Phoenix Maplewood jailed for frenzied killing of her aunt

PPing a bit to set up Saena's injuries, hope that's okay!

Saena darted backward as best she could when the heavy monster whirled around, but it served no purpose as the bear's swinging mitt connected with Nochtli's face. The alpha felt her heart leap into her throat and she made a half-step toward her subordinate, but she was wrenched back into reality by the bear spinning around again, exposing its hindquarters once more to the palest of the bitches.

She darted in again, but this time she let emotion get the best of her. Rather than aiming a swift bite to harass, she locked her jaws and tried to hold on, only for the bear's strength to nearly topple her as it presumably turned again. She was too slow to let go, too determined to cause real damage, and this time when she turned to dart away, the bear's lethal jaws connected with her backside, sending her sprawling with a yip and a yelp. A swing of its paw caught her in the haunch, and it was this one she felt most acutely as the bear's claws dug into her flesh and tore.

The alpha stumbled, then fell to the sudden spike of pain that made her vision flash. She ground her teeth together and raised her hindquarters enough to feel the wetness of her own blood, then her strength faltered and they sunk to the ground once more. She didn't know the extent of the damage, and wouldn't know until after that the bear had actually grasped and torn away the remaining half of her tail. All she knew was that her leg was in a world of pain and until adrenaline kicked in to drown out the pain of putting weight on it with such a deep wound, she was down for the count.
