Swiftcurrent Creek They're smirking at fresh blood

Benedict was the first to arrive, followed soon by Rosalie. Kavik gave them both an appreciative nod, repeating the gesture as Soltero joined them. There's a large buck among the herd today, he started quietly, assuming everyone was familiar with the herd that frequented the creek. Four hunters should be enough, the alpha continued, emerald gaze moving over the three that had answered his call. Rosalie and Benedict, You two cut the rest of the herd in the opposite direction of Soltero and myself as we draw the attention of the buck, then-- he didn't get a chance to finish laying out his strategy as his voice was soon drowned out by the banging of hooves on the ground as the herd came stampeding towards them, the young female, Talos, weaving between the startled beasts. 

His eyes whipped to the buck running not far behind the girl as if he were chasing her. We can still save this. I'll distract him and you guys just pile on him and bring him to the ground, he instructed, his words fast and loud. Without wasting time to make sure everyone understood, the alpha turned and jumped into the fleeing mess of deer just as Talos sped by him in a blur of charcoal. The buck continued to charge forward, this time aiming his large antlers for Kavik, who promptly evaded the formidable weapons with a jump to the side, effectively stealing his attention and allowing Talos to escape. Just as quickly, he rushed forward towards the angry bull, jaws snapping the air in front of him to keep his attention. He repeated the pattern--taunt and dodge, taunt an doge, hoping his packmates would jump in and do their part to take the creature down.
