The sounds of dogs and prey lured the creature further and further towards the treeline. The cries of the dying rabbits cause the creature to pause for only a moment before it picked up its pace. Something was hurt, dying off in the grass.
The cried fell silent and the creature slowed its pace as she neared the treeline, its steel gray eyes scanning the area quickly for any kind of movement. There was a rustling of grass and the creature froze, all its senses locked on the location the sound came from. It wasn't sure what was lurking in the dark of the grass but an ingrained sense of survival told the creation to take its time and to tread with caution. It was only when it go close enough to peer through the blades of tall grass did it catch the shape of the dog in the dark. The creature crouched down and paused just outside the grass, peering into it before it reached out with a lightening fast grip and grabbed a hold of the dog. The sudden movement frightened the animal and when it grabbed a hold of its scruff, it turned its head and grabbed a hold of the creature's arm.
A piercing scream of shock and rage left the creature as it reached out to snatch the dog with its other hand, ripping it out of the grass. The canine had a fierce grip on its arm and didn't seem to want to let go. Panic consumed the creature as it thrashed its arm around, trying to rip it out of the dog's mouth to no avail. Eventually, it resulted in the creature slamming the canine on the ground, one hit after another. It continued to cry out in panic as the dog whined and finally released its arm. However, at this point, the dog was a threat and much like an ape who had discovered a snake within their nest area, a threat would be eliminated.
The dog turned to run away from the monster but it reached out and grabbed a hold of its tail, pulling it back towards it. The dog reared back to snap at it again, barely missing its hand as it ripped its extremities out of the dog's range. Then it shot its hands forward and grabbed a hold of the canine's scruff and head once more before viciously slamming it into the ground, over and over again. The dog whined and barked, trying to fight back as its body was violently thrown into the ground multiple times. Eventually, it grew still and silent and the creature released it. It hovered over the unmoving canine before the sounds of the other dogs from the pack began to grow closer. It stood quickly, backing away from the dog on the ground and looking into the grass for the pack, its breath coming fast and its heart thundering in its chest like a freight train.
It let out a low, primal hiss as the other two dogs broke the bush, seeing their unmoving brethren on the ground before them.
