Hunting The Tall Grass {Open}

[Deleted]

Suddenly the rams both bolted, luckily in different directions. Gid immediately went for the smaller of the two, launching himself from his crouching position into a full gallop. He had no time to look at his hunting partner, but he hoped she wasn't going to go for the larger one. His bulk made him slow but he had gotten off to a good start and was gaining on the panicked animal. With a grunt of pleasure Gid pushed onward even faster until he was running about a foot behind, snapping at the animal's haunches and trying to decide whether to pounce now or wait for Blitz to catch up.

ooc; Thanks Cascade!

Blitz took off right behind Gideon, her long slender legs being an advantage, she runs a lot for fun, but this being a hunt, totally different. She chased the smaller one as well. For a large wolf he can sure pick up speed her mind fluttered, her eyes narrowed and she completely focused on the task ahead, she surpassed Gideon but stayed to his right, she felt as if she was flying,and kept her breaths at a steady pace as she sprinted after the smaller ram, picking up speed very quickly.

.::Gideon is unable to keep up with the ram for long, but manages to make a few superficial cuts on its rump with his jaws. Blitz manages to catch up quickly, running mere inches behind the fleeing ram.::.

Gideon breathed hard as the ram got further away from him, but he saw that it was now running with a slight limp and smiled at that. He felt slightly embarrassed at doing so little damage, and as he slowed slightly to catch his breath he watched as Blitz gained on the creature. Pushing himself he ran toward them, knowing that if she made a successful move, he would be able to finish off the animal quickly.

Blitz seen the ram was injured and closed in on him, she was sprinting fast, as she got closer and closer she waited for the perfect moment, she was close enough. I can do this! Blitz thought confidently. Than she leapt forward and lunged in mid air at the ram, teeth bared and claws ready.

ooc; *waits for Cascade*

.::Blitz lands squarely on top of the ram, knocking it to the ground and landing a killing blow. As the two go down, Blitz gets a little banged up, but nothing so severe as to require attention from White Magic.::.

Gideon watches as she takes down the ram, delivering the killing blow but also taking a tumble herself. Breathing hard he catches up, taking a moment to sink his teeth into the jugular of their prey, ripping it out. He always did, not out of bloodlust but because he couldn't stand the idea of the animal lying there suffering. His parents had taught him that the spirits of the forest and creatures watched; and to disrespect a hunt could bring a curse.

Turning to Blitz he smiled, looking a little scary with blood all over his white face. He sniffed her, checking to see if she was hurt. "Are you allright?" he asked, anxiously looking over her silvery fur for any marks. When he saw no blood, he smiled, and lifted his muzzle in a howl, his way of giving thanks for the kill. He looked at her, realizing he would never have been able to catch such an animal alone. Maybe wandering on his own was something he could finally let go of. Realizing he had been staring, he turned his eyes away and back to the carcass, taking a step back. "You brought him down- you eat first."

Blitz rolled into the ground, she hit hard but bounced right back up in excited, she wagged her curly tail slightly and then looked over at Gideon, he smiled at her all blood covered, but she chuckled any way, she felt more confident then before with this male wolf, she licked some blood off his cheek then nodded to him when he asked if she was okay.

Then she quickly turned to the ram, she hadn't eaten in days, she immediately began to rip into the Ram's back leg until she tore it off " You can have the rest! " she said cheerfully to him, a twinkle in her blue eyes, then dug into her feast, her paws and muzzle became slightly stained red onto her silver coat.

Gideon stiffened in surprise as she licked the blood from his cheek, but he soon recovered, his eyes flashing as he smiled. She had taken only a small portion of their kill. He leaned down and sank his teeth into the other haunch, digging in with the claws of his front paws as he ripped the leg from the body. Trotting back toward his new friend like a proud pup, he lay down and began to eat, the sound of his tail a steady thump on the ground.

He finally felt for the first time in a while like he had the energy to do something worthwhile, and as he savored the meat he allowed himself to think of a positive future, rather than dwell on his dark past. He had lost his family, and knew not if his sisters lived. His eyes went a little glassy and blank as he stared off into the horizon, where the sun was beginning to sink down past the treeline. But he broke out of it, turning his gaze back to Blitz as he ate.

"This land.. it's unclaimed, but not really safe." He said, stopping for a few moments to eat and give her time to as well. "Many wolves come here to hunt. Do you, by any chance, have a den, somewhere safe to sleep?"

He didn't want to invite himself, only check if she had somewhere to go. If she did not- he planned on moving on, and would likely ask her to come. Gideon wanted to find a place he could stake a claim on, somewhere secure. He was tired of the life of a rogue.

Blitz layed down beside Gideon and enjoyed her meal, gazing at him as he ate she kept a soft smile on her face as she finished the last of her meal, she felt full for once, she began to lick her paws clean, her ice blue eyes reflected off the setting sun.

She stopped grooming and looked at Gideon, her eyes glanced away for a second as he asked where she stayed, she shrugged " I just wander around mostly and camp out in some dens of trees that's I can find, but I'm not sure about this area. " she felt embarrassed and didn't want this male to know she was quite lost at this point of her travelling.

He watched her as they ate, quickly averting his eyes when she looked at him and caught him staring. Soon the sheep leg was down to nothing but bones, and his energy had skyrocketed. Even though it was nighttime he felt like jumping up right now and getting out of this hunting plain, bringing Blitz with him.

As he listened to her response and saw a slight sense of embarrassment in those icy blue eyes, he spoke up right away. "Oh, Blitz, we are the same." He frowned, the scars on his face glinting in the dying light of the sun. "I... I lost my pack when I was young." He did not mention the details, the way he had abandoned his sisters when things got dangerous, his ultimate shame. "I have been a rogue for a long time, and have no home to call my own. I too sleep wherever I can."

He sighed, looking away for a moment, too nervous to ask if she would come with him to search for a safe place. Instead he went to the sheep and ripped both front legs off as well. Some of the animal would have to be left for the vultures, but if she did decide to come, they could each carry a leg with them and have food for the journey.

ooc; I was thinking at this point we could move the thread to Wildflower Clearing and join up with Sauronis. It's be cool to try and form a pack there & claim the land

[Deleted]

Blitz nodded she agreed with him and felt his sorrow as he spoke about the past, she rubbed against him slightly with a smile, she seen the sun setting but she too felt energetic, " We can travel together if you'd like, I know I'd enjoy the company, I too have been a stray for too long. " she spoke in a soft tone, her eyes staring off into the sunset.

(Kasa, I agree we should move this and join more Wolves!)
