Moonspear Catch and release

Wildfire took off and the rabbits bolted in all directions before seemingly realizing they needed to head for the den. Dash's body wanted to bolt after them, but he held fast, waiting for the right moment. His partner in the hunt was going to get there first, and it seemed like the rabbits figured that out just as he did because they turned in the opposite direction, thinking she was going to continue to come after them. She stopped at their den, and Dash took over.

He leapt over the fallen log and went for the closest rabbit, who certainly was not expecting him. It faltered, its fear working against it as it scrambled, not knowing which way to go. It gave Dash the edge he needed and he pounced on the frightened hare, his jaws going straight for the back of its neck. He sunk his fangs in and gave it a quick jerk, breaking its neck and killing it quickly. He lifted his head to look for Wildfire, the hare hanging limp from his jaws. Settling his gaze on her, he trotted over, dropping the hare between them. It worked! he said with a smile, blood dripping from his mouth.
