth... minus one. A big gap in her teeth where one of her top canines had been knocked out. The tooth had been loose anyway and was going to fall out at any moment, so it hadn't hurt when it popped out. Dusk was simply proud of herself. "Did you know that I was following you, Uncle Rudy? I tried really hard to stay quiet!" The child's tail lashed back and forth like a whirlwind behind her, eyes big and bright as she waited for her Uncle's reply.

"Dusk Carpathius"
