Phantom Hollow Gaze at me instead

Maiken froze at the sound of the terrified scream filled the silence. She stopped dead in her tracks as what followed was nothing less than everything she didn't want to hear. She ran toward the din of battle, anxious with each tiny sprint. 

Would she get there in time? Would she be able to help? The screams continued though they had fast turned from frightened to angry. She could hear the scuffle and it filled her veins with ice. She forced herself onward, and forward, feet as fast as she could go

It was with trepidation and surprise she came across the battle, dog versus bobcat, very strange dog. But Maiken didn't think, she jumped into the fray, she was tiny, could reach the bobcat easier, and it couldn't strike as hard. She was tiny, but mighty and she gave all she got.
