Run, Forest... Oh Shit! RUN!

When Bowen went off for a bit of alone time, she hadn't expected to be saving someone's life, let alone the life of her brother's girlfriend. A call for help rang through the stony landscape and the russet and cream woman wasted no time in answering that call. Bowen was small, but she was very speedy and made short time of locating the wolf that required aid. Emerald eyes saw the running form of Fern before shifting to see what was giving chase. A cheetah? Here? It was incredibly strange, but she believed what her eyes were seeing.

Inhaling deeply, Bowen let out her air long and slow, steeling herself for what was to come. The woman planted her hind paws against one of the stones and, as Fern rushed past her, Bowen rocketed forward, colliding hard with the oncoming feline. The cat screeched as it thudded to the ground, the small wolf flying along with it as they rolled. Bo pushed off of the cat, getting as much distance between herself and its claws as she could manage. The collision didn't take too much strength out of her, which was a good thing. She was going to need to be able to run.

As Bowen rose, she noted several other felines coming in hot as though they would avenge their fallen comrade. A comrade who was already back on its feet and rushing to regroup with its family. Taking the opportunity to put distance between herself and the cats, Bowen rushed after Fern, catching up with the larger woman and urging her on. "There are a lot of them. We need to get back home, fast!"

The pair of wolves ran as fast as their legs would carry them, but they were no match for the cheetahs. The long, lean cats were speed on legs and they could run circles around the women, which they began to do. Some were toying with the wolves, but others were intent on making a kill. "Try to stick together!" Bowen called out, panting hard at the sheer exertion of their flight. She hoped that someone else had heard the call. Three against seven cheetah's would still be a long shot. Their only hope was getting back to the castle. Hopefully in one piece.
