Everybody was kung fu fighting

Snap, snap, snap! The coyote's teeth came mere inches from her nose as she tucked her head away from the much smaller canid, once she had him thinking he was gaining an advantage, she stripped it away. Waiting for the male to close his jaws, Aaliyah struck and found purchase on his muzzle. She used every ounce of her bite force to crush her way through skin and the thinner bones of his nose. As the coyote screeched, two more rushed her sides, the one she happened to see caught a hind leg in the throat, but the other found purchase on the left side of her neck. It clamped its fangs into the loose skin of her neck and thrashed its head around, making fires of pain lance up and down her side.

Releasing the face of the male, though ensuring he would be out of the fight by mauling him with a wrenching shake of her head and ripping her teeth through the soft tissues of his nose, Aaliyah turned her attention to the coyote on her neck. Ducking her head she aimed her teeth for the hind leg of the creature, snarling loud in her pain, refusing to whimper even though the coyote shook its head in a motion that mimicked her own. Trapping the back of the coyote's leg between her teeth, Aaliyah clamped down and pulled the coyote off of her, jerking her head back and forth on the leg between her teeth in order to disable it.

Unable to stand the pain, the coyote yowled in Aaliyah's ear, making her grimace before she switched her aim to the lower jaw of the pest and wrenched it to the side, dragging the little beast by its lower jaw as it repetitively bit down on her muzzle. Shallow punctures showed, but nothing more as she shook her head to finally dislocate the jaw of the animal.

With the display, the other coyotes seemed to realize they were in too deep, becoming hesitant in their attacks once again. It gave her enough time to look at Malleus, hoping he fared better than she had. A bite wound to the side of her neck and a few knicks and scratches here and there began to show up bright red against the chocolate dusk of her pelt, damn vermin. Her red eyes looked back over the coyotes and waited to see what happened next.
