It's out there - somewhere

Chade scrambled back only to find Manea had stopped the cat before it could have reached him anyway.  The blue boy heard the sound of bone crack shocked at how easily Manea made it seem.  When the cat’s leg was free of her teeth the blood quickly coating about the wound was obvious as was the limp it had picked up.  That would slow it down!

Chade lunged forward, this time grabbing a back leg, shifting his weight backward, squeezing his eyes as he mustered out all the force he could to the leg.  Rapt eyes watched as if in slow motion the tiger spun towards him once more.  Chade let go to jump away again.  It wasn’t as hard to dodge this time though, the cat now had two injured legs while Manea in Chade were both in fine shape for lunging and dodging.  Confidence building Chade snarled at the cat, daring the thing to come at him.  

Stupid cat.  It didn’t have a chance.  Manea was gonna ill it and Chade was getting to do his part also!  The tiger tried to lunge for him but its front leg threw its balance off.  Chade’s eyes lit up as the realization of just how big the advantage grew.  Chade started forward but hesitated when the tiger swiped at him with the injured paw as more of a threat than an attack.
