Horizon Ridge Niptaruk

Lane's inexperience with hunting had led her to believe that the targeted boar would respond like other ungulates she had hunted, running away from the suddenly-appeared hunter. She was not prepared for the boar to square-off, and then charge toward her. 

How quickly the hunter became the hunted. 

Lane yipped in surprise, scrambling to get away from the creature. She ran out onto the beach, leading the boar in a chase across the moonlight-soaked sand. She stopped only when she heard it scream, the sound reverberating from a distance that she judged as safe. 

Her fellow hunter had joined the fray. He was engaged in a fight with the fierce creature, and Lane found it impossible to simply stand by and watch, even though that would have been in line with their earlier agreement. She circled the tussling pair, darting in to bite when she saw an opening and then jumping away to protect herself. She would do this repeatedly as the fight continued. In this manner she would rip a gaping, bleeding wound in the boar's middle back.
