Re: Elevator: Inside
Four paws to boards that threatened to splinter, she moved silently. The smells from below already had found their way to her nose, causing her to shake her head with the sneeze that followed. She shook it off before emerging from one shadow to slip to the next, hunting. She found the four-footed form of herself to be wrong and unwanted, but intoxicating in its power. She could track whoever she wanted, follow them and their fear until she found them. And then, well she would decide then. Though she knew she should remain silent in her hunt, she couldn't help but tip her head back, let out a wailing waver of a howl. It echoed in the air, out toward the water, finding any ears close enough to hear.
With doors about to close, she slipped onto the elevator, following the thubthump of panicked heartbeat. A flick of her tail brought it in to safety before it was caught in the narrowing space, and she sat back, looking at the prey she'd cornered as the elevator began to move downward.
He was lovely, all trembles and throwing off the scent of only a moment's relief. She caught a pleased growl behind her teeth as she bared them, her own heart giving a skip as she thought of burying them in his flesh, using them to tear at those delicate wings.
