He ran as fast as he could, not once allowing his eyes to leave the doe he and his partner chased. Yet, he remained aware of most everything else that was going on around him. Jazper ran with him, the girls lay in wait, the terrified herd scattered as each pair of soft brown eyes widened with nothing less than utter terror. Adrenaline moved him faster, until Anu lunged for the doe's tender side to slow it down. Savina, beautifully intense in her desire to kill, took her place in front of the deer while Naniko took hold of a hind leg with the smart intent of tripping the animal.
With one leap from the large, charcoal male, Jazper and the three girls had the deer down. Kansas didn't feel comfortable killing it - this was for someone else to do; not him. The doe struggled pitifully as he moved around and gripped the back of its neck with his fangs, placing one paw on the brown fur to help hold it still. The deer must have known by now that its struggles wouldn't save it, and calmed ever so slightly, as if waiting for its life to end.
