Cricket Creek Bog Nocturnal animals.

She couldn't explain why she wanted to fight them, but something was urging her on.  It was like a switch had flipped and she suddenly felt like letting them remain here was an affront to her own strength and position.  She couldn't let that happen.

Both of them came at her at once, and they both dwarfed her in size.  She dodged Firefly, but doing so set her straight in Towhee's path.  She took the hit and was knocked off her feet, the breath whooshing from her lungs as she hit the ground.  

Surprisingly, this did not make her come at them harder.  Instead it shocked her back, and as she scrabbled up she had the thought of how stupid it would be to be injured like this.  She couldn't afford it.

So, with a final glare, and wishing she could finish it, she took off back towards home.  Once she got there, reason would come back and open a whole new slew of questions she didn't have the answers to yet.  She knew one thing though - she did not like this feeling, the one that something other than she was in control.
