Marrow

Marrow's tail twitched as she tried to control her excitement. Every muscle, every fiber, yearned for the tension in the air to break and the hunt to spark into motion. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the underbrush, her ears alert to any sounds, her nose pinpointing the source of the scent. Every scent alert and ready. She had a good idea of where the deer was hiding, they just needed to flush it out.

Cracking branches and the sound of paws, let it begin! The deer bolted as the boy ran towards it, twisting around and fleeing right toward Marrow. As the deer came close Marrow sprang out of her hiding spot. Her jaws latched onto the deer's throat, her cat claws digging into it's shoulders and chest. The sudden weight caused the deer to pitch forward, right onto her but Marrow did not let go of the struggling creature. She could taste the blood pooling in her mouth, rushing freely and soon the struggling grew weak as life left the creature. Marrow held on a few more moments after it passed, wanting to be sure the meal was secured.

Marrow let go of her hold, grinned at the boy then started digging in with her teeth, ripping at the flesh of the neck where herfangs had been before and greedily eating what she could. This was marvelous!
