Ravensblood Forest the woods are lovely, dark and deep

Laksha was sprawled on a thick tree's branch, grooming herself. One paw was wet with saliva, which she drew across her face in an effort to rid herself of the mask of blood that had dried on her face. The mask had become quite uncomfortable and tight as it dried, though it gave her an even more scary appearance. The feline prepared to wet her paw again when a cry nearby jerked her away suddenly. If anyone had seen her, it might have looked cute, with her tongue still sticking out and her eyes wide and somewhat innocent.* But that cute factor went away when she identified the species behind that cry. "Wollff..."

Purring, the white cougar leapt down from her perch, prowling towards the noise. It sounded young, a pup maybe? Her belly was already full of goat meat from the mountains and she had a stash if she ever got hungry again, but the cougar did not only kill for food. Sometimes, she simply killed for the fun of it. But maybe she would just play with the pup, torture it a bit. Following the river, she got closer and closer to the pup, tail twitching with anticipatement.
