TOO SICK TO PRAY }solstice challenge

The women collided, Meinx’s shift to the right [Aern's left] caused Aern’s left shoulder to collide with the front of Meinx’s left shoulder as Meinx threw it forward.  Aerndis hissed in pain as moderate bruising blossomed across the front of her own left shoulder from the collision. Meinx’s rightward movement also caused Aern’s jaws to miss and instead snip into the flesh in the center of Meinx’s left cheek and fail to get any sort of grip.  At the same time as her jaws snipped into flesh Aern's left forepaw came slamming down to earth, just catching the left part of Meinx’s left forepaw.  The instant her paw hit the ground Aerndis redistributed her weight and bent all four legs dramatically, almost as if she was going to bring her belly to the ground, her weight shifted mostly to her back legs and right foreleg as she leaned slightly to the right, trying to avoid her opponents hungry jaws.

As she moved sharply downwards Meinx's upper fangs cut into the flesh an inch above Aern's left eye, leaving moderate cuts two inches long and a quarter inch deep. Meinx's bottom fangs landed an inch above the corner of her left-sided jaw and sliced straight upwards two inches, also a quarter inch deep.  Aern felt Meinx's left forepaw wrap behind the wrist of her left foreleg as she swiped the paw out from under the Solstice femme.  Thankfully, with Aern's weight shifted to her right side she did not fall.

Backlegs spread wider, Aern's tail streamed out stiff behind her for balance as her weight shifted to her back legs.  With a thrust Aerndís attempted to lift her upper body and curve it slightly to her own left.  Her jaws shot upward as her head tilted to her right, aiming to latch around Meinx's throat.  Her upper canines seeking to land just below the corner of Meinx's left-sided jaw, Aern's lower canings seeking to land just below the corner of Meinx's right-sided jaw.  Aerndís sought to obtain a grip to crush the other woman's windpipe or at the least get her in a strangle hold and choke her out. 

As she launched up and forward, her forelimbs lifted, her right forelimb seeking to drape over the back (dorsal side) of Meinx's neck right across the middle, both for stability and to help pull the other woman down into Aern's hungry jaws.  Her left forelimb lifted wildly as she attempted to slam her claws into Meinx's right eye, hoping to puncture the sensitive tissue and cause blindness.

All the while she worked to keep her defenses in place.  Ears remained pinned to her head and eyes narrowed.  Her back limbs coiled and her tail flagged out behind her, aligning with her spine for balance.  Weight spread evenly on her back limbs.  Back toes spread wide, the claws digging into earth.  Her shoulders rolled forward, abdomen tightening to help with her balance.  Hackles remained raised, her lips pulling back from teeth from open maw with a snarl.  It was time to end this.
