The doe flailed wildly beneath him, but she could no longer stand. Her leg was in tatters and unable to support her weight. Kat dodged the sharp hoof of her uninjured hind leg, then dove for the soft white of her exposed throat as soon as he saw it. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched Asahi dispatch the fawn. His heart wrenched briefly, but he thought again of the shimmering, spotted pelt. So pristine. So beautiful. Kat grunted, biting down deeper into the doe's throat. She still struggled, but she was fading. He stood and dragged her dying body with some effort back towards her sister, lying the doe next to her fawn as the last of the life drained from her. His heart hammered in his chest. The hunt was always thrilling. Sometimes, the emotion was overwhelming. He stood still and let the blood thunder in his ears, trying to let the feeling wash over him like a wave. It passed over and through him. "The pelt. It's beautiful. I want it," he said haltingly, still giddy with the high of the hunt. "Sad it had to die but... that is the way of things," Kat admitted, hoping his sister wouldn't think less of him for mourning the creature. "Help me harvest it?" |
