A Bigger Bat

"Hmph, it's good, like a nice brandy." He replied. He instead started dumping the contents of the bottle down his throat as he was before, some of it dribbling down his chin as he wiped it away.

"I do not live in the forest no, me and my family live in a castle far away from here. We are looking for new hunting grounds and hoping to find more people to sell our 'wines' too."

"Oh yes indeed! Not all of them though, just enough to set up a good foothold. Mother wants to ensure that this venture is profitable." he said, his voice constantly sounded like a growl or snarl.

"No need to worry about competition though, we mainly hunt others like us." he assured her. He continued circling the Wendigo, sometimes invading her personal space for extra emphasis. Just because the situation had de-escalated did not mean Vanvibar ever stopped making sure his dominance was known.

"I have an idea, why don't we cooperate in a mutual hunt? Think of it as a sign of truce and understanding, from one predator to another, what do you say?" he said as he draped an arm over her shoulders.

"Indeed I'll drink them dry, and you get a nice human jerky to chew on." Vanvibar replied. Dyani began twisting his arm painfully, to which Vanvibar responded by laughing heartily before receding it from her shoulder.

"You sniff one out, I'll bring it down." With them in agreement he turned away from her before dropping to his knees. He let out a growling noise that began to rise in pitch as he began to turn into a very large bat, one that was the size of a small bus. The giant bat let out a loud screeching noise before it unfolded its enormous leathery wings and took flight into the air, it's wings could be heard beating in the sky.

Vanvibar glided through the sky as he followed the Wendigo over the forest. Though the Wendigo was fast, he could still keep sight of her given how high up he was. Then he saw her signal him and he started to glide downward, scanning through the trees for the target. He managed to find the scent of blood, and before long he could see the girl was picking some kind of herb in the undergrowth. He broke into a full dive towards her, letting up before getting to close to the ground. In one fell swoop he grabbed the girl in his large claws and began to fly away with her. The girl screamed as she started to get a little crushed by his grasp.

Vanvibar flew until he saw a small clearing. He flew over it before letting the girl go high enough that something had to break when she landed. Indeed that seemed to be what happened as she grasped her leg and cried out for him to leave her alone. He circled once before landing and turning back to his more humanoid form. The girl tried to run, she got up and started hobbling away as fast as she could, tears streaming down her face as she became desperate. Vanvibar ran at the girl and tackled her to the ground before whipping around and picking her up by the hair. He then lifted her body up with his other hand and yanked her head back to expose her neck.

She he attempted to scream out for help one last time before Vanvibar opened his jaws wide and bit down hard on her neck. Then his jaws began moving in a sawing motion, causing his numerous canines to quickly rip into her throat. For about a minute she continued to struggle, her screams silent without her windpipe. Eventually her body went limp and Vanvibar began to gulp down the blood as it fountained out of her neck. For a good minute or two he gulped away until she was completely pale and lifeless. Once he was done he tossed her limp body in a heap on the ground, her head noticibly more free moving due to her mangled neck.
