Hunter and Prey (Originally Titled Forest)

The sun's golden rays illuminated the green forest, casting shadows on the grass forest floor. A dark looming shape hid among the shadows. Golden amber eyes blazed and locked onto a small figure bathing in the sunlight. Long black claws dug into the ground, tearing grass and dirt. The small figure rose its snow colored head; its beady black eyes widened.

The dark shape froze, tensing its muscles and straining its pointed ears toward the small rabbit. Thump. Thump. Thump. Long white hind legs thudded the ground as if to give a warning signal to other prey animals.

With a burst of pure power, the dark shape leaped out of the shadows. Its paws barely touched the ground as it gave chase to the rabbit. Driven by hunger, the dark animal rushed after the rabbit with a flash of dark grey. Terror overtook the smaller figure, freezing it in its tracks. Jaws met flesh. Dark red blood poured from the rabbit's wound. It grew limp in the dark grey hunter's blood-stained jaws and its eyes glossed over with death. The wolf had found its meal.
