Ankyra Sound out of chaos came the light

Wrong move. Her attempt at seeming less frightening came across as submission. Her mistake had flared up to the seethingly growling beast before her. Growling but there was no sound either. The awkward silence had escalated to a tense one in a second. Helen instinctively took a pawstep back, her amber eyes widening at the sight of the dominating figure.

In response, however, Helen could not bear to have her pride hurt so easily. How low had she stooped to? Her shy tail uncurled and pointed straight upwards, as she exchanged a gutty snarl through her gritted teeth. His sudden aggression ignited fury from deep within her. "Look here!! I didn't do anything! Stay back or I'll-" she snapped impatiently but caught herself from pouring all of her anger out onto him, hopefully before it was too late. Although lean, his athletic build enabled him to simply pounce onto her without a moment's notice. While she had agile legs, Helen could not count on them to completely remove her from harm's way. 

Her heart was pounding against her chest, as she contemplated about fight or flight. In an area as secluded as the sound, if anything were to happen, no one would come to her assistance. Maybe it was best to flee. Then again, the sign of his dominance was most probably caused by her overly submissive act. Not wanting to repeat the same mistake, she didn't let her tail down, but her expression softened. It was her fault for intruding. She opened her mouth to say something but left it hanging as she swallowed her words. Instead, she swooped her head back and forth, her eyes asking if she should leave.
