Angry Bear And A New Face

The bear did indeed turn to face him. He was left with a brief moment of oh shit! before the wolf he had rescued takes the opening. As he backed away from the bear - facing towards it - he would see her leap. She managed to reach its face, and tore a chunk from its cheek. An impressive attack, and he found himself cheering her on quietly under his breath. Tensing as its claws turned towards this wolf, but she managed to release her hold and back away before they found their mark.

Now with the bear's attention on the wolf that had done it the most damage, Merc came charging in again. This time he aimed for its leg, and bit down as hard as he was physically capable. He heard a crunch and hoped it was bone as he released his grip and jumped back. It was so close this time, he felt the disturbance in the air of its strike, and knew he was luckily its meaty paw hadn’t found its mark.
