Ouroboros Spine we've got crosses on our eyes

Just an FYI guys, there's no posting order in these either, so if you have time to post and you want to... go for it!

Unaware that Sitri had veered away in the racing moments that past, Mordecai found surprise when Harlyn rose up in his peripheral. There was not enough time for him to go looking around for how the others were doing; all of Mordecai's focus was set on the doe ahead of him. There he found a sense of renewed desire to fell the ungulate, and that gave him the surge that he needed. Lunging for her rump as she fled, Mordecai sank his teeth down hard through the tender skin and muscle. Bloodlust gave him that chance to enjoy the shriek she threw up, and her flailing and rampant tries to shake him loose signified the time limit they were on. Mordecai only hoped that Harlyn would be able to weigh her down enough to topple her, and that he would not lose all of his grip in the fleeting seconds to come.
