Redhawk Caldera I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.

Had this one not been threatening her family, Finley probably would still have wanted to kill him. The more he spoke, the more difficult she found it to keep herself from charging him herself. She was paranoid still that someone would sneak up on her and take the kids if she left them, and it was the only thing that kept her still. Well, that and she had faith that her mate would do the murdering for her.

Her snarl deepened as the stranger attempted to egg her on. It simply convinced her all the more that this was part of a plan to get to her babies for why else would this psychopath be trying to earn himself a second attacker? Fin moved her arm protectively to pull Phox in closer and moved her muzzle down to do the same with Towhee. As she leaned down to the little girl, however, she was met with a sharp knock against her chin as Towhee broke cover. Fin's eyes widened as the pup's words echoed in her ears and she watched the girl dashing away from her, headed right towards the fight.

Now it was really difficult for Fin to stay put. "Towhee, no!!" she barked, knowing perfectly well that the pup would never hear her. In a panic, she reached to grab Phox's scruff as he too attempted to race after his sister. She pushed him down onto the ground and forced him into submission to ensure he wouldn't be going anywhere before her head snapped up and she shouted to her meat, "Elwood, behind you!  Stop her!!" Even if it meant the trespasser ran off without a  scratch, it didn't matter as long as her kids were safe.
