His face contorted with pain as the beasts teeth embedded themselves into his paw. Perhaps trying to force it down wasn't the best idea he had to date, but with the pain shooting up his leg, he couldn't think clearly. With desperation, he managed to grab one of the cougars ears in his mouth and started pulling. He shook his head violently, trying to yank the cougar off of him while inflicting pain in the hopes it would help. Heart hammered against his chest as he realized he was making it worse, and he wasn't in the best position to be able to move enough without losing his footing now. Shit! He was in this predicament all because he had to play hero...all throughout winter he seemed to be fighting nothing but other predators, and he wondered if it was just bad luck or maybe he always ended up in the wrong places at the wrong times. Or maybe I'm looking for it... He thought bitterly. Subconsciously, he knew he did sometimes. He had always been a thrill seeker, but even he had his limits. Fighting predators all winter wasn't exactly on his list of winter activities, but the ones he had fought this year seemed to just be his bad luck. The winter was harsh this year, which led to many predators becoming desperate for food.
As he frantically tried to think about what to do, the woman he had initially tried to rescue would end up becoming his saving grace. The alabaster female attacked the cougar's hind legs. His ears pinned against the furious and pained howl of the beast, and the moment it opened its mouth Ace pulled free and stumbled back. The Cougar twisted in an attempt to reach the woman, and though Ace was in a lot of pain, he didn't want the woman to get hurt on his behalf. With a final ditch effort, he scruffed the cat with his teeth and yanked it away from her, tearing its leg from her mouth and hurling it as far as he could into the hardened snow. The cougar landed with a heavy thud, bleeding and angry. But it realized it could not take them on anymore, and finally decided to limp off into the trees.
Ace remained on guard for several, long moments. His teeth bared and all defenses still up, waiting to see if it would come back. But as the scent of the cougar began to fade, Ace let go of the breath he didn't realize he had been holding. He fell back onto his haunches, eyes closing with relief for a moment as he sighed. He was glad that was finally over..."Thank you for your help," He opened his eyes and turned his head to look the woman over. She didn't look too hurt, which was good in Ace's head. He had thrown himself at the cougar to take the brunt of the attacks. Clearly it wasn't one of his best ideas, but he just couldn't let an innocent get mauled. He, on the other hand, was used to getting mauled. But perhaps he let himself go a little too far with it... |
