*Maija* · 09-24-2013, 01:40 PM

Fall had brought some relief to the majestic, golden-furred beauty. She wasn't in heat anymore, there was a bite in the air, and she felt the difference from the summer's temperatures compared to autumn's. If Maija knew anything about being perfectly content, then the feeling she had from the change in weather would have been defined as such. In her solitude, she let her eyes tremble with an unfamiliar warmth that didn't seem to know its place in her gaze. It didn't last, though -- within the next few minutes, Maija's eyes lost the warmth as she set out into the world.
She left the piece of forest that hadn't been inhabited by other mammals in a long time. Something about the woods that surrounded Tortuga made her want to stay. It was probably the location of where she was, but the seclusion she found in those woods made her feel...safe. Her paranoia of leaving the temporary safety of the quiet area of trees was slowly creeping up on her, but she moved through her claimed part of the foliage with silent ease anyway. A girl had to eat, and she would be damned if she let her wild thoughts overrule her growling stomach. It was something she had to do to survive, she reminded herself of this every day. Survival...do what you have to do.
Food had become scarce since the weather had changed. No longer were there numerous groups of prey, grazing in the green meadows and taking their time with it all. It was something that would make Maija's heart break, except the layers of ice and brick walls kept it from falling apart. Instead, she was disappointed and a hint of anger splashed its way into her gaze. She had to deal, and there was no other option for her. Her nose quivered at the scents that rose from the cool ground, each one standing apart from the others. The one that she was looking for reached her without a problem and she began to follow the fresh track line to her chosen prey.
It didn't take long for her to reach what she was looking for. She stayed along the outer edge of the forest, choosing to slink through the shadows with her body in a low key stance. When she reached the scent at its freshest point, her eyes darted ahead and she saw the group of deer grazing a few meters away. Two does, a few fawns, and one buck stood and grazed, oblivious to the wolf that was about to disturb their peaceful meal. Leaf green gaze narrowed and she slunk through the trees, making sure her scent didn't move with the wind in their direction. Her golden fur was able to blend in with the golden autumn yellow that seemed to be taking over the grass around her. The deer continued to get within running distance, and she carefully stepped over anything that would possibly give her position away. Maija's concentration paid off when she finally sprinted.
Instead of aiming straight for the buck that protectively began to charge for her, Maija did her own zigzags to avoid any injuries. The burn from the last time she had been struck by antlers rang in her hind leg's muscles, making her growl in protest. She pushed herself harder as she was able to careen out of the deer's path, aiming for the doe that appeared to have a tiny limp in her run. Muscles began to contract and work together more as Maija's desire for the kill kicked in her brain. Her gaze became fiery, with a madness that rarely showed itself in the open. She wanted to kill, and she needed to now.
She was golden blur, flying over the slowly dying grass beneath her as she raced after the doe. It made a horrible cry, knowing it would be caught up with sooner or later. The way it tried to run made Maija's face slip into a nasty grin. Within a couple of feet, she leaped and grabbed the doe's hind quarters, putting her whole weight into the jump. She quickly moved to avoid being kicked by the hind hooves and her mouth quickly found the jugular. She bit down hard, giving the doe a painless death without having to struggle for air. Maija's grip quickly hardened as she felt the buck racing after her for revenge. Even with the extra weight, Maija was able to escape his angry stampede, reaching a good distance from him to make him turn and follow his live family. Success rang in her laughter, muffled by the fur and meat that hung in her mouth. Her stomach would be pleased for a few nights, and with that thought in mind, she retreated back to the woods, eager to reclaim her chosen area of solitude and devour as much as she could until she couldn't eat anymore. If only she knew that this chase would only be the beginning...
