Redtail Rise [M] Ah but working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

With a clump of fur and skin in her mouth and his weight sunk against the ground, she had him. Pitifully he begged, weakened. In the moment where they finally became still, she realized just how hard she was breathing, and how fast her heart was beating, but the adrenaline surge kept her wide-eyes and trembling with energy. 

She didn’t release him, but angled herself to stand over him, straddling his body beneath hers to make her point clear. She could take his life if she wanted; she could shake him and make him hurt and beg for mercy. She didn’t though. She knew she’d won, and he’d given up. She tightened her grip, and emptied her bladder as he shook beneath her. 

Point made, she released him and snapped her jaws together- hoping he might take that as a final clue, and never risk his life or his dignity by coming near the Rise ever again.
