Thrilled was the word of the day as I follow along behind the male, letting his nose lead the way as we flash through the woods. I found that I was uncaring if my sister was along for the ride or not though I did miss her. We come to an open plain, and I feel an ache grip my chest, Asteraia was home, no matter where my mother was. But, I could not go there as long as Tobias and that black female ruled the lands. They would know me and I would be killed on sight simply because they would most likely be mistrusting. Really I was only speculating, but I digress. We move easily through the brush, and I am astounded by his ability to find female meat.

I smile at him as he speaks, anticipation building while I scheme her demise right there on the spot. "She is rather pretty, and I get to plan?" Tactics are easy, and I turn my red painted lips to him, white daggers flashing as he says he will let me plan the attack. "Okay...Bite me. Draw blood, but don't make it so bad I can't heal from it. Bite me all over so it looks like I got attacked. Then go wash off in that stream over there, I will keep an eye on her until you get back." My tail waves, though I keep it low so the female will not come to inspect us too soon. She was across the large meadow after all, and I could keep an easy eye on her.

I wait for the pain to come, taking lessons from my spars with Gehenna to keep silent and to move with the attack rather than against it. He will like my plan or make amendments to it, either way, I am hungry.
