Devoured

"For the first time since the hunt began I see her. She isn't prey, or something to be conquered. She's the headstrong girl who has questioned me at every turn since being taken. She's beautiful, bruised, and defeated. No more tears stream down her cheeks, I know that there aren't any left. She's still beneath me and for the first time since first laying eyes on her I feel a pang of sympathy. Clarity is settling in.
What have I done.
She doesn't move, the only sign of life is the steady rise and fall of her chest, even her hands lay limp beside her. I knew if I sunk my teeth into her neck in that state I would've killed her, but now as I look at the battered woman on the forest ground there is only one solution."
