IC: The blood moon rises

[A Venomous Kiss]

A half hearted smile was all she could have ever asked for and her tail wagged harder than before. She thought twice as she listened to Sapphira's words and wondered if the fish in the pond would subdue a never ending hunger. Granted, Keira was a big wolf..but she was by no means any match for big game. At least not in this form..

Like Sapphira, she had yet another form that she rarely revealed. It was her 'were' form, where when tranformed she stood over six feet in height..had a massive build, enormous strength and tremendous speed. Somehow though if she told this male that she was going to go hunting, she felt that he would somehow seek to take away her glory. She was still young and had yet to surmount the many tribulations of effective hunting..but she was getting better at it. Barking once in response to Sapphira, she trotted off towards the entrance of the cave, quickly bypassing Valadrir by moving beneath the 'drawn' waterfalls and then drifting off towards the tree's.

Sapphira, We are both hungry and I fear the fish will not be able to ride over our bellies for long. I will go hunt.. Care to join me?

In that moment, she turned her head away and closed her eyes. Her body once again became to change on command, her hindquarters shifted beneath her and her form grew out and elevated. Her forelegs lengthened as her hind, everything got quite a bit bigger. Shaking her head making a "bbbrrrrrr' sound, she stood a good six foot in height..more so in length. Gargantuan paws with 'finger like' appendages stretched before she fell back to all fours as she turned around. Moving up the side of Sapphira, she bowed down with her front end..arching her back. We need to go further into the forest..deer and such will not be so close to the city. Get on..I will carry you if you'd like to come.

Silver tuff's of hair ran down the middle of her neck and through her shoulders like a horse's mane, thus giving Sapphira something to hold if she chose to come along.

[Sapphira]

Watching Keira trot off she followed suit behind her. The cold air slammed into her sending shivers down her spine. She tilted her head looking at Keira. "Yeah i'll join you but not in human form. It's too cold." Shifting up beside her matching her size she let out a soft purr. "Much better." Standing up she bumped Keira with her hip before launching herself into the forest.

[A Venomous Kiss]

Sapphira had decided to take her feline form and it didn't take long for them to set off into the forest. Enormous strides carried her swiftly and cunningly through the winding tree's, her silver pelt brushing by the lush plants with a slight 'whoosh'. One could only hear the air..the breeze in the leaves..nothing more than the natural songs of the forest. It didn't take long before she caught wind of a deer..and then the hunt was on.

         ******

At one point, she had sent a message to Sapphira explaining that she had found their dinner and eagerly set off. She did not run, instead she stalked. Her large paws became grounded to the forest floor, sinking fiercely into the body of mud..thus allowing pure silence. Each movement she made was calculated precisely and her vice-like stare never left her quarry.

Not fifty feet from her, the deer was grazing and was totally unprepared for what was to come. A grim fate provided by the massive jaws of what would be considered a monster.

Yet as Keira continued to close in; a fault. Snap. A twig that seemed to come out of no where shattered beneath her weight and suddenly, her position was blown. The prey in which she had been hunting popped it's head up out of her pure instinct..she didn't have a choice. She had to take it..

Launching herself forward from the depths of the foilage, it had turned into a massive competition of speed and ability. A blur of white..a flash of brown, her talons dug deep for traction, her tail was held out for balance as she leapt onto the back.

Her weight alone caused the deer to stumble, her massive jaws clamping forcefully around the doe's neck. It began to fight, pawing and kicking to the best of it's abilities..but to no avail. Keeping it held down, the screams echoed through out the terrain.

What felt like hours was only minutes..she could feel the life slowly draining from the trembling body. It's alright little one..you will be with your brothers and sister's soon..

She called to her beloved, hopefully she wasn't too far off. Sapphira..come and eat. Dinner is served..

[Sapphira]

Sapphira skidded to a halt her hind legs spinning around leaving her facing the other direction. "That was fast." She replied to Keira as she took off towards her. Her stomach rumbled as she made her way thru the thick foliage of the forest. A small clearing laid ahead were her companion and dinner awaited her. Slowing down she stepped into the clearing.

She gave Keira a nudge with her muzzle to say thank you. Sitting next to her she leaned into her slightly purring softly. "After you dear."

[Lord Validrir]

Validrir watched as the two rushed off into the woods and vanished. He sat by the water and looked off into the night. In truth he was not hungry and so he would wait. The two beings he'd encountered still interested him and he would like to speak to them somemore.

[A Venomous Kiss]

Even as Sapphira approached her, instinct kept telling her not to let the beast in her mouth go. She could still hear the dying heart beat, it was slowing..skipping..but it was still attempting to keep the doe alive. She could feel the creature trembling and falling into a ceisure as it went into cardiac arrest. But alas..she wanted to make sure it was dead before she released it from her vice like grip.

The blood pouring from the inflicted wound washed into her maw causing her jaw to clamp even harder, perhaps a jerk here and there followed by a gruntled growl. She didn't say anything..she was too focused..but all in all, she hoped that Sapphira would start eating while the meat was still fresh.

[Sapphira]

After a few moments Sapphira decided to go ahead and start eating. Her teeth tore thru the deers soft flesh. The meat tearing from the bone as she jerked back. Even with the life drained from the deer it still laid there twitching. The rumbling of her stomach grew fainter the more she ate, purring replacing  it. Looking up at Keira her large pink tongue ran along her lips lapping up the blood.

A grin forming on her silvery muzzle as she licked Keir's nose. "Eat my dear."

Ooc: My apologies for the monstrous delay..IRL has had it's icy hand wrapped around me and I have been unable to post.

IC:
At last, the creature that was clamped between her jaws of devistation fell into darkness. No longer did she feel the struggle to hold onto what life was left and with the satisfaction of her kill complete, she released the doe from her hold. A thick mixture of blood and saliva drizzled off her maw while she casually surveyed their current surroundings.

Crossing her forelegs over as she surpassed Sapphira, she eventually lay down next to her and began to tear into the stomach of her victim. The essence of the fresh meat and blood could have sent her into a frenzy, but to her own discretion for the beauty sitting next to her. They would feed together; this 'meal' would at last them at least a week..since there was only the two of them.
