An Unwelcome Dinner Guest

Birna hissed once more at the bear, a low growl rumbling up from her throat but it didn't seem to dissuade the larger predator. At that moment a large, horned wolf appeared and snapped at the haunches of the bear. Unwilling to deal with an assault from too directions the bear slid down to the ground with a thud and turned to go after the bear. Birna hesitated for a moment but could not deny the wolf's help was well-timed and she would be willing to share part of her meal for the help. Birna leapt down and with the bear distracted for now by the wolf she bounded forward, her claws lancing out and striking the bear's rear. It turned promptly and then dove for her. She leapt swiftly out of the way, using her tail to help her balance as she twisted back and forth to stay out of reach of the bear's jaws.
