Blood and bones
#2
How lucky she had been today! Revena stumbled upon a fawn who'd been either abandoned, or scared away from it's mother. If not for the circumstances she would have never caught the thing, but here it was bleeding as her sharp claws dug into the baby's tender flesh. The smell of iron filled the air almost bringing out the savage instincts her coyote blood left her with. If not for being raised with a roof over her head and family cooking all her meals for her, she may have devoured the creature right then and there but she was a lady and wouldn't do so. She didn't want to stain her lips red with the blood of her prey.

The baby was stills squirming in her grasp letting loose small high pitched grunts in hopes of attracting help. A sinister smile spread over the coy-dog's maw as she pressed further into the fawn. Sorry dear, but you're not going to be saved. It's all part of life, too bad you'll never get to learn. The spotted fawn continued to bleat out for help, but still, Revena was the only creature within miles, or was she? It was then that she heard the voices of two strangers off in the distance and her ears flicked back. Eyes turned to focus on the deer which she'd have to kill before she scoped the strangers out. The fawn tossed about, kicking it's hind legs right into Revena's tomach and she growled at the small creature as it continued to yell. Shut up! Her knife was drawn from her bag and quickly brought the baby's throat, now out of pure irritation of its annoying bleats and attempts to break free.

Bye. One more bleat, and the air fell silent...aside from the stranger's voices. Crimson stained Revena's hands caused a scowl to form on the chocolate splotched female. At least it was better than her maw becoming stained. A couple moments later, and the fawn was lifeless in her claws. Hurriedly, she picked it up by the hind legs, cleaned and put her dagger away before she moved silently towards the pair. A glimmer of white shined through the trees, a female's brightly colored coat, pure and clean. She'd always been jealous of those with such a lovely coat. Already, she didn't like this woman. Revena knew they'd smell her or see her eventually, but until then she stayed quiet and simply watched them babble.
