Big Salmon Lake But one thing will never change

Maia had never been able to really catch a rabbit in a flat-out run. She wasn't a sprinter and, usually, if they were able to get to ground they had a pretty easy time doing so before she caught up. Hunting in large groups terrified her, but hunting with Wraen had always been easier than hunting alone. This was a lot like that.

One of the rabbits nearly ran straight into her in it's panic to get away from Amalia. Maia let out a squeak of surprise when it appeared, and almost let it go, but her newfound friend's voice spurred her into lunging.

She caught it by a hind leg. It started to kick to get free immediately, and let out a shrill and horrible sound, but Maia was not going home empty handed!! She thrust out a paw, flattening it and holding it firmly in place while she snatched it by the neck instead. At that point it was over quickly (thankfully). She hated when they screamed.

Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. Maia beamed at Amalia after she let the rabbit fall at her feet. She would have felt horrible, taking whatever Amalia caught, so she was thrilled she'd gotten one of her own!! There was no way she could have done it by herself.
