Heron Lake Plateau your shadow weighs a ton

Nothing could have prepared Niamh for what happened next. One moment, Screech was by her side, subdued and as distant and cold as he'd been, generally, since he'd awakened from his coma, but the next moment...She was laying beside a feral beast, who, once she had finished pleading with Raven, bared his teeth in a greusome grimace and snarled with the ferocity of a cornered mountain lion. Raven's features had been gentle, motherly- but the reaction she got from Screech was horrific. Before Niamh could do anything but open her mouth in surprise, Screech had found some energy that surrendered itself for his use and he launched himself at the alpha female, jaws snapping. 

"No!" She cried, as Screech collided with Raven and continued to snap at her after he'd bowled her over. Niamh did not know what to do- Screech was injured and weak, but all of a sudden, he was attacking Raven with the intent to kill. Not knowing what else to do, she howled, briefly- an ear-splitting cry that lasted only the amount of time it took her to hget to her feet as she cried out with a sudden, wild desperation before she launched herself at Screech. Raven had been knocked clean over, and blood was already pooling on the ground beneath her. Niamh silently leapt directly at Screech's side, aiming to hit him square in the ribs and shove him off with sheer momentum so that he could no longer bite Raven.
