Kick Up The Dust

She introduced herself as Jay Destruction and he was pleased to see she was as eager to hunt as he was! This was great, he really liked the idea of having a hunting partner. He settled down into the grass, limbs coiling beneath him in excited preparation. Tarnish had to mentally focus on keeping his tail so it didn't start wagging before he was ready to attack. That would spoil the whole hunt. Tarnish kept an eye on the girl as she moved through the grass, it parting ever so slightly. When the shift of the grass had ceased he waited a few moments more before springing into action.

He darted forward like a shot and the pronghorn immediately scattered. Tarnish kept his focus on the wounded one that was lagging behind, quickly leaping to its right to startle it toward where Jay lay in wait. The antelope's limp made it far easier to keep up with but even so Tarnish felt himself having to push his body harder than he ever had before.
