On the Warpath (Bear Hunt)

Midnight had been thrown free as the bear had turned on Gargoyle her teeth slipping from its dark blood stained fur she had been thrown a short distance crashing into the back wall of the cave, a few stones fell from the ceiling tumbling around her but for a few moments she lay still temporarily stunned by the solid impact. She could here the bear crashing about as it followed gargoyle towards the entrance and gargoyles call for Odin to be ready, the fight was still going on.

She was sore all over now tomorrow she would be covered in bruises, and a small cut over her right eye sent blood flowing down her face mingling with the bear blood on her dark muzzle the white patch on her chin had long since turned red, but she was not going to let her pack mates fight him alone. Slowly she stood glancing around the cave to make sure all the others had made it out safe, she shook her head trying to clear it focusing on the task at hand she started forward just in time to see Odin be tossed to the side and the bear pull back slightly both ears now a tattered mess. She moved from the cave entrance glancing over at Odin for a moment to check he was ok before moving around, they basicly had the bear encircled. The creature roared its one gleaming brown eye stared at Odin and he began to move towards the wolf who had done him most recent damage, Midnight jumped forward snapping at his shoulder before moving back.

The creature turned to face her and she wondered for a moment if she saw recognition on its fury lined face, but the bear was swiping out its claws passing within inches of her nose she felt the unstable rocks under her feet and a thought occurred to her they where high up here if they could get the bear over the path edge then maybe its weight would pull it down bury it in rubble at least they would then be on flat ground. She needed to tell gargoyle of the idea but the bear stood between them roaring and screaming she could not yell over that an new idea she snapped at the beasts bloodied nose and the bear pulled back and up his head she ducked low and rushed underneath feeling him rear up above her as she did so but she made it through dodging his back paws she reached Gargoyles side, the bear was still moving trying to turn around to face them and so she took a moment to wipe the blood from her eyes, ?gargoyle if we can get him over the edge it might start a land slide bury him, at least get us to even footing,? muscles tensed ready for flight or fight she waited for the chiefs reply, there was fear in her eyes but also determination, this ended here.
