along the blood-soaked road [closed - ended]

[ warning: he squashed a rabbit on the thunderpath and is enjoying the view ]

Hareflood was once again free from the confinement of Clan life, and he was ready to make some observations.

On his way to the Thunderpath, he had caught a grazing rabbit, and he carried his kill to the edge of the road.

And then he waited. And waited.

Until the screech of the monster reached his ears and he saw it rushing around the corner, and he swung his rabbit into the path of the beast.

The impact was almost instant - a splat that made Hareflood step back in surprise. "Nice." There was ... not much left of the rabbit, admittedly. It left a smear of meat and fur paste on the ground and it made him curious.

If this happened to a rabbit, what would it do to a cat?

➵ Lightningstrike ⚡

Lightningstrike took a quick break from stalking her prey, pausing near the edge of the Thunderpath to watch Hareflood with her yellow eyes narrowed to slits. Was he.. okay? She'd gone out for a brief hunt, something to chill her beating heart(um) and had been stalking a vole when she heard her Clanmate doing.. something along the edge of the Thunderpath. A woosh of the beast running on the asphalt, Lightning had worried that the tom had been squished, smooshed, was gone courtesy of the monster. But no. Hareflood had caught a hare, obviously. And.. it looked like it was smeared on the hot black path. She flicked her ears back, admiring the gore and mess, then stepped out of the treeline.

"That's so cool. I'd love to try it."

Hareflood hadn't anticipated being followed out here, and the sudden voice made him jump.

He whirled on his paws, pelt bristled and on the defensive, when he froze. It was Lightningstrike.

It was a girl.

Slack-jawed and uncertain, Hareflood dropped his gaze and instinctively tucked his body in close - doing his best to make it look normal to avoid the intrusive eyes along his warped back. He shuffled away from the Thunderpath, avoiding her gaze as he edged toward the treeline away from her.

And then he made his escape, sprinting off to escape the boring gaze.

There went his fun for today. She'd probably make fun of him like the rest .. mocking, degrading, relentless.

[ @Cobra you scared him off ]
