Suddenly the girl realizes that they had been laying there all morning. She feels her hunger growing and sighs, knowing she'd have to leave his arms to hunt.
"I must hunt, I've not eaten in over a day. I'll be quick I promise," she says sadly, gently standing up.
It caused her physical pain to have to be away from David, but she had to eat to survive. She bends down and kisses him on the lips, unable to say even a temporary goodbye out loud.
Scarlet looks into his perfect eyes, her own loving and honest. Then, she transforms into her wolf form. With a long look at him over her shoulder, she runs into the forest to hunt.
'The sooner I eat, the sooner I can return to David,' she thinks to herself, quietly stalking through the trees.
The she wolf catches the mouth watering scent of an adult doe. By the scent, she was healthy and would be fast. This didn't matter to Scarlet, she knew nothing could outrun her or overpower her.
The strong she wolf stalks soundlessly as she follows the trail of scent. Soon, the doe is visible ahead of her, the doe grazes in a small grassy meadow.
Scarlet creeps closer,making sure she is downwind of her prey. When she's within pouncing distance of the doe, Scarlet tenses her powerful back legs as she prepares to pounce.
With one strong jump she lands on her prey, biting the doe's exposed throat. The doe struggles, but can't escape her powerful jaws. As the doe falls still, she releases her, laying the doe on the grass.
Scarlet lays respectfully at the doe's head,looking into the doe's dying eyes.
"I thank you for giving me your life, that your meat may sustain me. I thank you once more, and pray your spirit finds its way safety to your skies. May your journey be swift, my sister of the forest, " Scarlet howls the prayer of thanks to the doe,and as the creature dies it blinks to tell me it understands and forgives me.
I wait until the doe is completely dead, before I eat the dead creature. I eat half of the kill but leave the rest for David in case he is hungry.
I grab the carcass in my jaws and begin dragging it back to David.
