Let's Try This Again

The vigorous nodding filled Morticia with delight. That excitement reflected in her dual toned eyes. If Medusa would show her how to keep the prey from escaping she could have more fun with it! She had seen well enough the struggles of prey when it was in the tar but that was no good since she couldn't collect the bones afterwards. She would wiggle in place, waiting for her mother to begin the process of explaining how to trap prey.

The first step was figuring out what to trap. Mortician's nose would scrunch up as she thought. "Deer? Too big? Maybe… Piggie… or…" Morticia's grin widened. "Piggie or Turkey! Morticia likes both." She would motion for Medusa to follow. "Medusa follow Morticia to the bone den! Find lots of bones, maybe sharp ones!" The yearling would take off then, running across the territory whether Medusa was ready or not.

…and Morticia wouldn't slow until she neared the den, humming to herself as she eagerly awaited to show her mother the collection she'd been gathering. Skills, ribs, femurs… it seemed that Morticia had a fondness for the larger bones she could get from prey.
