Ravensblood Forest And if you long to never die

She was caught off guard by the heat of his stare; she had been focused on the hunt, so when he held her gaze longer than was necessary, her face warmed, and she gave him a shy smile. She was thoroughly distracted, which seemed something that happened far too easily in his presence. His words pulled her focus back to the task, though, and she forced her gaze away from him and back to the prey that was, thankfully, still grazing unsuspectingly. 

She moved when he did, heading in the opposite direction. She quietly moved closer, hunched and ready for the right moment to spring forward. The snap of twig near where she suspected Donovan to be hiding had the two deer lifting their heads in unison to stare at the place the sound came from. She used that moment to lunge forward, a snarl and snap of teeth announcing her presence in the small clearing in which they had been grazing. 

The deer sprang into action, thundering forward towards her partner. She closed the distance between herself and the doe and snapped her teeth at the muscle of her thigh. The doe kicked out her leg, barely missing Simmik's shoulder, but the move did not deter her. She continued the dance as she herded them towards Donovan, hoping once they were close enough, he would jump out and make his move.
