Alpine Lake Left Behind To The Wolves

The girl had been left behind while he searched for a target on his own. Stilted limbs carried him across the terrain as swiftly as they could while a pair of sharp tangerine eyes sought movement of any kind to allow him a chance – a hope – that he might feast. The red girl had been good enough, but without her sight it was an easy task to keep her in a singular space for an extended amount of time. They had tasted of fat and saline, as though her tears had softened them and made them plump like grapes.

Circling wide around the lake, Ithrik spotted another red figure and thought that his catch might have escaped. As he drew nearer to her, he realized that this was an entirely different specimen. Delight curled his toes in such a way that he swaggered when he walked. Approaching her with a curling smile, the devil waited to see if she might run.
