Easy pickings

The bear was suddenly swaying, and then gravity was pulling them both down. He gripped on tight, too high up to safely jump clear of it. He thought of Delphi, trapped beneath the body of the cat, and hoped the same wasn’t about to happen to him. It landed hard, but cushioned his fall. He was just starting to release his grip on its head, when suddenly an axe was whooshing by him. His fur stood on end in shock, and then the head - now removed from the body, began to roll with the weight of him on top of it.

He finally jumped off its head, a splatter of blood from the axe’s last strike sinking into his white coat. But they had won! He walked up to the head and gave it a kick, before looking up at the other wolf. “I dibs the head” He told them, glancing from wolf to axe, and wondering if he would have to fight for it.
