Tiger on my tail

Lia startled in surprise - not so much at the pup that trotted towards her, but the bold statement from one so young and small. Having spent her childhood in fear, she couldn’t comprehend one so brash and unafraid. She also realised with no small measure of worry, that even if she didn’t agree, he would likely take it on alone.

No pups would be dying under her watch. “Deal.” She said, hoping she wasn’t doing the wrong thing. No time to reconsider, the tiger had decided the red wolf would be an easy meal. She almost sensed the moment it sprung, and she leaped at the tiger. Lowering her antlers, she tried to catch its forward momentum on the points of her main defence.
