Firefly Glen [PHE]Mama said knock you out

*rofl* ANOTHER 1
Sven: 11
Cygnet: 2

Her breaths came in pants, drawing realization to ribs that ached, and perhaps to poor cardio conditioning. As tough as Cygnet thought she was, her identity and her reality did not match up; bravado did not equal skill. So when he came for her again, it wasn't luck that landed the blow- it was her own lack of preparedness, as well as his skill. 

She hit the ground hard on her shoulder, curling up like a shrimp beneath the heavy paws that pressed her shoulder down, making it harder for her to breathe. Deep in her fur, his fangs kept her from being able to yank herself free. She could do nothing but kick out with her hind feet, and missed him time after time. She sent stones skittering toward bystanders- but save for one paw that grazed his shin, she could do nothing. 

Her growl was faint. The whites of her eyes showed, and teeth were bared in a threat that was useless. She could only lie in wait- see if he backed off even the tiniest bit but at this point- a comeback was damn near impossible.
