WC:: 1213 - I really wanted the 'Over 1000 word count' points lol - OOC Mature theme involved - Torture. Set during late afternoon. Points - 10 + 12. Specialization Thread - 'Torturer Is skilled in giving pain, and is interested in coming up with new ways to interrogate others.'

It seemed that a lot of the other Anathema pack members had companion animals with them. Kai had seen birds, horses and cats freely roaming around the lands and dens. It had never been something that he had been used to - his own pack had never been much in favour of mingling with lower species, let alone keeping them as friends or pets. It was a way Malakai enjoyed. It was also down to his own pack that he spent so little time in his Optime form, more of a habit he guessed though. Though, after a run-in with a fellow pack members pet cat, it had got Kai thinking about these smaller creatures and just how prevalent they were in these parts. He knew of low-speak but didn't practise it himself, having little interest in conversing with the creatures, wondering if they would even have anything of value to say.

As Kai trotted in his Secui form, away from the civilization of the dens towards the forests, he caught a scent heavy on the air. Slowing, he lifted his muzzle high and inhaled deeply, before he icked his jaws. Rabbits, and lots of them, scurrying about in broad daylight without a care in the world, it seemed. Weren't they worried about what might be out hunting them? Stupid little creatures. They would know soon enough what was hunting them. His keen eyes scouted the ground for signs of their tracks, his nose nestling about in the leaves and grass that covered the ground before he felt a rumble of a growl resonate from within his chest. And so, following his nose, Kai trotted further into the woods, stopping every once in a while to listen, his ears pricking when he heard their movements, until eventually, he spotted not just one, but a dozen of the animals. Malakai sank low to the ground, his dark fur helping to hide him from them. He was already downwind, something that worked in his favour, and made a sadistic smirk widen over his features.

He watched for what seemed like an hour but was in fact closer to only a few minutes, as the rabbits hopped about idly, totally unaware of the fate that would soon befall them. Their cozy little world would be shattered by the brute, and he would gladly tear them apart. The sun was lowering in the sky, casting an orange hue where the sunlight permeated through the canopy of the forest, and slowly, a spear of light fell upon Malakai's still and silent form. Surely the stupid creatures would spot him, waiting there, for precisely the right moment to strike. But they didn't stiffen, didn't bolt as they rightfully should. Instead, they continued oblivious to the predator that lurked nearby. When a couple of rabbits approached his position and began innocently nibbling on some of the lush greenery, Kai could wait no longer and suddenly, the idylic woodland became a chaotic battleground of speed, agility and wits. His muscles bunched as he pounced upon the small animals, immediatly sending the colony scattering. The majority all darted towards their nearby warren, but the two that Kai had his eyes on were unfortunate not to make it there.

One front paw swiped at the one to his right, knocking the animal off its feet and sidelong into a heavy treetrunk, its small body spasming a few times before it went limp. The second was quick, but it could not hope to outrun the snapping of Malakai's powerful jaws. With his enhanced speed given his Secui form, it had no hope from the start. As his jaws locked around the rabbits' body, his body skidded to a stop, his head shaking violently from side to side, holding the creature like a vice in a steel trap. It let out tiny, high-pitched squeals, telling of its peril, but there was none around to translate. He could have easily killed the animal then and there, but as he felt the rabbit's hind legs kick out, hoping to perhaps dislodge itself, something was triggered in the black male. It had such power in its muscles, he could feel it, and surely it had speed. It would have outrun many things, but today was not its lucky day. Kai wondered why these powerful hind legs had so fatally let it down today. And so, shifting into the form he so rarely used, his Optime form, he slowly rose onto two legs and plucked the rabbit from his jaws. It still wriggled and squirmed, hoping for a last-minute reprieve, but as he held it aloft before him, Kai inspected the bloody little rabbit, not as a prospective meal, but as a collection of parts - bones and muscles and tissue and organs.

Gripping the rabbit by the fur at the back of its neck, Kai walked a little further into the woods, until he found something of a clearing, and a fallen tree. It would do as a workbench. Pinning the creature down onto its back upon the fallen trunk, Kais grip now around the short neck, Kai glanced around near him for something he could use. When he spotted a small but sharp-edged rock, he grinned, and looked down to the wriggling animal. "You're going to be my first, my test subject. You're going to show me all of your insides..." His eyes burned like hot coals and without pause or hesitation, he used his free hand to pull hard on one of it's hind legs, feeling the bone snap, before doing the same to the other. He wouldn't have to worry about escape. Using the sharp edge of the rock he picked up, he slit his way down the belly of the animal, taking quite a few goes to cut through its fur. The squeals only drove him on, and when blood began to matt the animals' fur, the scent did the same. He kept the rabbit alive for as long as he could, tossing the stone aside once it had done its job, prefering to use his hand to dive inside the opened belly. He even felt it's tiny heart race against his finger before it gave up. It thrilled him so utterly and fascinated him intensely. Each time his hand emerged, it pulled with it inner organs that glistened in the weak afternoon sun. Intestines, stomach, bladder, all were torn free and laid upon the trunk alongside their owner, before Kai did the same to its small lungs and heart. His eyes cast over them - now he knew what lay within the animals belly, but it would take far more research in working out which caused the most pain when attacked. At least he knew general anatomy now. Lesson learnt.

Not expecting anyone to come nearby, Kai didn't mind much that he was in his Optime form and had no clothes on or with him. He would return to his den in his Lupus form so had no need for any. But he would need to wash the blood from his black pelt at some point and so took the decision to leave the dead animal where it was, spread open and empty of its contents, in favour of finding a stream perhaps.
