Bacon, Anyone?

Bellatrix grinned, tail wagging ever so slightly as she crept up on her prey. She wasn't used to the prey here, but it was well worth the struggles of coming up with new techniques. Her mind was full of instincts at catching rabbits, deer, even squirrels and mice! But the animal before her, the fat pig like animal that she had heard referred to as a boar? It smelled sweet to her senses and was more than enough to satiate her softly growling stomach. Alright piggy, let's see which one of us comes out on top?

Bounding forward, the female was surprised at the pig's pace, but kept running. The thing was plump, and had a nasty pair of tusks in the front, but it was nothing that the femme couldn't handle. But it made an easy kill to the throad impossible. Nipping at the animal's hide, she figured she'd have to do this the hard way, run it out of energy, nip until it's in too much pain to move and then move in for the kill. Gruesome, yes, but a classic tactic that failed less than anything else that the timber wolf could think of.

Jayden smelt pig. He loved pig. It was one of the most exciting things to hunt down and one of the best tasting meals he ever had. It was a challenge however, but Jayden loved challenges. He leapt off of the tree which he had used for his daily nap and onto the floor. He landed just like any other cat would, on all fours and perfectly without flaw. He stretched out his front legs and extended them as far as they could possible reach. His claws retracted and his toes separated while his claws reached out to take a breath of air. He leaned his head backwards and his ears rested against his head as his jaws separated themselves from each other releasing his rough cat tongue. His whiskers twitched as he took an elongated yawn and then stretched out his back legs while beginning to walk forward.
He heard something in the distance, coming from the direction of where the boar's scent was roaming. He lifted his head into the air and let his ears follow the sounds while his nose followed the scent of the prey. The prey he was sniffing out was in the process of being hunted. The hunter was obviously having fun with it or having some trouble since he didn't smell very much blood illuminating from the boar just yet.
Jayden began to make his way towards the action he knew he couldn't miss out on. He bounded through the bushes, over logs, and around pits of swampy water to make his way closer to the scene. Once he knew he was close he leapt into a tree to observe his surroundings completely. It was a wolf, nipping at the boar, working her way to take it down slowly. Yet her techniques were one that he admired, he had never seen such an interesting way to do it. He was used to either tripping the animal and then latching onto it's jugular to suffocate it to death or simply grabbing hold of the back with his claws and holding onto it with his unbreakable jaw lock. He didn't quite understand until he noticed the wolf's paws. Her nails were large and dull. They didn't retract at all, how on earth could she catch a thing like this? It must take her forever!
He cocked his head as his tail swayed and he turned around to continue to watch the wolf chase the boar down. It seemed that her technique would help if she had some help from others. Boar were tough animals and nipping at the thing would take quite some time to kill it. He didn't want to surprise the wolf or make her prey run faster, so he tried his best to simply observe while his instincts wanted to bolt and kill the thing. He was doing his best to control himself while studying the wolf's efforts of bringing the wild pig down.

Bella took another nip at the animal, and in return the boar kicked it's hind legs as hard as it could. Thankfully, this was expected, deer being rather good at that manuever; but with those sharp little hooves so close to her face, Bellatrix knew that the kick would hurt! Then the animal swerved to the side, and she followed, making a sharp turn toward the pig. She bit harder this time, blood now more visible on the animals hide. But soon after the turn, Bella realized that she wasn't alone in this area, another animal had seen her hunting, and seemed to be watching rather intently. the femme didn't catch more than sharp eyes and a long tail before she had to focus back in on the pig she was hoping to be her dinner.

With her breaths turning to pants and the adrenaline powering her beating heart, Bellatrix took a good chunk of the animal's tail. The boar squealed, bounding forward; but Bella wasn't going to let the animal get away that easily. No matter how... distracting the noise it made was. The wolf chuckled, realizing that she had never heard an animal squeal that way. Paws picked up their speed as Bella bit the animal's leathery hide once more, and with another kick aimed at her face, Bellatrix knew that this wasn't going to happen easily in the least. Time for a new tactic? The female leapt, with a roaring bark and her jaws aimed at the boar's neck, she pushed the animal over, shoving it to the ground and ripping a chunk into it's neck. The skin was just as leathery, and the shocked animal fought for it's life, squealing bloody murder all the while. Bellatrix bit into the tender flesh that she had torn into once before, digging her way into the animal's neck.

Then she remembered.

Those tusks of his rammed into her front paws, and the pig squealed, getting up and running a bee line into another direction. Bellatrix huffed, how she could use a pack to hunt with. Frowning, she winced as she stepped on her paw to chase after the animal. No matter where it went, she could track it. It lived alone, and it smelled of --rather sweet, stomach churning-- blood. Glancing at the animal that was watching her, she twisted an ear back, tilting her head a bit and panted out her words. "You! Uhm, you do like boar, right?" You wouldn't be watching if you didn't... "Help me catch this one and I'll gladly share the meal!" It wasn't rare for a couple of wolves that didn't know each other to tag team a specific prey. Although this animal wasn't wolf, he definitely looked smart enough and strong enough to help her catch this leathery beast.

Jayden watched as the pig squealed for help, he was just hoping that the pig's herd wasn't near by. A group of boar was never a pretty sight for the predator. As long as Jayden was in the tree he knew he was safe from anything trying to bulldoze him over. He watched intently as the wolf knocked the boar over tearing at it's neck, he almost wanted to turn his head well-knowing what would happen if she didn't hold his head down. She then went for the same spot she was shredding at before, not a bad idea, very painful, but so painful that the boar might just... yep.

The wolf's paws were now crushed by the large bulking tusks on the boar's face. Jayden winced in pain for the wolf who was doing her best at the moment trying to take the boar down on her own. He didn't see her ever catching this thing, and it was becoming painful to watch. He felt sorry for the poor thing, if only she had retractable claws he thought to himself. Then the wolfess tripped over herself and Jayden didn't know if her hunt was going to continue as the boar scurried away. He looked over to her with raised eyebrows in concern and his mouth gaping open waiting to see her next move, but he wasn't expecting her next move to include him at all. She turned to him and asked him if he liked boar, why of course he liked boar! What a silly question he thought as a smile drew across his face. He knew what she was going to say way before she even opened her mouth.

He was now being allowed to join in her hunt, joy overflowed Jayden as he leapt from the tree and darted towards the boar. His muscles moving quickly and his tail swifting side to side to help him keep balance as he curved around trees here and there. He looked behind him with a huge grin to see if the wolf was catching up to him. He then turned his focus back on the strong scent of boar's blood and his pupils narrowed as he leapt over a log and the boar was in sight. His tongue escaped as he began to pant and his claws peeked lightly out from his toes. His ears laid flat against his head like daggers as the boar turned back to look at him. The boar squealed at the sight well-knowing that he was soon to take his last breath.

Jayden galloped excitedly and once a few feet away from the now panicking boar, he pounced and his claws gripped hold of the boar's back. The boar let out a loud death scream while trying to buck him off. What seemed like forever to Jayden really was only about 3 seconds. He grabbed the back of the boar's neck and twisted it to his left, causing the boar to fall onto the ground. His claws didn't loosen their grip until the boar stopped struggling to break free of Jayden's unbreakable jaw grip. His fangs sunk into the boar's neck and one of them inside of the large wound the wolf has created earlier. The boar let out it's last squeal and Jayden crunched down on it's neck. You could hear the snapping of bones as the blood seaped out onto the floor.

Jayden loosened his grip and let go of the boar to pant a bit and gain his breath after all of the excitement. He was about to do his routine of taking his kill up the tree, when suddenly he remembered who's kill this actually was. He looked back and then darted up a nearby tree to await the wolf who had allowed him to kill her boar for her.

Bellatrix's smile lit up like a 100WATT bulb, grinning madly, she wagged her tail in good spirits. And what was there to be upset about? Even though she was injured it looked like she would still be able to eat. And she'd get to see this strange, yet lovely creature hunt. He looked a bit like a bob cat, except much more elegant, broader shoulders, brigher eyes, longer tail and those spots! "Thanks for this!" She yelled, chasing after the big cat that launched right into the chase. He was fast! Sleeker than any dog that she knew. That was all it took for Bella to appreciate the strange feline order, forcing her paws forward and working not to stumble a bit from the pain in her feet. I think the pig might have fractured something. Ah well, lesson learned. Next time she wanted boar? Target a smaller, hopefully smaller tusked one.

When she caught up with the cat and the boar, Bellatrix found there wasn't much left for her to do. The cat looked so much larger chasing the big pig, and took the animal down with ease. The female's eyes widened, the animal down and out for the count in a matter of minutes. Wooow... She thought, struggling to keep herself from gaping completely. Never before had she seen a hunt that was quite the struggle for her go so smoothly. Some huntress I am! She chided herself, although it was more in surprise at the leopards power than in lack of her own. "That was amazing! I've never seen jaws or claws like the ones you have." She said, complementing the cat, looking up at him from the ground. It seemed that felines shared a liking for heights... if she remembered correctly, they ate up in trees sometimes as well! "Do you want the back or the front?" She smiled, trying to be polite. If he wanted to eat up there, she wouldn't pass up first dibs! But he did catch the troublesome pig after all. He deserved a choice in the matter of what part he ate.

Besides, Bella thought after her stomach gave another grumble. She wasn't feeling very picky at the moment anyways.

[Xinn]

As soon as the wolf caught up Jayden's grin grew wide. He smiled down at the friendly wolf as she complimented him so eagerly. He felt proud of his abilities as the canine not only recognized them but acknowledged them so kindly. He hadn't had such a friendly meeting with a canine before. His tail batted from side to side as the wolf asked him which he preferred of the meal. He looked to her as his head rested on his paws and he began to finish off his panting. "Help yourself! I merely took the last shot, it was your kill after all." Jayden couldn't not smile, he seemed so happy for some reason he couldn't quite understand.

Jayden then leaped to the ground elegantly first with his two front paws and his back paws followed soon after. His tail was last to touch the ground as it was the source of his perfect landings and balance. He didn't go too close to the kill, letting the wolf know that she was to eat first. This was a sign of respect to the wolf and he knew that his actions of letting her eat first let her know clearly that he not only respected her, but was somewhat trustworthy. His overall appearance and stance throughout the time of them being together were all at ease which would make the situation comfortable for the both of them. Neither of them had acted aggressive at any point so far and so maybe that was why Jayden couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. He didn't know why, but was trying to find a reason why he felt so happy around this canine.....

Bella nodded, deciding to start from the animal's rear. It was the closest to her, and the femme wasn't kidding when she said she wasn't picky! Besides, to a hungry wolf, the entire pig smelled absolutely delicious to her. She tried to be somewhat dainty -as in polite-- about the way that she ate, but it was still a rather horrible sight to see. --if you were human of course-- predator to predator? She wasn't doing such a bad job. She was absolutely elated to have a meal with another character. And even though said character was feline, she couldn't have cared less. No canine from her past would have stepped up and caught that boar for her. Not her mother nor her father or her no good brother; nor the senseless pack that decided to follow his lead. But this cat, without a word, rushed in, saved her meal and gave her first dibs on the pig! Bellatrix licked her muzzle and smiled, enjoying herself for the first time in this strange new place.

"You know what? You're not bad." She smiled, wagging her tail at the now grounded big cat. Her maw was tinted pink from the meal she was just about finished with. The femme then took a few more gulps, feeling satisfied and wanting to leave just as much boar for the cat as she had. Although she'd be lying if she said she wasn't full; he looked like he ate more --although more fickly-- than she did. "I'm Bellatrix, and I'm not from around here." She introduced herself and stepped around the boar so that the cat was closer to it, but they were still around the same distance apart as before. "Who are you?" She asked, feeling rather light spirited after a good --although painful-- hunt and a lovely meal.

JAYDEN'S TURN;;
Strike up the band. Whoah, the conductor is beckoning.
Come congregation, let's sing it like you mean it

Jayden watched as the wolf ate her meal. She seemed so hungry, he was hoping that his appearance wasn't causing her to feel uncomfortable and make her eat less than she wanted to or needed to. He watched her but only glancing here and there trying to not make her feel threatened by his presence. He wasn't used to being so near a canine while it ate so he didn't know how he was supposed to react. While she chomped down on the meal, he looked at her paws that the boar had smashed earlier. He was staring at them trying to see
if her paws were disfigured in any way.
The wolf turned to him saying that he wasn't that bad. He looked into her eyes and smiled looking down to his paws embarrassingly. His paws twisted into the dirt awkwardly and was about to speak up when the wolf spoke first. She politely introduced herself as she moved away from the half-eaten boar. He moved closer to the carcass and licked some of the dripping blood from the flesh the wolf had torn. He then realized that in his mind he kept calling the wolf "the wolf" when she had just given him her name. Bellatrix. Now that she had given him a name it was an entirely new episode unraveling before their eyes. He looked up to her while licking his bloody chops clean as she asked who he was. Great, now it was his turn to make the first impression. He couldn't help but smile as the words began to slip out.."I'm Jayden. Just a wanderer, but I made my way around fine on my own." His teeth dug into the boar's flesh as his eyes looked up to the wolf who's name he now knew as Bellatrix.

No, don't you get it, don't you get it? Now don't you move...
