Introduction.

"Can I come hunting with you Mallie?" Sally's vibrant red eyes glowed; she brandished her fangs as the thought of sinking them into fresh blood sunk in.

"Sure." I smiled. "Maybe i'll catch something with you this time." 

"Your not that bad." Sally encouraged, a mischevious twinkle taking place of the hunger in her eyes. "Just..leave the swimming to the ducks, kay?"

I snorted. "I swear, he was mocking me." I protested. "Seriously, he was dancing into the creek!"

Sally chuckled, her eyes light with joy as she walked cheerfully beside me. The smell of our cabin became faint as the scent of prey sunk in. Sally's eyes lowered; her steps became as light as feathers.

I lifted my head, a scent washing over me. As soon as I caught it, my mind was blank. Sally crept beside me, her red eyes narrowing with defiance.

"She..she.." I backed away. I was aware of Sally's growls, but my own snarls drowned them out. "She lived..?"
