Moonspear the night brings violence, are you okay

Gaze was locked onto the bird of prey before her as she stood frozen, limbs stiff, unsure of what to do. Her mind was torn between calling for her parents, fleeing or investigating this strange creature further. Curiousity pulled at her in earnest but her fear kept her from saying or doing anything. Maybe it would think her too boring, too small to bother. Did it even eat meat like their kind?

Suddenly, Lyra was rocked into action as the bird leapt forward, sharp nails hitting their mark with a sniper's aim. She barely had time to react, managing only to release a single, panicked, "NO!" as talons gripped the tender skin around her shoulders. The ground was quick to leave her flailing paws as she heaved into the air and the girl let out a blood-curdling shriek for her sisters, for @Charon and @Amekaze, anyone! She didn't even think about being punished for straying so far from the den, she just wanted to get away from this terrifying creature.
