Heron Lake Plateau And hell I took you up on all your threats to leave

Everything seemed to go so fast! Eljay bit down on its tail and squeezed his eyes shut, unable to bear seeing what else may happen and fearful for the threat to head his way again. He heard growls and screams going on, and felt pressure on the tail, but all else was a big blur to him. It seemed like everything, all the sounds, all the movements, were in slow motion and at the same time passed him by at high speed.

When Eljay opened his eyes he saw Niamh's teeth around the coyote to keep it in place. There was an open spot at its neck that Eljay couldn't probably easily have grabbed, but he just couldn't. To hold it by its sensitive tail was already a bit thing for Eljay but he was too frozen too do anything else or more. He just kept standing there with the tail still clenched between teeth and bit down hard on that, unable to take any opportunities or do anything useful while he willed this fight to be over soon.
