homecoming

I know you're upset... Upset didn't even come close. Eyes flashed and jaws parted, she had become a wild and untethered thing, using her size and her rage to force this fight outside. The stairs disappeared beneath their paws and somehow, they didn't seem to miss a step.

Not pausing to allow him any opportunity to gain space or adjust his stance, her head swung to drive antlers into ribs, feline paws swiping wildly, swinging at legs and dark fur, whatever was in the way. Snarls and snaps filled the air, perhaps even tufts of fur were flying among the saliva, like a feral street cat fight. It was far from precise, and her breath was beginning to come in ragged pants. She was far from peak condition. "You fuckin' left me..." It was almost a sob.
