Days had gone by since the first flakes began to fall upon the forsaken landscapes all over. Trees no longer provided good enough cover and the annoying chirping of birds were gone.. as they all flew away for the winter months.
The winds came directly from the north, making the snow pile up higher in many areas, including around the base of the much older trees that were as big around as a certain creature was long.
Head and body werebent low to the ground, felidae body flexing and stretching as she crept about, trying to keep warm and trying to find a big enough meal to fill her belly for the next day or so... at least until she can find another human village to raid as far as killing for pleasure went.
Large antlers slightly grazed the low hanging branches as the hellhound kept low, partially blind demonic eyes locked onto a big deer, listening to it chew the bark off the trees.
A black snake tongue flickered in and out of her muzzle, testing the air and continuing to creep forward. Crouched behind a pile of dead branches, the hellhound got into position, wriggling her shoulders and gathering her hind legs.
When the deer was turned around completely, she launched herself into the air, fangs of both snake and saber bared. Claws were extended to their fullest as the mighty beast gave a rumbling roar that had the prey startled, stunned and beginning the chase.
As it dashed off and leaving a dirt trail, Nao landed where it had been moments before and gave chase for her dinner. Bulky body lunged harder and harder until it gained momentum, slowly getting up to an extraordinary speed most canines around here would never seen by an animal her size.
Snarling as she dodged around trees, bracing against a tree and using it to lever herself to the right to follow the deer.
Giving it one last burst of energy, Nao swiftly caught up with the deer out in a clearing. She slashed at the backlegs, forcing the creature to fall with its own weight. As it bawled and frantically tried to get up and run Nao gave a snake-like his as she skidded to a halt in a large dirt cloud, panting very softly as she stalked around the beast.
Giving a sadistic grin, she stood over the victim and pressed a forepaw against its head, and using a back raptor claw to shred the belly skin and muscle. Hearing the reassuring sound of the spilling of intestines onto the grass and dirt, the large creature bit down onto the neck and ripped the head off, laughing as the deer's blood splattered everywhere.

The thundreding sound of hooves racing along the land startled the black thorough bred as she lifted her head to see a herd of deer racing towards her. Something had difently scared them out of their minds. Sensing some excitiment in her gut, the black horse trotted toward the on coming deer. They pasted her not looking back, afraid that the creature that had attacked might attack them if they did. Raven came to a small clearing and there stood a strange looking creature, a the carouse of a dead deer under its large body.

As the rest of the deer in the area flee with great haste, refusing to look back at the hideous demon that just moments ago killed one of their brethren, she let out a loud roar off triumph and proceeded to rip the legs off and swallow them whole.
But as the chimera-like creature swallowed the last leg whole, the sound of hooves coming near alerted her senses. Natural instincts took over to stand over her kill in a protective, aggressive stance, growling softly as those blind, demonic eyes stared at the distant creature, flicking that forked tongue out and tasting the air. Hissing in a snake manner, Nao's hackles on her withers began to stand straight up.
Was this hooved creature coming back to avenge the fallen one under her body or simply wanting to gawk at the monster that had been created from man's monstrous mind?
Those eyes watched silently.. coldly..

Standing there... watching as the creature began to devour the deer. Raven had never seen such an unruley monster before. This creature was nothing like she had expected to find. Who and what was this creature? Moving closer but not out of the tree line, the thorough bred got a better look at the creature. Cautious of this creature and hooves ready to pound the ground, racing for life if it decided to attack her. But there didn't seem to be any harm if she allowed the creature to see her.
Completely revealing herself, Raven stood her ground. No fear showed in her eyes, standing there, ready to run or fight if the time called for it. This monster intreged her and she wanted to know more about this creautre.

Flashing those large teeth as the horse came closer, the beast's body slightly lowered to pounce if she needed to. Flicking that tongue in and out silently, tasting the air and studying thise thoroughbred that seemed bold enough to come within pouncing range.
Nao could faintly smell this mare had belonged to humans in the past, could boldly speak out and say she broke away from them. Almost like herself... except they were different for Nao gorged herself on the blood of all humans and those canines that stood with nobility beside those wretched creatures.
With a growling stomach and lack of interest towards the intruder who seemed to not care whether she was or wasn't in a death apprentice's presence, Nao looked back to her carcass. Tossing the body up with little effort, the beast caught it length wise and proceeded to swallow it whole. As she did this, the subtle sounds of her jaws popping out of place was heard as the throat muscles expanded and contracted, helping the carcass slide fairly fast down the esophogus.
The whole process of swallowing took a total of five minutes to devour. When all was said and done, the monstrosity swung her head about and popped the jaw back in place, wiggled it and sat upon her haunches, proceeding to groom herself.
"What do you want?"
She growled amidst the cleaning of her massive head.

Raven for a long moment didn't speak. The creature before her, indeed intimidated her a bite but the mare wasn't scared. "Nothing really, just wanted to know what the deer were running from. If I may ask, what are you exactly?" the she-horse asked. A slight breeze blew past her, her nostrails filled with the scent of the large animal.
Not moving an inch, Raven stood her ground, ready for almost anything. Ears flicking around, alert, listening intently to the surroundings, waiting for an attack from any direction.

The monster finished cleaning her massive head and had begun to lick and pull irritating dirt from between the black webbing of her huge feet. However, when asked what she was, Nuyka N.A.O. stopped what she was doing, placing that huge paw upon the ground with nary a sound and appeared to have stiffened her entire body.
What was she... well she only vaguely remembered the day before she was taken from the safari, but before that she could not remember. Painful memories of being forced to change into what she was shot through her entire body, forcing a chilling jolt to run down her spine.
Oh how she wanted to remember what life was like before she was turned into a hideous beast as she presently was...
"I don't know what I am anymore... I.."
Stopping herself and shaking her head free of those pained memories, she growled and stood up to her full height.
"Well, I guess you could say I was a chimera, a hellhound.... an experiment those humans created because they got bored to the death with their plain guard dogs... hehehe, either way, I should not have been after all they've done to me... I'm a freak of nature..."
The hellhound had walked toward Raven and was walking in a large slow circle around the thoroughbred. She never had first hand with horses, but knew their kicks were deadly and painful like a zebras.
After talking and circling her twice, Nao calmed her mind and sat upon her haunches to the left of the mare, facing the opposite way she was. Those blind eyes had a film that blinked over those lids, though they appeared blind, there was turmoil and pain and hatred stirring rapidly within.
"I used to be normal once... I was a king cheetah taken from South Africa to the Americas and then brought here... I was nothing more than a breakthrough in science for them, I was just a trophy that they paraded around like some hot new toy..."
The creature calmly, quietly spoke. The way she sat gave her a hunched over look, showing the stripes down her back and showing silvery scars under thick fur in certain areas where incisions were made.

Listening to the large animal while being circled didn't sit well with Raven. The listening she didn't mind, but it was the fact that was being circled that made her uncomfortable. "Humans are disgusting creatures. I'm sorry that they've done what they did to you. No animal Hellhound or normal should go through the pains that humans inflect upon us animals." the thoroughbred spat.
Muscles tensing and flexing with each thought of humans. As far as Raven was concerned, she hated all humans and didn't want anything to do with them.

Flicking an ear as the mare spoke, the hellhound chuckled under her breath.
"It is often easier said for those who were raised by those creatures compared to one who knew nothing of them until being taken away."
Nao did not mean to sound so hateful, but what she had endured for all those years was something she aimed to put an end to. She wanted all humans to die, she did not care if they were little, or whatever. She intended to destroy them all and make this a domain for herself and others who have suffered from their cruelty.
[sorry its short]

The mare looked up at the hellhound. "I was raised by them. They treated me like dirt. Forcing me do their work when they were more than capible of doing it themselves. Humans have no right to live as far as I'm concerned." The memories of the humans who had owned her for years flood back to her. The beatings with sticks and whips made her angry. The cracking of the whip and feel of the sticks against her skin. Nostrials flaring with her anger for the humans. Stomping her hooves with anger, her mind was gone.

Growling as the femme repsonded to her bitter comment, she looked over at the mare and watched as she seemed to have grown irrational to her own thoughts and memories.
"Then we have a common enemy..."
She grinned, chuckling darkly as she scartached just under the spikes on her neck. Forked tongue flickered out as the beast turned around, standing up and stepped towards the thoroughbred, lowering that large head to eye level with the other.
"I was given the name Project #876, The Weeping Willow aka Nuyka N.A.O., you may call me Nao. And what was your given name thoroughbred?"
The monster inquired, tilting her head down as she introduced herself and stared with blind snake eyes at the mare. Feeling the heat signature the mare gave off, it allowed her to note where enemies were at one place or another.

Coming back to reality, Raven looked up at the hellhound. Catching just the last bite of what it had said. "I'm Raven. My mother gave me that name before she died by humans hands when they forced her to race for them for their pleasure. They tried to do the same to me but I didn't let them." She snorted.
(Sorry for the short post)
