Swiftcurrent Creek pack activity · fight or flight

Next post will be on Thursday the 20th.

Fox watched in stunned horror as the cat grabbed ahold of Njal's face. Another shot of adrenaline pulsed through her veins, and she darted at the sharp-clawed creature, going for the stomach like Bones was doing. With the cat's focus on Njal, it was not difficult to puncture the flesh and rip its abdomen open. Out came what seemed like buckets of blood, covering Fox's face, chest, and paws. She could only imagine that Bones would be covered as well. Though her side and neck ached (the two main places the cougar had managed to scratch and bit her), it must have been nothing compared to what the intruder was feeling now.

The lithe beast loosened its grip on Njal as the last fleeting moments of its life came to a close. Fox did not notice this, for in her frenzy to kill the beast, she had not stopped attacking it, even as it lay still on the ground. With fire in her eyes, she tore at the creature's throat, ripping it from its original place and tossing it aside. This continued for several more seconds, Fox ripping apart whatever piece she could find and tossing it aside. Only when the delayed realization came to her that the creature was no more than a mess of bones and blood did she cease her attacks.
