Haunted Wood That Meal I Promised You

Santi held a sweet smile for a few seconds after he begins walking, mind still stuck on the other male. He lifts his head to take a break from his incessant sniffing to gaze towards the other. Ghostly eyes watch the male so much smaller than himself as his ears swivel, listening for any signs of food. 

Santi fitfully gets back on track and his eyes scout the horizon. He sees something. He’s not sure what yet. He stops dead in his tracks eyes fixated on the animal in the distance and tilts his chin up in the direction in a type of nod to the other wolf. “Something out there.” He whispers as he begins walking for it again. 

They come closer and it appears to be a smaller doe. The tall leggy animal walks about aimlessly nibbling on the berries that grow on nearby bushes. Santi grins, they’ve found the packs next meal.

Turning towards his companion he comes in closer, maybe unnecessarily close, to the other and lowers his head. “You stay behind it since you’re faster than me. I’ll sneak around the other side and jump her. Just bring her towards me.” He plans in a whisper, hoping it’ll actually work.
