The Hunt is On ~ Bear Rage

Description

The air was soft yet sweet to taste. The sky was painted a striking color of rouge and powdered orange that clashed with the verdant bedding that lie below. The atmosphere was heavy, heavy with the ever growing heat of summer. The earth remained cracked since the melting of the dense snow, causing paws tipped with sharply edged claws to chip away at much of the dirty shelf. Thankfully the shelter in which Marilyn had surrounded herself within, provided enough shade to cool her off for the time being until she decided to venture out of the dome. Though, other, more important things happened to be on her mind at this time. Yes, the heat would prove to be quite bothersome, but something else piqued her interests and its presence happened to linger both within the air and within the forest. A few short breaths would escape the mouth of the beast who resided in its rather good hiding place. Since Spring when it had awoken from its deep slumber, it had been feeding uncontrollably on the berry bushes that resided in the nearby area. It was certainly a plump one and given by its size, it was fully grown and able to take on anything that dared cross its path. Beside a large log it took cover, using the back of the tree as a cover to shield its vulnerable hide. Marilyn's nose began to twitch uncontrollably, eyes quickly darting back and forth in an attempt to quickly locate her target. The long, lengthy strands of her tail and mane would suddenly swish to the right in a 'snap,' a low growl escaping her as she locked onto a black colored coat.

The fur of the bear would begin to bristle as a few grunts escaped its for now closed jaws. It was a sure sign of surprise as the Tokota managed to launch herself forward, teeth bared and paws thundering against the roof of its shelter. Quickly, the bear would make use of its well thought out escape route and head towards the back of the tree, using it as a shield to protect its vulnerable hide as it escaped towards the inner brush. From there, the creature would rear up on its hind legs, powerful claws bared and ready for use. Beady eyes like firey embers would lock onto the Tokota, yet she displayed not an ounce of fear due to her headstrong nature. The log would briefly barricade the Tokota, but such a miniscule object could not keep her from the main prize. Because the bear had shown aggression, it had sparked an odd, predatory hunger, an instinct that would only urge her to continue her pursuit of the fleeing creature. Sure enough, dirt would fly in all directions, grass swaying as if a tornado had flown through the area in a matter of seconds. Multi-colored bark would chip off the trunk of the tree as Marilyn managed to bump her shoulder against its side. Like a ghostly image moving at a high rate of speed, she zips around towards the opposing side of the tree, branches clobbering against the ground like hoof beats. She could hear hear her handler nearby, rushing to the scene. However, her handler was not yet visible. She would have to hold her ground for now until help arrived.

Finally, she could detect the faint scent of her handler rushing through the thicket. Now all there was left to do was to tango with this little devil and hopefully defeat the mighty giant at its own game of prey vs predator. Who was the prey? Only time would tell now, for the hunt was finally on...
