Two powerful black bodies slipped threw the darkness of the forest both moved with a deadly silence of the predators that they were. One was as black as pitch the other had the speckling of grey in the black coat and a leather collar graced her powerful neck. Both were moving in unison as they were on the hunt. A mother teaching her young how to hunt and take down prey.
The forest was my playground I was at home here just as much as I was inside the castle. Lifting my head up as a black nose twitched scenting the air light for the smell of prey. Small pin point black ears flickered back and forth listening to the sounds carried by the wind. tipping my head to look over to my son Onyx seeing him stop beside me and mimic what I was doing. I let out a soft and low woofing sound to him letting him know to stay put and wait my signal. Crouching down so that my belly skimmed the ground s I stalked forward scenting out a young deer to take down or rather for him to take down.
Dark eyes were alert and watchful as i stalked the deer closely letting the occasional twig snap under my massive paws to herd the deer in the right direction. Once the deer was headed where i wanted it to go. I popped up and let out a full throat ed scream that sent the deer into a full out run. I stayed on the deer's heels chasing it towards my son. I started to hang back a bit but the sound of my running behind it was enough to keep it going full tilt.
I listened to the sounds and knew my son was close by I would not leave him alone on the off chance something went wrong. When I caught sight of the black streak that was my son I hung back even farther watching him take the deer down with the deadly easy that came with being a predator of the woods. I padded up to him and the downed deer and shook my head when he growled at me now that was a really bad idea.
Small pin point ears flattened back against my head as the scream that came from me was filled with a rage and fury unknown to any of my kind it was a long held and pent up energy in part it was also the sorrow at the news of loosing one of my own. I swiped out with a massive paw cuffing my son upside the head hard. I was not going to play and he was going to figure that our right quick and in a hurry like. The hit alone knocked him on his black behind. I snarled and growled lowly letting him know that challenging me was not a smart idea on his part.
Once he got that into his head all would be good. He shook his head and got back up and lunged at me oh wrong idea I leapt over his head and landed softly on the ground behind him cuffing him on the ass end this time. I did not have my claws out I didn't see the need to harm him just teach him a lesson. He whirled around growling and snarling at me I wasn't about to back down to my own son nah not gonna happen. Small ears remained flattened as he advanced on me again I stood still waiting for him to make a move. He wiped out at me and he connected as I cried out cause he had his claws out. Now he had gone and done it I wasn't gonna play any more. My own claws whispered out to touch the soft ground of the forest floor. I shifted my massive body a bit as my long tail lashed back and forth like a whip showing my aggravation.
I was a seasoned fighter compared to my son he was still learning how to fight and kill where as I had done so more times that I cared to think about or even to remember. I knew there was a low hanging limb above us so I made the single needed leap up to the limb and looked down to my son who screamed out his frustration me I sat down for now on the limb with a look that said "You will learn eventually" I shook my head a bit and then yawned and watched as he paced back and forth below me. I watched and waited till he was directly below me and then I made my move I lept down upon his back clamping my jaws down hard upon the back of his neck snarling into the back of his neck to drive my point home.
Once he showed his submission to me I let go and walked off to clean myself and let him enjoy his meal. I just watched I had already killed and ate my fill prior to taking him out to hunt perhaps in time I would put him with Dorian he was strong of heart and hard of head kinda like me.
