Sleepy Fox Hollow Run for your life, little girl

The lion screeched as it noticed Lennon’s sudden position of defense. For a split second he glanced to see how far Korei had run, only to see her frozen. Fear struck his chest, ”Run!” Before he had time to notice, the creature pounced forward trying to pin down either one of the two. It succeeded in merely tripping Lennon’s back legs for a split second before he got back up and his entire demeanor had morphed. His hair flared out on his neck, ebony teeth barred paired with a monstrous  growl. Instinct had completely taken over, his mind taken to a primitive level. 

The usually long and silky tail stood directly up, ears pulled to the back of his head as he snarled in resilience. The cougar was hardly phased and only growled in response. It made another move, claws exposed swiping at its mahogany opposite. Managing to strike blood on the males shoulder, to which he took the opportunity to try and grip its throat. He managed to at first, but his hold was weak and only hindered the cat slightly.
