Odette Mooncrest Crash! Odette jumped out of her sleep with a startle, the loud noise nearly causing her heart to leap out of her chest. It was some time after dark, perhaps inching more towards early morning? But what on earth was that sound? Then the horrendous sound of her hens screeching into the night air echoed into the dirt walls of her den, and time seemed to slow. No... No.. No! Leaping to all fours, Odette rushed out into the twilight, the brisk air of autumn nipping at her ears as she kept them perked, waiting for her ladies to cry out again. It was a horrible sound, the pleading cry of a caged and dying animal being slaughtered. It was a sound Odette hated with a passion, and yet she heard it far too often. Though Killian's assistance in guarding her coop was a great improvement, the warrior could not watch throughout the night, and it seemed these night terrors were persistent still. Commotion to her right alerting Odette to the perpetrator, stalking within the fenced in arena of her hen house. Rage flooded the fawn woman's blood as a fierce sense of protection lurched in her heart. These were her birds! No mongrel was going to take them from her! Dashing forward, Odette plunged head first into the coop, her lips snarling and her hackles rising and her bright cerulean eyes narrowing into slits. Many times before the woman was forced to chase the attackers off, mostly running into raccoons or foxes, but tonight seemed to hold something far more challenging in front of her. Cloaked in the shadows of darkness, with only the faint light of the moon to illuminate it's frame, stood a ferocious looking mountain lion. How, on earth, did it manage to get passed her fence and reach it's filthy claws into the hen house? Odette may never know. But what the female did know, was that she was severely outmatched. Odette was a healer, a hunter at her most violent tendencies, but certainly no fighter. Slit eyes slowly widened, and that aggressive snarl slipped into a tight line as she realized what was happening. Odette was in a cage with a mountain lion, a cougar, and there was nothing standing in the large cat's way from taking Odette down and harvesting all the chickens after. In a panic, Odette called out, her voice trembling with each word. "H-hey you! G-get out of m-my hen house!" Did it seem brave? Or was it as stupid as Odette thought it was? Her answered was revealed as the large cat turned it's attention toward the wolf, large fangs being revealed as the beast let out an ear piercing hiss. Odette had interrupted their dinner, and it would seem the feline did not appreciate the rudeness of her actions. Immediately Odette regretted it, her ears laying back on her head as her tail tucked up tight along her abdomen. "N-Nice.. kitty..." She knew the kind of pain she would be in store for, having caught the aggravated claws of her companion Cordonia a fair amount of times. Only this cat was bigger, much bigger, and would surely love to eat the wolf as well. Panic rose up her throat as she turned to flee, the cougar kicking up sand as it took off after Odette. The fawn woman, fearful for her life, cried out in hopes someone might answer her plea. "Oh no, help! Please, anyone! Ahhh!" Her scream would follow suit as the cougar leaped out in front of her, cutting off her chance of escape. Odette would be pinned between the big cat and her hen house, and the only thing she could think of was to beg for mercy. |
