At your door

She raced around the other side of the cat to steer it away from escaping across the rapids. It was icy but she was able to remain on her toes. The cat scrabbled for purchase on the slick stones, its claws seeking something to sink into. It was only met with stone and ice. Theory hopped one rock closer, snapping her jaws at the cat's heels to get to step forward. Just a few more inches... With a yowl, the cat's back legs finally lost their fight. The cougar hit the thin ice and it shattered beneath the weight - the frigid water trapped beneath welcomed the cat to its final resting place. As it sank into the quickly moving water that had been hidden beneath the ice, it lashed out one final time and threw its front paws across the stone, claws fully extended. It was close to Sirius but she couldn't quite see if the cat made contact. There was another hideous shriek as it sank beneath the current and then a strange silence. Theory was breathing hard, clouds of condensation hiding her face until her gasping slowed to a normal tempo. "Sirius? Are you hurt?" She called across the wet rocks. "Meet me on the shore!" As she picked her carefully back to solid ground, Theory sent her raven deeper into the pack lands to grab her medic bag. Cougar claws weren't anything to sneeze at, even if they'd managed to execute the cat quickly.
