Blacktail Deer Plateau backseat freestyle

the chasing quartet slipped away from the rest of the pack, a blend of grays and browns save for starbelly's, her pelt the color of night. on dawn's orders, they cut away the does and chased them away from the rest of the pack. their big black eyes panicked, the deer scattered every which way, looking for an escape from their tormentors.

then aditya heard pema's bark, and noticed she had found a deer who was not outright injured but certainly limping along slower than the rest of her counterparts. with a flick of his tail, he acknowledged her call and joined her, the two running in tandem near the weak one.

to weaken the doe now would make the waiting party's job of taking it down that much easier. using his burly size and brute strength, for all he lacked speed, he lunged at the doe and raked his foreclaws down her flank, intending to hold on but slipping off awkwardly at the last second. nevertheless, the doe bleated in pain, now bleeding and travelling a bit slower, gait choppier than before.
