Juniper saw which one her eyes were on and he quickly took the other side, hiding in a thick mass of trees. This was the one time he liked trees, when they could conceal him in a good way. Licking his lips, he looked to Larka and silently told her to start moving slowly. He took the long way around, silently, not focusing on the female anymore, but on that buck he was going to be eating soon enough.
Glancing to the female, he motioned her to go closer to the buck. He crouched in the grass and gave a little growl to startle the deer. It was intentional, honestly. The does squirmed away, while the bucks moved in front of them, intent on protecting their females. He snorted at the notion and rolled his eyes.
He took off, almost flying towards the largest buck. That was Larka's cue to start the chase as well.

The female, hunkered low to the ground in the grass, she could just see Juniper through the tall grasses, she looked back to the bucks in the group, he was quite large, and so much more up this close. Nerves shuddered in her, making her nervous, but she had to prove she was capable, for some reason she needed to prove herself to Juniper!
When the male let out starting growl and the bucks moved forward she took off after his signal. Taking on the large buck from the opposite side, snapping at his heels. Adrenaline coursed through her system sending unknown energy through her, pushing her forward, her mind set on catching the buck now, almost desperate to catch him. She caught Juniper through the corner of her eye, she was keeping up, thank goodness.

Juniper snorted again as she bit at the buck's heels and rolled his eyes. She was going to get herself hurt from a kick sooner or later. Instead of going low, Juniper sprang up, jaws clamping around the buck's throat and sank in with a had growl on his part.
Of course, the deer was busy trying to kick at Larka, to shake her off, he wasn't paying attention to Juniper. That meant that he actually got a good hold on the throat and he growled a command to Larka to jump back and tackle the buck, to get him down. That way, the female could clamp down on the buck's throat as well, so the kill would be swifter. Hopefully, she understood him with his mouth full.

Larka barely heard Juniper's growl, but she backed off and took again and urged forward putting her weight into knocking the buck off of his feet. It worked, the buck lost its footing and stumbled enough for Larka to grab him behind the neck, biting down as hard as she could.
Feeling the hot blood force through and soak her mouth, that delicous coppery taste filled her mouth, blinding her with the blood lust for a moment as she shook her head as hard as she could to snap the buck's neck.
He would still fight for a few moments after the spinal cord was severed, still breathing, eyes pleading, before his movements would finally halt completely and forever. The combined efforts made it a glorious kill, one neither could have done on their own. But the females jaws still held tight long after the buck stilled, instinct not letting her jaw unlock just yet.
Finally she relaxed and slowing opened her moth to let the buck head drop, his great antler still propping him up a little. It was almost a sad sight, but it brought joy to Larka knowing she had been in her first true hunt to find it a success.

Juniper didn't find it a sad sight, not at all. He found it a delicious sight indeed. His stomach growled as he looked upon their kill and then looked to Larka. He was lucky he didn't get caught under the damn thing when she tackled him. But, despite his size, Juniper was quite agile.
He'd let go long before she had. He didn't like the shivering the body did once it realized it was dead. It made him queasy. So, once it laid still, Juniper moved to one side of the deer's stomach, giving Larka the other part and ripped into it, blood spraying as he did. He ate the fur and all in that bite, chewing a lot to make sure the fur wouldn't hurt him later. He watched the female, wondering how she ate, if it was a delicate process.
Larka seemed like a delicate female in a way, but she was a great huntress, she proved. Whatever. He took another hunk out of the deer, loving the freshness of the meat, the warmth, the blood. His growling stomach was slowly stopping the more he ate. Ah, life could be good if he had someone to hunt with. Maybe he could keep her around. Or follow her. Following could be fun. The stalk, the hunt.... Aaah. It made him chuckle low. He wouldn't answer if she asked about what as so funny, either.

The slight female licked at the blood already present on her maw, dripping into her beige coat. She watched Juniper tear into the flesh without a second thought. It was a strange sight, but it was the sight of a wolf with the blood lust upon them, gorging on a well deserved meal.
She joined close to Juniper's side and tore into the ribcage, the meat was gamy, but it was delicious, red and rare, filled with the fat of the deer. Larka had never tasted anything so good, she worried she would never have a taste for smaller game any longer. The meat tasted sweet with the grasses and foliage the deer had grazed upon.
Gnawing in a rib she stripped away the meat, moving towards the leg, filling her hungry belly. It wasn't long before she could eat no more, the deer laying spread eagled, wide open to the sky, and still there was more meat that could have lasted for a good few more meals. She still continued to gnaw at the leg licking out the sweet marrow from inside the thick bone.
"That was the most amazing meal I have ever eated." she sighed happily, ready to sleep for a week if only she could. Her silver eyes looked over to Juniper with a smile, she thought she had well proved herself a decent hunter.

Juniper had more of an apatite than she did. He hadn't eaten for a while, so he was going to gorge himself until he burst. He'd stripped the ribs, moved to the thigh of the deer's back leg and tore into it, not caring about anything at the moment.
His ear flicked at her voice and he turned to her, snorting. "It's not the best I've had. Try stealing humans' fired meat. They put it on sticks over a fire..... and put things on it. Makes it taste really good. This is second best." With that, he set back to work, working down the leg until he was finally full, chewing on the hooves to sharpen his teeth. He didn't care about the dirt stuck there or anything like that. He just knew that it was good, he was full, and now sleep was slowly setting in.
He couldn't make it back to his den. And he would want to finish off the deer when he woke up. ".....I'm sleeping here. Do whatever," he said, curling up right there at the foot of the deer. That way, he could attack anything that even came near his prey.

She pondered on the idea of the flame consumed meat, was it really that good? She'd probably never know, but it intrigued her thoughts for a short while as the male continued to gorge himself of the buck.
Larka looked over as Juniper stated that he was going to sleep there and not leave. She hadn't like the way he told her to do whatever, but she didn't feel right to just leave him out in the open like this alone. No, she'd do the right thing and stay with him, partially wondering if he would even care when he awoke.
She settled herself down with the leg bone she intent of keeping as long as she could. She waked the sleeping male and his swollen belly full of food, her own must look nearly that big, she was a good bit smaller than him in stature as it was. Sleep drifted over her almost instantly as she put her head down, the veil of dreams over taking her once again, to a world where anything and everything was possible.
