Haunted Wood The sun also rises

Watching the wolves work at the elk, Reyes could tell it would not be long before it gave up its ghost. The more lissome of the dark wolves moved in to the beast's chest and neck where it worried the skin, meanwhile the larger man sank his teeth with some finality in to the flesh and began the thrashing that would cut short the elk's life. Blood overtook all other scents and smells for a time; vibrant and overpowering.

Reyes turned away as a sense of revulsion parried with the conflagration of other emotions. He heard the beast collapse in to the mud alongside the heavy breathing of those involved, and waited tensely for the scene to unfold. As he waited the blood would flow and drain across the mud, in to those sticky hollows left in the wake of the elk's path, soon to be absorbed by the earth.

When Reyes had control of himself again he would be able to turn around and help with the butchery, so for that he waited.
