Red made careful note of what he looked like when he shifted so she wouldn't accidentally kill him. That would be a shame indeed. She quickly made her way to the north road, slipping silently between trees as she used several shortcuts she knew to get there. Now it was just a matter of waiting. She sighed, bored again.
As she waited she double-checked her cossbow to make sure everything was in order. She liked her hatchet better; silver weakened a lycan but the only way to kill them with it was from the neck up. It was a soft metal, so while her weapons were steel they all had been coated in silver, which made her hatchet and sword more favorable. It was easier to cleave a wolf's head in two or to just lob it off than to try and stick a bolt in the jugular of a running animal.
Still, right now it would be her best bet; all she needed was one to bring back to the village to answer for the night watchman's death. She would pick off the slowest and weakest of the pack, provided that wasn't her new pet. She didn't want the whole pack on her at once, and to be honest she needed some of them alive. Red didn't go out and hunt them without being asked; werewolf attacks kept her in business. They would keep breeding and she would keep culling the population. That was how things had been working.
Red's ears pricked as she heard a rustling down the road. Finally! The huntress slipped back into the trees and waited for her prey to pass her by.
