Starring role

Mæva had buried herself deep in the underbrush, twisting to try and get back around so she could see where the cat was and if it still posed a threat. If it were a healthy cat it might leave her be if she was leaving its territory but she couldn't quite tell what was going on with this one and didn't' know what to expect from it. It was screeching in pain and she peeked out of the brush to see a wolf seizing it by its scruff and shaking it.

Oh! She'd been so caught up in saving her own skin she hadn't noticed the man. Feeling like she at least ought to help she slipped quietly from the brush then darted forward, coming in at the panther's right hind leg at a perpendicular angle. Her fangs sank into the leg, just above the knee and she also started shaking her head to do as much damage as possible. At that moment the cat kicked out, the hind paw striking her in the chest and pushing her back into the raspberry brambles.
