Disclaimer: I own nothing and no one
I have been so bad lately. Do you realize I last published in February? Usually this would be the moment that I swear to do better, but my crew is leaving for Atoka, OK tomorrow to build a trail, so no computer access. I will be taking my notebook though. Hopefully I will manage to write something.

Hunter
If birds were capable of scowling the hawk would have done so. Just how could her fledgling be so impossibly dense? Had no one ever told him not to be so focused on your target that you miss everything else? Dedication was all well and good, but not when it caused you to miss important developments.
If the oddly colored human wasn't careful he was going to lose his prey to one of the other predators. The ones with the dark colored plumage who lurked in the shadows of the higher buildings where the loud one's hunting pack could not see them. She had tried to gain their attention by flying over the ambush sites but to no avail. She was only a hawk after all, what did she know about hunting?
Thoughtfully Watson shifted on her perch, reaching down to fluff the feathers between her talons with a deadly looking beak. Humans could be so blind sometimes. However, she supposed they couldn't help it, poor crippled things that they were. Only the moonlit form her human chased after seemed to understand the way people were truly meant to move.
Sharp golden eyes caught the flash of a rifle scope, the raptor letting out a displeased chirp. Not again. Powerful wings spread, the bird of prey launching her body into the air and taking up a circling pattern above the human crow. As per usual, no one seemed to notice, well none of the hunters in any case. Their prey was a different matter.
Very well then, Watson decided. If they were going to act like barely fledged chicks she would treat them like it. Only this once though, after tonight they would have to flush their own prey out. Letting loose a ringing cry, the hawk dove, razor sharp claws outstretched.
No way was that damn poacher getting away this time.
