Everybody was kung fu fighting

In an instant Aaliyah was at his side. Her arrival was marked by the shrieking of startled and wounded coyotes who hadn't seen her coming. Amused by their fright, Malleus chuckled and bared his teeth at the coyotes brave enough to circle back. "Mal, behind you!" In a flash Malleus whipped around and pounced on the offending coyote. Expertly he wrapped his arms around the coyote's shoulders and pinned its lowered head between their chests. With its head down the coyote was powerless and unable to defend itself. It screamed as Malleus drove his teeth into its back. He was quick and merciless as he dispatched the coyote; laying down bite after bite until it quit struggling. Out of the corner of his eye Malleus saw another stalking towards him. He flung the dead coyote at it and then lunged for it. The female coyote, easily his age or older, was no fool. She sidestepped his assault and made a break for it. Malleus' teeth grazed her haunch but he was left with little more than a mouthful of fur. With no coyotes in reach Malleus spun around in search of Aaliyah. Knowing her, all the action would be around her. |
