One Kitty, Two Kitty, Red Kitty, Dead Kitty

The cheetah is still growing and hardly built for battle but it's still larger than the wolf pup.  It looks down at the boy then up at the cougars warily.  Really, the smartest thing for Swift would be to run if the cougars came at him but he bristles up and shows off his teeth, letting the cougars know there would at least be a fight if they went at him.

Chade had used the distraction well, to get so that the cougar's backsides were both to him.  Best to finish off the one he decided.  He slammed into it, bit into the back leg, and jerked, tearing open the leg and ripping into an artery so the blood was flowing out fast.  The cougar was trying to run away but it wasn’t getting anywhere fast.  

Chade spun his attention onto the last cougar who had paused to eye his injured friend retreating.  Cougar and Chade snarled at each other, a staredown.
