Redtail Rise [M] And I've got a troubled mind

His laughter split and crackled like chain lightning. A spray of bloody foam made her squint at the last moment before impact and she felt teeth sink into her flesh again and again, pock-marking her hide with puncture wounds where thick, scarlet blood pooled to the surface and began to thread its way down along her fur. She felt the dragging of claws along her ribcage, scraping welts that rose like tiger stripes beneath her flesh. 

She struck and struck again, as he did- teeth clacking when they missed their hit, and when they came together on flesh she wrenched her head from side to side to try and tear whatever it was she had grabbed, and shake the wickedness from him. Between her teeth she felt the flap of skin she had grasped earlier, and with a yank, she tore it away, the sickening shred of tissue satisfying to hear and when she turned her eye to behold the mess she made, she saw the sickening gleam of red gelly where an eyeball had been. 

She snarled as one of his striking paws caught against the corner of her lip, and the curved claw raked downward, shearing through flesh until it reached her jawline. 

Blood running from her widened grimace, she opened her jaws wide, and lunged for his throat, hoping to clench her jaws together on something more substantial.
