your heart, it's like a drum
the chase has just begun
As the girl moves, censure a halo surrounding her reprimand of the other woman’s supposed rudeness, Waverly sways. A sign of weakness, she had learned. One that inspired kindness and aid. Were she a less feral creature, she might have felt guilt at such deception. But when one’s belly rumbles with hunger, guilt becomes a surprisingly absent emotion.
“Yes,” she agrees when the girl asks her question. It was an easy answer, one that so neatly solves all the dilemmas the other woman’s arrival had brought. Were she less intent on her hunt, she may have found the other woman fascinating. A beast of the land, just as she is of the water. Two opposing counterparts with so many similarities.
But as the youth eliminates the distance between them, Waverly’s attention is focused on her. Still, she cannot help the sidelong glances she gives the red woman. The suspicion that rises within her. Waverly had never before shared a hunt, but she is forced to wonder if that is what had brought the stranger here.
“I did swim.” Her voice is barely more than a whisper now as she closes the distance that remains between her and the girl. “But it wasn’t terrifying.”
Between one blink of an eye and the next, Waverly has struck, teeth erupting as her mouth elongates around the neck of the golden filly. Her scales do not bother her. No matter what protection they might provide, they would not prevent the water from filling her lungs as Waverly drags her backwards into the sea.
Her gaze is now fixed on the other predator, a golden glare over the prey locked in her jaws even as a low, feral growl rumbles from her throat. A warning. A declaration that she would not cede her hunt so easily.
Waverly
