Decided this was the closest in-between place between the packs....Hope it's okay. They're just trying to return from a hunt. I suck, forgive the weirdo and my suckish post D:

Perhaps her infatuation had gone just a little too far.
Small hands gripped the small ermine's skull, for hours she had worked--cleaning the tissue from the now bleached ivory, and this one was not the first. It had started upon finding a small mouse, half rotting in the depths of her home. Who knew what had bewitched her, to entice her to boiling the flesh away, to display the tiny bone structure in her quarters. And this one, had become so beautiful. None was left of the tendons and muscles, not a hair remained. Forever it was baring a sadistic grin. It was the teeth the youth admired the most, as everyone knew--White like ivory and sharp like daggers, it seemed much in her control that she had dominated something.
Of course, Ellie's ways were not overly messy or remotely wasteful. Nor did she viciously kill anything in her view. This was no wrongful and unmeaningful rampage. She imagined herself making a beautiful fur cloak, and meandering into the pack, with the cloak tickling her ankles, looking quite like royalty with something the slightest bit dangerous. Whatever meat was to be taken and of value was salvaged, as well as the soft furs for curing later. On her fourth kill, the Lykoi began to consider herself a trapper of sorts. Of what she cherished most, the girl had found herself something less stressful. From just feet away where the Zepar kneeled, was her companion Zayden. He said nothing about this, but eyed her curiously as he kindled the small fire. They had ventured away from the pack for hours, and by now he was a bit tired. Near stood the horse, packed with fresh furs and laden with small skulls strewn with rope through the eyesockets to keep them up. Should we continue, Zay? Smiling, Elody stretched her legs, standing still, holding the ermine skull preciously.
