Stay Together:
That was one of the rules. Unless they agreed otherwise, it was safer to stay together. There was safety in numbers, and they worked well together. Whether they were avoiding the predators or the other prey, they were safer together. But if you were caught in a predators trap, or if you strayed off, you were on your own. As Royce said, "If you fall behind, you're left behind."
Royce always took lead. Ever since they'd arrived on the preserve, Royce led the way. He was a natural at it. He led; Isabelle took guard and followed behind him. Neither of them seemed to want a change in the role, it saved their asses plenty of times. Royce knew the ways predators tracked them, the rules of hunting, and the rules of survival.
It kept them safe, kept them alive. At the moment, that was all they cared about.
Yeah I know, it's short. But the other chapters will be longer, promise. First predators fanfic. Let me know.
