"Speech!"
He screamed.

The jaguar had ambushed them a few minutes ago, but Pyxis was calm as usual until the cat got the upper hand on his knight. He'd never been more scared in his life until the man fell, only to be swiftly killed by the large cat the next second. It wasn't but another second later that the cat was advancing on him, hissing and growling as it backed him into a tree. The cat suddenly lashed out and he felt the claws tearing across his face as the warmth of liquid and a pain far worse than he'd ever felt before surged through him.  

Red stained his vision as he bolted, running as he blinked wildly to try and clear his vision. He could hear the jaguar following after him, clearly agitated the smaller and quicker wolf had slipped passed. Pyxis was terrified, uncertain of what to do until he saw a fallen log. He crammed himself into the hollowed out log, hoping it would be enough to protect him from the cat. Thankfully he was small or he wouldn't be able to fit in the old tree, but that wasn't all that he had to worry about. A loud creaking sound above him however made him whimper as the jaguar crept around on top the log, scratching at it and trying to get inside as it was clearly too big to follow him inside the ends.
