Breaking and Entering

Saracyn wheezed as he tried to reinflate his aching lungs. A quick check of himself found nothing seemed to be broken, but there was no doubt he'd be bruised something fierce come tomorrow. Every breath hurt his chest and his head was spinning, but the death blow from the bear's claws never came. Glancing up, dizzy blue eyes found his violet sister making absolute mincemeat of the confused and startled bear. Gods damn, she was ferocious when she was in a state like this! For a moment, Saracyn just watched his sister go, loving seeing Avacyn in rare form as she gored and tore up the bellowing bear. Ah, but he couldn't let her have all the fun now!

Getting back to his paws and shaking out the cobwebs from his head, Saracyn put himself back in the fight. He trudged over to the collapsing bear, muscles shifting and rippling beneath his coat while he drew down on the ursine. The kodiak huffed and roared as it gained its second wind, turning about as best it could to reach long claws out to swipe at the wolf attacking its legs. Except it never made contact. Saracyn intercepted the paw with his jaws latching around the bear's wrist, biting down hard until his teeth hit bone, and then yanking back hard. His serrated fangs cut through muscle and sinew, breaking the bear's wrist with a bloody snap. The bear roared in pain. Saracyn just rolled his eyes. "Oh, go the fuck back to sleep," he muttered and extended his smooth-edged blade, plunging it through the bear's eye with a thrust of his paw. The bear's body shuddered, then went limp with its final breath leaving its body. Saracyn pulled his dagger back, then turned to look Avacyn over, eyes shining with admiration and delight. "Damn, Ava, I've never seen you get like that before," he chuckled, coughing a couple of times when his aching lungs protested. "You okay, sis?"
