" I did not...I do not know what came over me." she admitted, head pressed against the earth where it belonged. "I am not a fighter..." she trailed off, repeating to the woman what she had admitted to her upon acceptance. She had never been taught to fight and had no need for the skill, her paws had always been more successful in carrying her away from the fight than her jaws had been in leading her toward it.
