this part of my lobotomy

A half second after his snarl, Sirius appeared and launched at the cat, catching it just before it were to make a successful leap at the man. They'd easily taken the cat by surprise, Sirius having snagged it's leg and was now latching onto it's back and pressing it hard into the ground with his massive in comparison size. There was nothing the cat could do now, unless it too had a few adversaries lingering in the darkness around them. Of course, that was impossible, or he assumed anyway. Honestly, it was the last thing on his mind.

He was barked an order, told to kill, and he didn't hesitate. His paws dug into the ground as he launched at the animal that was nearly flattened by Sirius. With narrowed eyes he pressed himself forward and sunk his paws into the neck of the beast, off to it's side to avoid snapping teeth. With a quick shake, the flesh of the animal tore and with it, it's windpipe. Blood escaped from the wounds into his mouth, but he kept hold until he was certain the beast was dead, likely longer than he needed to. It'd been a while since he'd been on a hunt, especially another predator, and the release felt refreshing.
