This Again?

As Fern retreats away, coming to stand close to Serenity, she offers her fighting companion a wide grin. The earthy toned wolf spits a laugh toward the gray girl and Fern throws her a wink. Resetting her stance, Fern starts to jog slowly around the side of the tiger as Serenity moves forward. The tiger is trying to get his paws under him when Serenity jumps up and onto the tiger’s back and latches onto its scruff with her teeth.  Earthen hued legs wrap around the tiger’s neck, trying to stabilize her hold on the big cat.

The tiger is not happy. The cat throws its head back, yowling its displeasure at them. Fern sees her opening, gray paws pushing toward the big cat as she opens her mouth wide. Teeth close around the tiger’s throat, sinking deep into the soft flesh and filling her mouth with warm blood. The cat releases a strangled cry, uncertain how the fight’s momentum changed against him so quickly. It bucks, trying to dislodge either the wolf on his back or the wolf at his throat.

Fern releases her hold when it swings a massive paw toward her head, dropping to the ground to roll away from lethal paws that try to find her. When she is safe, the gray girl springs back up to her paws and scurries out of the cat’s range of attack. Aqua eyes search for Serenity, questioning, with a raise of her brow, what Serenity wants to do. Do they try to kill or drive away?
