Redtail Rise captive pursuit

When teeth pressed against their scruff, Ruckus writhed. They loosened their grip, but now Ruckus was squealing something fierce, the ear-splitting sound surely alerting every creature in a ten mile radius of the outcry that was currently happening. Their front and back paws swiped aimlessly, desperately, as they attempted to free themselves from the stranger's teeth (who were plenty gentle, but you wouldn't know it by Ruckus's display of pure panic).

Assuming the stranger did finally release them, Ruckus backpedaled several steps, the fur along their spine sticking straight up, while they growled menacingly. They wouldn't approach again, and their posture and demeanor remained anything but friendly.
