hero time? ugh.

Crunch!

The tiger struggled against his jaws, but Tora bit down hard. Too hard. It wasn't enough that the beast was trying to survive. He could not fault it for that. But to carry off a child so brazenly - off pack lands to boot! - was enough for him to get pissed off. If he chased it off, the tiger would just come back when he wasn't there. It wouldn't learn the lesson intended. Don't fuck with pack children. There was always someone around to get mad about that.

Now that it lay dead, his cheeks thoroughly scratched to shit, Tora let go. He panted, feeling dizzy, and began to sit down. He stumbled awkwardly to all fours instead, feeling the red of his anger fade. It was replaced with pain and hurt. He was close to the border of the pack, but not over it. His neck slumped as he tried to catch his breath. Blood poured from his wounds indiscriminately. I'm alive he thinks alive... alive... The tiger was dead, suffocated by his jaws. He was okay. The kid was okay, too, surely?

He barely heard rushing paw steps.
