What Are You Laughing At?!

The hyenas laugh, cry, and make an extreme ruckus as the three siblings fight back; their efforts wounding the creatures and even driving one off. Haydée spares a glance to Dorian as she fends off one of the two predators that is harassing Corbin, noting with relief that has managed to send his predator creatures packing. However, she is not given an opportunity to dwell on that victory for long as the hyena she has been holding at bay suddenly lunges in to try and grab ahold of her scruff. Attention snaps back to the stupid beast as it moves, her own muscles shifting as she dodges away.

Luckily, the hyena does not find any part of her as the small woman is able to use her slighter frame and speed to her advantage. Without hesitating, she strikes back, the dagger in her maw slicing through fat and muscle as easily as a hot knife through butter, as it bites deeply into the beast’s neck. Dancing backward, she watches as it pumps its mouth, no sounds leaving it maw but instead, coming out of the new hole where its throat had been. Blood pumps, sending out huge arterial sprays while the air from its throat causes the blood around the windpipe to bubble and froth.

It is a gruesome sight but the hyena is dead before its body realizes it and Haydée turns away as it sags down to the earth to heave its last breath. Darting in toward the limping creature that circles her brother, the young Leader attempts to rush in and distract the beast so that brother can escape. Emerald eyes dart over to Corbin, silently trying to assess the damage in the space of just a few heartbeats as she works to drive of the last of these stupid hyneas.
