Duck Lake Ain't it good being all alone

Maybe if Ptarm had more insight, she would have realized that saying what she'd said was probably not the right thing to do. Then again, she hadn't ever particularly cared what came out of her mouth. The way she saw it, she could say anything she wanted, and because she hadn't made an aggressive move herself, Fox was completely in the wrong for bothering her at all. As quickly as that, she reasoned to herself that Fox was nothing more than a villain and a bully.

“Leave me alone,” she hissed, eyes widening as the small red Alpha began to stalk toward her. The Endore lacked fighting experience, or she might have thought they were probably even. Neither was much bigger than the other, and she reckoned Fox was probably as fast as she was. Rather than thinking logically, however, she immediately assumed she was going to get her ass handed to her and began to curl into a ball as the other came nearer... Only to feel a nip on her tail.

Panic enveloped her as she threw her gaze over her shoulder to see a duck right behind her. By then, Fox would have been almost on top of her, but Ptarmigan reacted to the duck with an almighty, snarly yelp and a sudden lunge in the red female's general direction. It would be no surprise if in her terror she bypassed the other wolf completely and began galloping straight for the creek, or left a good chunk of her shoulder fur behind in the other's teeth as she wildly tried to escape the Duck Hell she'd found herself in.
