Phoebe flinched first, the sudden action causing Silver to instinctually pounce. She dashed to the side, weaving left, right, away from his lunges. Her feet sunk into the grass and the wet, dredged-up earth. He dropped onto all fours, tail twitching, hips waggling.

Image: Phoebe is standing in the grass, visible from the back. She looks primed to run at any moment. Silver is on all fours in front of her, looking up at her and wagging his tail. Behind them the island melts into Avernus' lake, with more cypress trees in the distance. End description.

She kept her eyes on him, her face hard and determined. Each time he got close to catching her, Phoebe yelped and hollered- while at first it was out of frustration, the noises soon became playful, the same cries she gave when she was jumping into a mountain lake.

After only moments, Silver blocked her path before she even knew what path she was taking. His vision had become so attuned to her movements, and the more Phoebe ran the more of a hunter he became. She could only escape him for so long; when he hooked his claws into her hips and felled her, Phoebe didn't struggle. Not when he was already cutting right through bone.

Image: Silver pouncing on Phoebe. He licks and nips at her waist while his claws form deep gashes. Her guts and other organs to begin spilling out. End description.

Her heart hammered in her rib cage as he looked down at his prey. The chase had been quick.

Silver drew out everything that followed.

Readers I promise I don't have a kink for people getting all wet and muddy. I just can't put Silver indoors. He would wreck everything. I'm workshopping it
