my mama says that alligators are ornery...

Calliope pedals backward in the shallow water and sand as Tarnish goes for the alligator's tail. The swinging motion of the large beast twirling around to chase her brother causes her own resounding scream to echo across the beach. Watching in slight horror as her brother scrambles up a tree and the reptile crashes back into the water, she's unsure what to do. Now that she is the only wolf on the ground, the gator turns its attention back to her. Letting out a growl, Cal takes a moment to glare at her brother.

"Well how ya gonna be of any help up there?!" She screeches as she pedals back a few more feet to avoid the snapping jaw of the predator. Her heart rate is racing, pounding in her chest, feeling as if its starting to get hard to breathe. Surely they would be able to scare it away! Right? Right?! Cal sucks in a breath, trying to calm herself before she begins to bark at the gator. Her own teeth gnashing in its direction as she kicks sand back at its face. The gator steps back, and shakes its face to rid of the sand. "Jump on it Tar! We gotta scare it off!" Cal screams at her brother knowing full well they aren't big or strong enough to kill this thing.
