With a small hare in her mouth Usiku made her way over to the shade of a tree. Well it wasn't quite the meal she was hoping for but it would do. Laying down she began to tear into the hare. Now that she on her own again Usiku could no longer take down the large prey that she and Subu used to tackle together. That made her sigh, which in turn made her growl. She wasn't supposed to be missing him, or the pups for that matter. Pulling another chuck of meat off the hares carcass only caused her to think of Subu one more. He used to bring her a hare each morning, or at least try to.
Swallowing down that mouthful she found herself no longer hungry. These annoying thoughts of what she had left behind seemed to haunt her at every turn and it pissed her off. Lifting herself to her paws she left what remained of the hare under the tree. Licking the blood from her lips she padded off once more, to escape her guilt, her thoughts and perhaps even her anger.
