Natii awakes with a cramp in her leg and though she tries her leg will not move into a better position. Natii attempts to push her body out of the crevice she had slept in, but found much resistance to her movements though she made some progress. A few more three legged shoves pushes her out and into the early morning light. Natii ponders how she could fit in at night but not in the morning as her leg uncramps, when a glance at her side gives the unexpected answer. The scratches and slashes that had streaked her side were now healed to faint pink lines. Though startled by this, Natii has no time to think as her six day needs to be broken, and soon. She stalks off wishing for an early success. Midday produces a pair of very fat deer with seem to be thriving off of the lush grass and the absence of predators. Natii leaps attempting to hit the closest deer but she misjudged the needed jump and hits the deer with only her back paws though she does hit the seconded one with all four feet. After subduing the deer Natii turns to find the first stone dead on the ground.
Natii knows that it will be impossible to drag both deer back to the structure that she had dubbed "The Temple" and difficult with only one, but her near staved state hates to leave any amount of meat to rot. She also knows that while she could most likely eat both deer she would need to sleep soon after, and be in no state to fight should an enemy appear, however unlikely. With a plan in mind Natii digs into the second deer, to keep the blood from pooling and giving away the element of surprise next time. With a bulging stomach and the deer down to the organs, she prods around for a moment, snatches the heart and eats it. With the first deer in her mouth Natii drags it back towards "The Temple". The tigress thanks everything that she had circled around the temple and only stood a half-hour or less away from relative safety.
Natii drags the deer to the front of "The Temple" and sits it, and herself down in the warm sun set to gorge when a glint from the shadows caches her eye. The tigress stands a stalks off to the shadows. The glint came from a pool of water that had gathered in a low spot at the edge of the shade and so she dips her head and drinks a few swallows of cool water. Natii drags the deer over to the edge of the sunshine and sits down with her head in reach of both deer and water. Natii then eats about half of the deer before stopping to drink.
With the sun low in the sky Natii finishes off the deer and drinks till she can drink no more. With her legs spread out to give room for a gorged stomach Natii drops to sleep
