The night was young, he loved the night and its quiet, trees were still and creatures lay asleep in their dens and thickets. Places where he couldn't reach, even with his talons. Long ears twitched atop his narrow head as a thick tail thumped the ground gently behind him. Padding at his feet a fawn colored goat, who's own eyes stared at the shadows with fear. Each breath coming with an audible grunt and shudder, still weeping wounds showed dark against its side. The muscular creature stopped for a moment as a long black serpent like tongue slipped from its muzzle to lap at the air. There were many things to 'taste' tonight and there was going to be a lot more. Glowing red eyes glanced to the shuddering and quivering goat before moving on.
"Thiz night iz going to be a fun one. I can feelz it in my bonez, Znack." The mutant spoke to the goat in a deep husky voice, one that could send shudders down most anyone's back. "But maybe, you zhould find better plaze to be then here. Thingz might get out of claw."
With the obvious dismissal the goat gave a bleat before vanishing into the undergrowth. It wanted as far away from the mutant it knew as master as possible. With the goat on its way to better feeding ground, the mutant took another look to the trees. Its own stomach growling, it had been that way for the past few hours of the hunt. With little food this late, he hated to think of taking the goat, perhaps the small creature would show its worth once more before dawn broke.
