Haunted Wood We make our own future.

omg Towhee XD <3

Things were actually looking pretty good for the pair of them, at least as far as the chase was concerned. Towhee was within inches of their quarry's heels and Raven was right behind her. Whatever anxiety she'd been feeling moments before had been lost somewhere in the pounding of her heart and the racing of her adrenaline as deeply-ingrained instincts drove her on. The phantom taste of warm meat made her mouth run with saliva and her belly growled as she prepared to follow Towhee in for the kill.

...And then in an absolutely spectacular display of destruction, Towhee went down and smashed the ground with a thump that Raven actually felt. It was all she could do to avoid tripping over Towhee and doing the same herself, but somehow she managed to twist and jump awkwardly over her fallen sister. As she skidded to a stop, panting to the beat of the blood pounding in her ears, she felt a momentary urge to keep going and try to bring down lunch herself. Realizing that was ridiculous, though, she turned to see Towhee rising to her feet.

She was dismayed at the sight of the girl's broken teeth laying in the dirt. -"Oh, Towhee,"- she commented softly, eyeing the girl's mouth as the ghost of the mother she had been to Towhee stirred somewhere deep inside her. No mother liked to see her child's perfect teeth broken. -"Those weren't baby teeth, you klutz."- She cleaned away a few droplets of blood from her sister's chin, hoping there wasn't more damage beneath the surface. Towhee had hit the ground hard.
