Karai

Newly come to her new home, and completely submitted to her new alphas, the starving young wolf sets off on a game trail, hoping to find food. She takes a whiff of air, catches a scent, and heads off to find food.

*Deer*

Three mule deer were lying in their beds, scraped out in the snow. They were all does. Since this area hadn't been hunted recently, they felt pretty secure and weren't paying the best of attention...

Karai

Karai circled downwind of the deer, attempting to sneak behind them for an attack.

*Deer*

One of the does hears something and draws her large ears up and looks around anxiously. The others become wary, but none make any move to leave. They are cautious now, but none have scented Karai or know she is near.

Karai

Karai stops, waiting for the anxious deer to settle down, cursing herself.

*Deer*

They remain anxious for a while longer, but after not hearing or scenting anything dangerous, they go to chewing their cud again. Completely unaware of Karai still.

Karai

Seeing that the deer have settled once more, Karai crouches in the snow, being more careful not to make noise this time. Her silver coat ALMOST blends in, so she could be percieved as a mere shadow in the snow. Waiting until she is certain that they are completely settled, and when she believes they may have put their small scare out of their mind, Karai propels herself forward toward the group of deer, aiming for legs in hopes of bringing one down.

*Deer*

The deer seemed to explode from the ground in a frenzy, spotting the blur of motion hurtling their way. A blur of tan limbs and flashing white tails made up the scene as the does bolted for their lives, crashing through the frozen brush and drifts of snow.

Karai managed to his one doe before she could spring away, leaving a hefty wound in her hind leg from the fangs. But the deer kicked back, hitting the wolf in the side hard enough to fracture a rib. It was a very painful wound, but nothing serious for a wolf that lives in a loyal pack. The doe herself was in a more dire situation.

Karai's bite damaged several muscles, leaving a notable limp in the deer as she ran and a trail of blood. It would take quite a run to catch her, but she can't run very fast or far now...

Karai

Favoring her tender ribs, Karai grimaces a little in pain. Though she hates to leave a perfectly good meal, another female's kind offer of the leavings of the kill is enough to satisfy her. Limping a little, the young female lopes back to her fellows.
