Kovu's and Luna's Hunt

[ienzodarkness]

Luna trotted at a steady pace,keeping her senses up. She was with a new wolf,and she didn't know anything about him other than his name was Kovu. I better keep my guard up just in case. She halted and looked to the new wolf,shaking out her pelt. Snow had begun to fall,but it was obvious it was going to come sooner or later. She let out a shaky breath,before stating one small thing. Lets do this. She looked ahead,and slowly padded forward,wondering if this Kovu was going to aid her in hunting something big,or if she would just have to stick with the few rabbits that would be bounding around looking for the last amounts of vegetation.

[jwolf]

Kovu followed after Luna, keeping his senses open. He had a feeling that Luna was wary of him. They couldn't hunt something big if she wont trust him to have her back.
Let's get something big, like a young deer or something. Revera might be up for something mote than a couple of rabbits...
Kovu gave Luna a smile, his golden eyes warm.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna looked to Kovu and gave a small smile back. As long as you're up for it she joked. She scanned the undergroth,thinking for a moment. I don't think there would be any boars out...Looks like we're just going to have to go for a deer Luna looked to Kovu again and chuckled nervously. She'd never actually hunted a deer,nor had she taste the flesh of one. She honestly had no idea what she should be looking out for to hunt a deer. Um...are there any sort of tracks we should look for? she asked awkwardly.

[jwolf]

Kovu grinned at her nervousness.
Sniffing is usually the key. Kovu said, walking a few paces. He held his nose to the air and sniffed dor deer, catching a distant scent of it. He motioned to Luna to come with him.

[ienzodarkness]

Great she mumbled sarcastically under her breath. She padded after Kovu,trying to sniff out anything.

[jwolf]

Kovu paused when he caught the scent of a herd of deer not that far from where they were. But it seemed that they were travelling and were not going to stay in their territory for long.
Luna, can you smell them? We have to hurry, otherwise they will move off to another territory. Kovu told her as he picked up his pace and moved silently forward, his ears twitching.

[ienzodarkness]

I may she muttered more to herself than Kovu. She quickened her pace after the new wolf. Might as well ask him she thought. Where exactly are they? If they're near Mountain Valley,we may have a chance to chase them back down into our territory before they go into Lunari's She stayed at Kovu's side,narrowing her eyes in concentration. Stupid nose

[jwolf]

Kovu gave her a weird look.
Does she not know how to smell...? Kovu wondered.
They're not heading away from the territory just yet. They're still here but close to the borders between this pack and the other pack. The one you guys are in war with...
Anyway, we don't have to chase them. Sneaking up on them will be just fine.... Kovu said. He spotted the herd a few distance ahead of them and stopped abruptly, crouching down so that he would not be seen. He motioned to Luna to do the same.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna followed Kovu's suit,crouching low and watching the herd of deer. So that's deer...ok then,this should be simple She scanned the herd for a decently big one but one they would be able to catch. She licked her chops,gripping the dirt in her paws.

[jwolf]

Kovu's ear pricked when he spotted his chance. A half grown doe was wandering away from her mother and the herd, moving opposite to the direction they were headed in.
Kovu decided to show Luna how to smell properly. It would be a great asset if she could smell.
Luna, try to smell. You might be blocking the scents unknowingly. Just breathe, normally. Kovu whispered to her, softly nudging her towards the doe, indicating that she should sniff that doe.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna looked back at Kovu for a moment,narrowing her eyes in confusion. Fine,fine,whatever he says she thought with a silent huff. She looked back to a young doe and did as she was instructed,breathing in "normally". At first,she was unable to smell anything other than the normal things all wolves could smell easily. But soon enough,a strange scent made its way up her nose. She shook her head,and looked back at Kovu. Don't worry. I think I've got it now she murmured quietly,nodding as she spoke.

[jwolf]

Kovu smiled.
Okay, the trick is not to try too hard to smell something. It will come to you, automatically. Just breathe normally. Remember.
Now, let's get over to the doe. Kovu whispered, crouching and making his way quietly away from the bush they were hiding behind. He silently darted into the shadows the tree provided, keeping his senses open for any unsuspecting movement from the herd.

[ienzodarkness]

Luna nodded,following after Kovu carefully yet agile. Just breathe normally,don't try to smell them she repeated in her mind as she came beside Kovu. She basically morphed into the shadow of the tree,watching the doe hesitantly in case it noticed them.

[jwolf]

Kovu crept forward and quickly, yet silently, made his way around the doe. he watched the doe lift its head in confusion and then lean down to eat again.
Kovu did not hesitate. He crouched and then jumped high, landing powerfully on the doe's back.
Luna! Kovu snarled, around the bucking doe. From the distance, he heard the panicked sounds of the herd as they ran off.

[Admin]

The sound of the deers cries put its herd in a frenzy. Many stomping hooves itched to run but the buck had taken to that doe. It would be the mother of his fawns. He couldn't let it fall. With a mighty bellow he rallied his herd and began the stampede straight to the wolves.

(Can't let you guys have all the fun ^^ Good luck. hehe)
