Shocking

Avacyn took a few slow, measured steps back as she lowered her head with her teeth bared at this large cat that had decided to intrude on her day, her hackles bristled and marking glimmering bright from the rush of adrenaline making her heart beat fast in her chest. She had tangled with tigers often enough that she knew how to handle herself around them, though she wasn't usually facing them on her own. She was close enough to the pack that she could have called for help, but she was still hopeful that she could chase the cat off instead of having to really fight–well, that was until a small flash of dark fur appeared from over top the pillar of rock she had previously been laying on. Her dark gaze widened with surprise as she watched a much smaller woman than herself jumped on top of the tiger she was facing off with, grappling onto its scruff and riding the now flailing and spinning feline like an angry bull.

Ava blinked with surprise, dumbfounded by the eccentric and bold move, but she quickly shook off that initial shock so that she could jump in and help her unexpected fighting partner. She shifted from paw to paw, waiting for their opponent to turn away from her, and as soon as the tiger's tail was facing her she launched herself froward. Her large, similarly feline paws latched onto each side of the tiger's hips, her curved, sharp claws sinking deep to stop the tiger's spinning in its tracks and she reached forward with open jaws to bite down hard around the cat's spine at it's lower back. The crushing bite brought her fangs down to the bone as the tiger's roaring yowls filled her ears, but before she could do any permanent damage the tiger surged forward, pulling her off of her back paws and forcing her to let go before she got dragged along by the large cat. She dropped back to the ground and scrambled to right herself, licking the blood from her lips as she glanced around to find the stranger who had jumped into the fight and make sure she was still alright.
