Riptide

It was only a grin. A big toothy grin. I wanted a little fluffy friend, and he just assumed I wanted to eat him. I'm not that kind of wolf. Not that kind of animal.
Really, I'm only a pup.
I pounce from rock to rock. I deserve a friend. A true friend, like that bunny I was going to call my buddy. He flew from his spot. Man, did he dash. The memory still hurts. He ran so fast. I was just going to nab him. Nab him for myself. Take him away. Paw around with him. Bounce around his bounding form. Maybe take a nip at his fur. Feel his flowing blood. His pounding pulse. His quickened breath. He should've known it would've gotten to me. So I chased after him, but really, did I do anything wrong? No, of course not.
He dodged my snapping jaws. Skipped over my swiping claws. He got away, but I was left all alone. Am all alone. Alone forever because they always run.
Then again... I followed him. He began to slow. He began to rest. I hunched low. I covered up my tan fur with the grass. I trod carefully, not making noise. His nose twitched so delicately. Really, I did tell them all. All I want is a true friend.
He was still. I didn't want to do it, I really didn't, but I was hungry. Nuts and berries only cut it so far. A true vegetation diet doesn’t keep the gut full. Doesn't fuel those muscles of mine, and I get pretty hungry after a few weeks. But I told them I was an angel really.
He didn't understand, but I cried. I cried when my jaws closed around his neck. When his bones snapped and cracked. When my canine's dug deep into his fur.
When the dirt was colored scarlet. Really, I was truly sorry. I only wanted a friend. A friend to talk to and love.
All I got was a meal. That's all I always get.
