Thanks to my reviewers and sorry it took so long to update. Please give me any ideas you have for this story, I have no idea where I'm going.
Maddi woke up on the couch and wondered for a moment how she ended up there before remembering the previous day. Watching movies with his daughter seemed out of character for the legendary Sabretooth, but who knew what he was like at home? She smiled, thinking about the day. She stretched and popped the kinks out of her back. What to do today? Her stomach growled. Defiantly breakfast. She thought with a grin.
Dressing in tight jeans to minimize rustling, a white wife-beater, and a dark, long sleeve t-shirt. Foregoing shoes, she strode out the backdoor into the forest surrounding the house. She took a moment to enjoy the wind in her hair and the feel of dirt between her toes. She extended her senses to take in the sounds and smells of the forest. There! Her attention riveted on the smell of something thick, musty, and coppery and the sound of a slow, squishy, rhythmic thump, thump, thump. She felt her eyes turn black. At that point she let the animal take over and sprinted on all fours toward the source of that delicious wet sound. When she was within a mile of the animal, she slowed, no reason to scare it off too early. A chase through the dim forest and across the damp earth sounded appealing, but she doubted she could outrun a full grown elk buck.
She stalked silently through the underbrush, close to the earth. She shifted her weight on her hands, then wiggled her hips like a cat. The she pounced, hooking her claws into the buck's thick skin. She clawed her way up the twisting and bucking animal to his throat. As she was about to bite through his windpipe, he twisted sharply and through her off. She thought for sure he would get away, when a giant shadow leapt from the side and tackled the huge animal. She smelled the blood pour out of the elk and heard the wet thumping sound stop. The thing that took her prey walked to her and stood over her until she looked up. She couldn't read his face, so she looked to the forest floor again and sighed. Then stood, but didn't look at him. She walked to the buck that was lying on the blood soaked ground.
She unsheathed her claws and made to skin the animal when Creed grabbed her wrist to stop her. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Um, skinning it?"
"Not with your claws."
"I don't exactly have a knife on me."
"Why not?"
"Because I have claws that are sharper than a knife and..." She hesitated, "I was going to eat it now," She said the last part quietly like she was embarrassed.
"So, why did you change your mind?"
"Cause I lost it and you snapped me out of my animal side," she growled loudly at him.
He chuckled, "What I kill, I kill for my pride, which is you, cub," He was hungry and ripped into the elk's tender belly. She watched for a minute before letting her animal take over and enthusiastically tore into the buck's shoulder. He last thought was: yummy.
