#she... hungee

She saw him long before he saw her, hollow gaze centered on the intruder, observing. Her plans for hunting the villagers were set aside, she had new GAME now; far more interesting than any mere peasant folk. At last his senses drew his gaze to meet hers, and a slow, insidious smile stretched her jagged maw. Unafraid, all the more fun to play with. His voice reached her and she was still for a beat, before taking a step forward and promptly vanished. It was as if the beast has never existed... til there was the soft, fluttering ebb and flow of breath on the back of the interlopers head, a dark shape hunched and looming to his back.
