Stone Circle How to get away with murder

She listened carefully as Valette explained that doe often left their babies throughout the day. How convenient for the wolves! She turned to follow her mom, but not before glancing at @Stark, and wondered if he was going to follow. He seemed glued to Valette, and she gave him a knowing grin before turning and catching up with Valette's retreating form. 

She paused alongside Valette, her eyes scanning to spot the baby deer, with one ear turned towards her instructor. The neck and underbelly? she said in question-form. When the talking was over, Steph crouched and started forward slowly. Her paws were planted purposely as she stalked the fawn, doing her best not to make any noise. She saw the movement when the fawn twitched at ear. It wasn't a big movement, but it gave it away. She went stil for a moment, and then darted towards her intended target. 

She got pretty close before the fawn decided to make a run for it. Steph reached out with her front leg, swiping at the back leg of the fawn to trip it up. It worked, but not enough for the fawn to go down. It regained its balance and zig zagged away from the predator. Steph growled and picked up her speed. She hadn't realized fawns could be so agile. Still, she matched the prey, turn for turn. She started to track which way it went, and found the pattern. So, when it made its next turn, Steph was ready for it. She tripped it up again, this time using her claws to help keep some form of a grip. Her body followed as she lunged on the fawn, her open jaws going for the back of the neck to stop it from running away again.

When she was confident she caught it, she used her weight to hold it in place as her jaws found the underside of its neck, and she sunk her teeth into its flesh. Blood seeped from the punctures, and the fawn kicked and protested loudly. Steph hung on, and after a few minutes, the fawn hung limp in her jaws. Her sides heaved from the hunt, and she dropped the body in favor of getting more air. She looked to Valette with a bloody smile, hoping she was pleased with how she had taken it down.
