Food was hard to come by. So in-between supply runs, Helena would grab her crossbow, and make her way into the woods to hunt and gather food. She'd made herself familiar with what berries and roots were safe for eating, and where certain animals lived. She made sure to be quiet, not wanting to scare anything away. She might not be donning a costume and running over rooftops anymore, but she was still the Huntress.
Fate would have it that Helena would come across two deer, a doe and her fawn. Helena crouched in the shadows, waiting to take aim. She remained perfectly still, knocking her cross bow and firing at the doe, shooting it in its side. It staggered a little, and started to run. Helena flew out of the bushes, running as fast as she could. She fired a couple of more times, and the doe went down. The fawn was next...Helena shot, trying to pace herself to take down the fawn. Luckily, it didn't take as many arrows to take down the fawn as well. Helena stood over her kills, wiping her brow of sweat. The meat from both animals would last awhile, and she knew how to preserve it correctly to get quite a few meals out of them.
The weight was heavy, but Helena managed to drag both the doe and her fawn back to camp. She needed to get them to the supply cabin so she could skin and gut them before preserving the meat.
