Hidden by the dark forest, predator observed prey. One false move and an explosion would occur, but it was not yet time. Instinct-driven, no time for wandering thoughts or emotion. Only time to acquire what was wanted, needed. The rabbit's head rose from the grass it had been nibbling on, its nose twitched, and Norchester could have sworn its eyes widened a little, but before it had time to act upon what it had just realized, Norchester did. The leaves beneath her feet flew up in a flurry, marking the spot where she had once been hiding carefully. Her perfectly poised body leaped fully into the air, no need to take the few steps to get closer. A blur of grays and browns and whites and then silence, the snapped neck causing the rabbit to hang limply from the jaws of its attacker.
Norchester laid the rabbit down before her, observing the life she had just ended in order to prolong her own. The rabbit's face was in a contorted sort of grin, as if recognizing it was defeated and couldn't help but laugh at the fact. The feet, once cherished for their luck by humans, now lay unmoving and seemed to be acknowledging the fact that they'd come so far, but now it was over. One last glance at the shell of a creature now gone, and Norchester tore into the meat, satisfying her hunger. |
