Black Hole Sun

Ayaah, got a wee bit carried away.

The usually calm, easy-going demeanor of the man was gone. The earlier kill of the fawn had been nothing more than child's play, something he saw as a game, but this was different. His previous nature was replaced by one that seemed to be of the complete opposite, a serious expression gracing his features. Watching the small group grow closer and closer, his muscles bunched more and more. When the signalling howl invaded his ears, he was off. From his hiding place he jumped, his legs pushing him towards the oncoming group of deer. His hing legs threw him towards them, using his body to knock into one of the leading does.

The move was a foolish one, that much he was sure of, but it had seemed decent enough at the time. The deer had ended up falling over him, as did a few others, and as they rushed to get up, he used it as his chance to attack. In a matter of seconds, he was on one of them, doing his best to avoid the long, flailing legs and rough hooves. Unable to get to the neck, the ghostly male settled for tearing into the cervine's side. When Kove pulled back, the crimson liquid was clear across his muzzle, but he still plunged back in to deepen the wound until he was positive it'd be enough to end the animal. The creature was still moving when he'd finished his task, but it no longer held his focus. Again, Kove was off, running down another, larger doe. It hadn't been one to fall over his form, or had it? He couldn't tell, especially since they'd already regained their footing and continued on with their feeble attempts to escape. Pathetic, really. This one put up a much larger fight, managing to hit his shoulder once or twice, but the male wasn't so quick to give in. No, he continued after it, a fool's errand really, until he'd gotten around it.

His idea had been to block it's path with his body, but what he hadn't expected was for it to keep on it's path towards him. Stepping out of the way at nearly the last minute, he forced his legs to throw him forward once more, sending both himself and the doe to the ground. Returning to his upright position, he lunged forward with his front legs outstretched, finally able to get the deer down long enough to sink his teeth into it's neck, and jerk his head back to tear the flesh away. The tearing wasn't needed, but with the chase the creature gave, he felt it only necessary that it be killed as quickly as he was able. With that done, Kove stopped in order to catch his breath, but no more than a minute later he was off again, chasing down another deer.
