Keep Your Heartbeat Suspended

Batari saw the attack coming, the pain in her hind paw was infuriating. A red haze was beginning to creep into her mind and the large savage wolf knew that if this battle did not end soon she would go into a frenzy, attempting to kill this wolf until she succeeded or died trying. She had not planned on dieing today, and she did not wish to risk being pursued by a pack of wolves for killing this one.
As the wolf approached to attempt to bite her neck, Batari sprung up and napped her jaws barking wildly and furiously. "NO MORE! WE ARE DONE!" to halt the attack. She then lowered herself, laying down completely, her belly against the ground. This was as submissive a posture as Batari ever took. She looked more like a lizard, resting on the ground, than a wolf showing submission; but perhaps the message was still clear.
"Batari has lost!" she growled, the words tasting like vomit in her mouth. "Batari is done. More blood spilled against Batari would be a waste. If you fight Batari more, one of us will die, and the killer will be broken. A broken wolf is a dead wolf soon. Batari has seen how this preywolf fights. It is not prey today. Batari has learned. Batari is done. Smallwolf wins."
Batari's simple savage speech served as her admittance of defeat, and conceding to the wolf that it knew better than she, today, how to fight another wolf. Batari wondered if it would still try to attack her, or if it would leave her to lick her wounds.
