A rock and a hard place

She watched Ultyr as he took notice of her interest in the goats. She perked her ears, watching him pick a target. He let the billy and and the kid slip past them and she tilted her head from the bush she was hidden inside. What was he waiting for? Did he know something she didn't? Then the wind shifted and the element of surprise was taken from him. What would of been an easy kill becoming now a chase. He exploded and she shifted her weight, body priming for an order for him.

The kick from her to his nose had her tensing. Now? She tensed up and lowered herself more. She was ready this time for the order, unlike on the island when she hadn't known he expected her to try to help hunt. She was turning back and he was on her heels. Lai was zoned in. The other goats had already run northward, out of sight out of mind. Their meal would have to be her, and Lai was determined to not fuck this up.

"Delay her!" His order had her darting forward, ready this time for the order. She launched into action, running right for the goat. The doe turned right as Lai lunged, Lai's teeth landing on her horns and the entire weight of Lai now dangling from the horn, sending her crashing and tumbling to the ground bellowing her fear, a tumble over Lai had her clenching her teeth onto that horn for dear life, regardless of the bruising she just received. She'd worked with goats before and knew those horns were the best way to gain control of the goat. She accidentally released the horn though as the goat tumbled over her a second time, jumping back up as fast as she could and shaking her head as her sides heaved. The doe landed a few feet away and was flailing. Had she broken something in her panic?
