Selene dug her sharp feline claws into the earth as she saw him suddenly surge forward. Her ears pinned against her head that became level with her shoulders. She didn't make it to coiling her legs to spring away from him when he bashed into her chest full force. She had naively thought he would hold back like he usually did when they had their spars and she could stop him with her body. How wrong she was.
She was launched backward! She flailed through the air as she landed in the stream behind her. She sputtered and gasped from being winded. Her ears rang from the surprise and struggled to breathe. She had no idea how much he had been holding himself back all this time.
Her legs shook as she finally caught her breath and she flung a visceral enraged glance.
"Hh--HOW--- How could you?" She called at him, wheezing and picking herself up from the water. She surged toward him, stopped a foot away from him, and snarled, "We're not supposed to use our full strength on family! Why can't you do anything right? What's so hard?" The pain had made the pressure in her eyes spill over into tears. She already had the reputation of being a crybaby! Why did she have to cry about everything!? FINE if he can use his full strength then she can too! She slunk her body close to the ground, dug her claws into the dirt, and coiled her legs. With her supremely agile paws and sharp claws she attempted to launch herself straight at his face. She opened her jaws to attempt to bite down on his cheek and opened her forelegs wide aiming to wrap both of her front paws around his neck and sink her unsheathed claws into both sides of his neck.
