Prey or Predator [Open]

Alexandra

Alex was perched in a tree, her bow in hand with an arrow strung and ready to fly. She had been waiting for the better part of the morning for a decent quarry, but none had come along. At least, not until that deer. But of course, someone else had killed it before she could. Alex lowered her bow, relaxing the tension in the string slowly as she sat back against the trunk of the tree to wait for the hunter to move on. She didn't necessarily want to be seen, and now that there had been a deer killed, there wouldn't be any game within a quarter mile radius. It was the prey instinct- if something was killed there, don't go there. It really was logical.

Alex rolled her eyes as the guy stood, apparently debating something silently. She wanted him to leave, so that she could get away without being seen, though she almost just didn't care. Hunger could do that to a person. She'd had to stay in the district boundaries for the last couple days, and everyone knew that the hunting was terrible there, so what little game she managed to find, was given to the Capital- nothing for her. As she watched the guy, she held the branch she was crouched on with one hand, while holding her bow in the other. She watched silently, waiting for her chance to slip away and find another location.

Alex watched as he picked up the deer, apparently(and thankfully) having decided to take it away. At least, that was what she thought. She groaned silently to herself as he set it down at the base of the tree she was in. He then walked away until he was out of sight, though he obviously wouldn't go far and just leave a perfectly good deer sitting there. Still, Alex needed to go find some game, and there definitely wasn't going to be any around here.

Not wanting to be seen, she crept quietly in the tree, moving carefully toward the opposite side of the tree, her foot slipping and she fell out of the tree. Alex squeaked, then hit the ground with a thud, knocking the wind out of her. She took a gasping breath, then groaned, pushing herself to her feet, "Ouuuuccch." She rubbed her head, then bent to grab her bow that she had dropped, going to walk away from the deer and away from the direction the guy had gone.
