Animal Crackers In My Soup

The bear flung her aside and she skidded on her back. Flinching she rolled quickly back onto her feet, her back burned and stung but she'd suffered worse and the pup was in trouble. The bear's focus was now on the boy. As the child took off running the bear went after. Lúta quickly sprang to her feet, her jaws latching around the bear's left achilles tendon. Her foreclaws dug into the bears leg as she thrashed her head violently. The bear roared and twisted around sending her flying once more but not before she had shredded the tendon. Stumbling up, she spat out the blood and took off running after the boy. "I'm right behind you, keep going!" She glanced fearfully back to see the bear starting to move after him. She hoped they could keep ahead of it long enough for the bear to decide that it couldn't do much more with its injury.
