Ravensblood Forest First Hunt

The rabbit was fast, but Vale was faster. He darted along the trail, paws pounding the ground as he ran. His tongue lolled and saliva dripped from his maw as he gained distance on his quarry. It darted to and fro and he followed, hot on it's heels. He was feet from it, nearly on top of it. His maw opened wide and he snatched the rabbit up, shaking it vigorously. He was not yet strong enough for his shaking to kill it, so the rabbit squealed as it flopped about in his jaws.

A low growl sounded from his muzzle and Vale dropped his catch, placing a paw on it to keep it still. He gave a quick bite to it's neck — there was a crunching sound, and the rabbit moved no more. He looked up to his father, almost in disbelief as he said, "I... I caught it, dad!"
