Boa was up an hour or two before dawn, getting up as he shifted into human form. Sneaking into his room without a sound, even though his body was heavy with muscle, he grabbed a pair of pants, a shirt, his coat, and his work boots before leaving out the front door. He made sure to leave a couple pieces of bread, the little bit of soup Rogue hadn't eaten, and a glass of juice out on the counter for Rogue. It had a note with thick, bold handwriting that read 'Rogue, make sure to eat. Be back soon.' Boa didn't know why, but he felt it was important to leave some indication that he would be back to take care of Rogue. He wasn't even sure if the guy could read but he had to do something and he wasnt a very creative type of guy so thats all he could think of.<br/><br/>Leaving his pile of clothes just outside the doorway, Boa shifted into his wolf form, standing tall with power and authority. Putting his nose to the ground for a moment, he sniffed around to make sure no unwelcome visitors had followed the injured wolf. Flicking his ears in satisfaction once he was relieved there was none, Boa trotted to the edge of the woods. Pausing once again to sniff the air. Finally, he was off. Running at high speeds, weaving through the trees and jumping over small creeks that zigzagged throughout his territory. Soon he slowed to a trot as the powerful scent of deer drifted in his direction. Keeping his senses open and his eyes darting from one corner to the next, Boa crouched a bit lower to the ground. Staying as hidden as possible in the snow as he almost crawled forward.<br/><br/>Looking out into a wide open field, Boa saw two does, a baby deer, and one buck. All of which were rooting through the snow to find just one root or maybe blade of grass to devour. Glancing at the two does, he pinned his ears back, not happy to see the does in such bad condition. Almost everyone of their bones poking through their skin, the baby deer looking half-dead as it struggled to just stand next to its mother. Switching his gaze to the buck, he was more satisfied with the amount of meat on this one. The buck's bones were still seeable through the skin but at least there was enough to meat to last both Boa and Rogue a couple of days.<br/><br/>Crawling through the deeper snow, Boa kept close to the side of a nearby hill. Watching the buck's every move to make sure he wasnt detected as he crept closer from behind. Peeling back his lips, a low growl started to crawl up his throat but he bit it back as he was only a few feet from the buck. Suddenly, the bucks head shot up and it looked straight at Boa. Alerting the others in the process, the does took off for cover, one pushing the lamb into the brush. The buck followed seconds after, bounding away through the snow. But it never rejoined its family as Boa took off after it, stretching his legs as far as they would reach, pushing off the ground with incredible strength. As he closed the distance between himself and the buck, Boa bunched his muscles together before leaping high into the air. Soaring through the air, Boa landed square on the bucks shoulders, bringing it down just by the added weight knocking him off balance. If it had been any other season, the buck would've probably been long gone by now, but the poor condition of the animal caused it to collapse just with the slightest bit of added weight. Boa probably wouldnt have even had to jump to trip it up, but he thought he needed the exercise anyway.<br/><br/>As the buck and Boa tumbled to the ground in a heap, Boa pounced to tear through the buck's jugular, not wishing it to suffer any longer. The buck ceased all movements seconds after Boa bit through its neck, allowing Boa to get it from behind, dragging the freshly killed meal back to his home. And the sun was just starting to rise, something told Boa that this was going to be a fulfilling day.
