Mercury

The hunter trotted in, on the lookout for some sheep or lambs for him and his adopted pups. The arctic wolf stopped and howled gently for Arrow and Spitfire to come. He watnted to teach them some basic hunting skills and to get them some food. His stomach growled at the thought of a meal. He looked back for his two sons before scanning the pens for any sheep. He would preferably see if there were any lambs as Arrow and Spitfire might be able to kill one between them, with his help of course. Also he wanted a sheep for himself, and as an experianced hunter, he knew they would learn to be excatly like him. Optics were everwatchful as Mercury slowly walked along before crouching in the grass, waiting for his pups to follow.

Arrow & Spitfire, *Sheep*

Luckily,a sheep had brought two lanbmmbs into he world 1 week ago.
They were an easy target. The lambs played and bleated, their mother watched. Unoticing the hunters.

Arrow & Spitfire looked at the creatures.
Spitfire eagerly wagged his tail.
Lets go! He whispered, trying his best but not perfectly imitating Mercury.

Arrow was low to hte ground, but he was not moving. He allowed them ahead of him and lookied at the Ranch. A long, long, long time ago it seemed. He remembered something.
His mother, licking him clean and talking to a frind.
A Black and white collie, he remembered.
But her mother was kind of blurred, as the collie was sharp.
His mother had mentioned a name, it was so hard to remember.
But she was a herding dog, and he remembered sitting outside one day, watching her chase sheep.
He smiled and sat on his haunches, remembering the sun beat down in the eild watcing the dog do her work.

Snappping to reality, he put on a straight face and prowled after his father and borther.

Question was; would that memory ever stop haunting him?

Mercury

Spying the two sheep he signalled to Arrow and Spitfire to keep low to the ground. He whispered to them.

,b> O.k. I will attack the mother first, i will jump over the fence and keep the mothers attention on me. Then i want you to crawl under the fence and wait until i tell you to attack. I want you to each attack a lamb. Don't worry if you don't bring it down first time. Just go for the neck or the muzzle. Watch out for the hooves though. Are we clear? if at any point you feel you can't do it just come out of the pen and wait for me here. O.k?

He nodded to the pups befor crawling along the ground, trying to keep out of sight. He looked back to see if they knew what they were doing.

Arrow, Spitfire, Prey

Arrow kept low to the ground, still listening but the memory of the picture only moments ago stabbing his mind.
Could he attack these sheep???

Spitfire nodded to his father. He awaited the move, keeping an eye on the bigger lamb.

The ewe watched her children romp and play carefully.

Mercury

The wolf crawled closer to the fence and then, without warning, sprang the attack. Knowing his pups were hiding and for the moment, safe, he lept over the fence growling at the ewe. Fangs bared and tail thrashing, he sprang into action. Propelling himself forward, the hunter dived for the ewes neck, jaw opened, revealing his crimson razors. He was aiming for a death hold. Claws were ready to grip on with, as the monster flew like a deadly dart through the air towards the sheep. He hoped the lambs would co-operate with their deaths and run towards the pups. He knew they were waiting, they had better be.

Trio

The ewe looked over towards the trespasser. She bleated angrily and triesd to gather her lambs, but the wolf was closing in. She ran for her life, bleating loudly.

Spitfire smiled and ppounced in, running after a lamb. The lamb lightly bleated and dashed off.

Arrow too followed his brother. He locked eyes with the lamb begfore runnning intoo his kill.

Mercury

Snarling the hunter propelled himself forward after his prey. Snappinng at the ewe he lauched himself towards her neck aiming for a death hold. he spied out of the corner of his eye his sons chasing the lambs.

Trio

The ewe bleated painfully, death hold locking. Crimson rippled into his open jaws.

Spitfire had now snapped onto the lamb's side in his attempt to copy Mercury. She was almost bleating, thrashing, and running.

Arrow was hanging onto the leg ot his lamb. He bucked and threw Arow off with a thud. But the Gash ld to a limping run, and Arrow was soon unto his feet and chasing the babe. Jumping, he kept his jaws opened, aiming for death Row.

Mercury

He snarled as he grabbed the ewe's neck. Finally, dinner was served. This would be easy now. He began to thrash his head from side to side hard. He stuck out his legs, leaving his claws to try and grip the earth so he could force the ewe down and put all his wieght and pressure on her. Spying his sons doing their work, he grinned in a devilish way. They were learning fast.

Trio

The lamb was caught in Spitfire's grab. He slammedinto the fence, throwing him off and running.

Spitfire growled and yelped, slammed off, but took a minute to get up. He was after the Lamb, slower with a limp like his sister. Down down down to the ground went the lamb as his jaws caught his back leg and flung him down.

Arrow chomped down, crushing the vital organ. The lamb bleated heartily, painfully. Arrow's eyes glazed over as he growled and dragged it down. He sniffed over the lamb and sat down, looking at Mercury. His work was done.
