Crimson snow

?? ? Boreom forced through Awaken's ?mind. Even through all the confusion. He growled jumping up onto a nearby ?boulder then jumping back down into the snow. He was paying no attention to were he was headed and almost walked right into a bears den. He stopped himself seconds before and went to walk the other direction when a loud roar errupted from the cave/hole in the ground. A big brown mass of angry bear came barreling out at Awaken with her teeth showing. Her cubs in the den below.?

?? ?Awaken ducked out of the way and barked at the bear who was now standing about ten feet away from him. Awaken's ebony fur stood off his skin and his tail fully erect in warning. He looked for a way around the bear but the only option was to fight. Awaken's briliant mind started running through scenarios, deleteing hundreds and keeping only two as logical.?

Option 1: attack head on and risk his vitals.
Option 2: attack from the side and risk a shot to the ribs.?

?? ?Another roar interuppted his thought as the she-bear charged. He lept over the bears head, placeing a paw on its forehead and biteing into its back, right behind the shoulderblades then jumping off as the bear turned around. ?Awaken considered running but the bear was too close and hed mostlikely be caught. ?The bear stood swatting her paws out at awaken, revealing its vitals. Awaken considered attacking but if the bear came down on him, it would be all over. What he needed was another wolf. He howled a loud, sharp cry for anyone in the area who might hear.
