Firefly Glen [M] stop, don't save yourself

Perhaps he was blessed to temporarily forget about who roamed the glen, for unlike the others, West never derailed into a downward spiral of worry for those he loves. Any small nagging voices that did bite through the noise were quickly quieted as Leta and Polaris were quick to arrive at the scene, the former tumbling into a pile of legs with Osiris causing him to skid in a flurry of snow to a halt with wide eyes. Polaris had been crying, something that worried him at first, though it was clear from her apology and the way she looked at him that she was fine. They were fine.

For a moment it felt as if a blanket had been draped over the four, a sense of safety and comfort as all of them seemed to relish in each other's company and wellbeing. Though peace never lasted and it certainly didn't this time as the bellows of a beast echoed in the open air and brought him back to the situation at hand and what the fucking hell was that???!!

West had heard of bears, pictured something that was...eh kinda close, but...this thing, barreling towards them with blood and rage actually froze him to the spot. For a stumpy legged creature, it moved faster than he expected and was quick to collide with Osiris. It wasn't until he heard the sounds of retaliation that he thawed, a spark igniting within as his options were laid out before him. Truthfully there was no option, for he had picked from the start.

A hunger gnawed at him, hot and angry that the world would even try to strip him of another life, of his family. He hadn't even felt the snarl rising in his throat as legs automatically propelled him forward, fangs seeking along the bear's side to rip and tear what he could. It was clear from the wounds he had that others had attacked, but they weren't here now. They weren't here, and as to what that meant he didn't want to know. What he did know is the beast had to of been weakened now. They could stop it. They would stop it.
