a 14 :0 he gets to catch

She knew, once he had given chase, that should he catch her he would attempt to take her life.  She fled all the harder, but as usual, luck was twisted out of her favor.  As she ran, her paw turned upon the uneven and unfamiliar rise and she fell heavily, the wind knocked from her as her side and hip struck the stone.

Panicked, she snarled, baring sharp fangs as a rebuttal to the cat who was too close to now outrun.  The remainder of her breath expelled in a sharp, throaty warning sound, somewhere between a growl and a bark.  She scrabbled backwards, attempting to rise before Shardul reached her, heart pounding madly in her chest.  This was not the closest yet that Roz had come to death, but this time her chances of escape were dwindling.  If she couldn't get away, his size and strength would be unmatchable.
