Arlette had been watching from the stones. She had been watching from a distance how the pack split. One group went after the big herd and the other group only went after one. Arlette wasn't sure why but later it made sense. The group was chasing away the big pack. The bison was fighting and Arlette noted how Vespera had gotten a kick, and how close her mother had been to almost get hit. Arlette watched in amazement.

As soon as the other group joined them, the bison seemed to fall. They were with so many that they almost had to win. She noted that some were on top of the prey to keep it down while others were biting and hurting the animal. Once the victory howl sounded the female saw it as an okay for her to come out from the stone circle. The female rushed down the hill towards her pack members. She wanted to join too!

The girl got to the group and tried to join with the howl, but she was probably a bit late. The pale girl rushed to her mother and curiously glanced at the bison. Blood was everywhere and she couldn't remember seeing so much blood after a hunt. Her mother didn't really smell like herself. Arlette glanced around to the adults, was she allowed to approach the beast? It was so big! She felt really tiny compared to it.

Brynn kept her position until she felt the bison draw its last breath. Finally she let go, blood staining her face where she had sliced into the creature's flesh. She panted heavily from exertion as and exhilarated grin spread across her face. A bison was a formidable prey, and they had worked together to successfully take this one down; it was a good feeling. Valette released a triumphant howl, followed by Greyback and then one of the pups, Arlette. Brynn wasted no time lifting her muzzle to the sky to release a howl of her own, the wolf music drifting across the plains to tell of their successful hunt.

While everyone had a serious, and stoic atmosphere concerning the hunt; Aerasha was skipping along chasing the others away, as 'per instructed,' but really she was more enjoying the game of tag. Like frolicking in a meadow, she continued this till' her brown ears hear the sound of the others howling at the achievement of the bison. She didn't even notice they managed to take one down, as she was far too long gone in her own world until they started the howl.

Aerasha turned away from the seperated herd, and with a soft smile slowly came to join the crowd; albiet late but she arrived beside the musical, listening along to their achievement.

It would not take long for the beast to go limp after Valette plunged her teeth into the creature's throat. When the thrashing finally stopped, Ira let her jaw relax, blood shining around her maw with a sigh of relief. The whole hunt had happened so fast it felt like a blur, but their efforts were rewarded with a meal large enough to feed everyone. Large game was dangerous, but it looked like they managed to get away with minimal injuries. As her packmates came together to howl, the stone colored wolf would raise her head to join them.

Vespera watched from a distance as her packmates joined in the howl signaling a successful hunt. However Vespera didn't join in, she might have gave a little howl but that was about it. She watched as her packmates circled around the limp animal, however the young female stayed her distance. Vespera wasn't use to eating while others were eating before her since she was always made to eat last or what ever was left. The female slowly sat down since the pain on her side was screeching at her. She wasn't proud of her contribution on the hunt since she embarrassingly got a kick to the side, and the only real damage she did was to its eye, and the bison's eye was already small enough so her pitching in wasn't much help. The others had done more than she did and that thought only hurt her self esteem more. Vespera looked at her side, she noticed a bit of a wound mark on her side but she only ignored it since she didn't want to seem weak to the others. She turned her glance back at the others, she watched as they began to get their fill, as she waited for her turn.

Success! Steph joined in on the howl with the pack, excited that they had worked together to bring the beast down. And, now, they would feast. She jumped off the bison and dug in with the others, ripping off chunks and gulping them down without chewing much. Her gaze went to Vespera, who was sitting quietly on the sidelines. Tail wagging in happiness, she ripped off a chunk of the bison's side, and trotted over to the other female. She dropped the offering in front of her, a bloody grin appearing on her face. Dig in! she invited, before going back to the carcass.

Greyback watched as the others ended their howls, their gazes focusing on the carcass of the bison and some beginning to dig in. However, he stepped back and would wait till all the others had their fill. Greyback knew he was big, bigger than all the members present and probably would eat the most. It wouldn't be fair for him to eat until all the others did, regardless of ranking order. He was not that hungry anyway.

He watched as Steph tore off a piece, bringing it over to Vespera who was sitting far away. Was she okay? He was curious to why she wasn't joining in or even sitting close like he was. Perhaps it was nerves? He decided to let it go, Steph was already handling it.

Glancing back to the others, the elder caught sight of Arlette's tiny white form among them, her body language hesitant. Chuckling, he approached the group again and stood above her before placing a heavy paw onto the bison's back and biting down into the hide. It was tough to tear, but as Greyback tugged harshly over and over, slightly jostling the kill, he was able to finally rip and opening for the girl. "Eat up, Arlette." he commanded in a gentle tone before stepping back, licking at the blood that bathed over his muzzle.

Vespera sat quietly as her pack mates ate their filling. The female's stomach began to growl as she waited patiently. She could have gone over herself and gotten her fill, however her instincts of past pack experiences have lead her to wait till everyone was done. However what caught her eye was the female Steph. She watched as the female howled along with the pack and began to eat. But then Steph had glanced in her direction, and Vespera jolted her head back slightly and gave a confused look. She watched as the female dug into the bison's side and ripped a chunk off of it. Vespera observed that Steph was taking the chunck in her jaws and delivering it straight to Vespera. The female felt a little tense since she had never met the female, but she didn't react in any certain way. She glanced down as Steph dropped the bloody chunk of meat in front of her paws, Vespera could only blink in confusion as she glanced back at the jet black female as the blood was dripping from her fangs. Steph had then told her to dig in with a smile as the blood had stained her teeth. Vespera was at first unsettled with this gesture but she mustered enough courage to laugh a little and give a big awkward smile. "Uhhh.... Thanks?" Vespera tried to sound as genuine as she could as she watched Steph head back to the carcass. Vespera's smile faded when Steph wasn't looking, and Vespera looked down at the chunk of bison at her paws. She pinned her ears back a little as annoyance began to rise in her throat Ack, pity meat, that so helps me with my self esteem.. She sarcastically thought to herself, but she could only slightly blame herself since she didn't go over and eat the bison herself. The female and ate her fill as she mentally beat herself up.

Valette was pleased with the hunt. She eagerly started to open up the beast and dig in. She was hungry and as the alpha she took her liberty to just eat when she wanted. However, she was not going to let her members wait. They would all join this feast together. The female noticed that Greyback sat back to wait and eat. This was the perfect example of how they worked in Easthollow. Greyback might hold the highest rank of all the non leadership wolves but he would let them eat first before he would. They didn't have a clear rank structure based on dominance. All pack mates are equal, part of their family.

Valette offered a smile when the male helped Arlette. It was great to see such size differences interact with one another. When looking back this was a good hunt. They would be able to eat from this bison for days. She watched Steph and Vespera. She was proud of her daughter as well for interacting with others more, and being helpful to the wolves that were probably not used to this. Valette could only feel overjoyed to see everyone interact and feast from this large meal. Arlette seemed to be enjoying the meat as well. She could almost vanish in the large bison's chest. She couldn't imagine how that must be for the pup.
