OOC Mar 2 claws across left shoulder, claw across muzzle and nose, broken ribs, scruff torn up, left hind leg broken


She really should have been paying closer attention to things. Finding a big beautiful moose kill had been too much temptation for the lithe female however. Ignoring the fact that it clearly was a cougar's kill she dug in, enjoying her meal. The flesh ripped off splendidly, leaving her to lean back with enjoyment. She didn't smell anyone near, and soon enough the scent of blood blocked that off. She was taken completely by surprise when something large hit her in the side.


Yelping with pain Terra felt a twinge from where her chest had been slammed into previously. A tiny creature, she looked up with her fangs bared to face a very large, very angry cougar. It charged forward with a snarl. Terra did her best to dodge it, only to be caught in the shoulder. Claws slashed across her, and she found herself desperately wishing Kostya was there. He had helped her defeat the last cougar who had decided that she would make a nice snack. He was off exploring somewhere though, leaving her alone with a creature she stood no chance of defeating on her own.


She leaped for the undergrowth, only to find the cougar blocking her path. It wouldn't let her escape. Meeting it's eyes Terra shivered, noting the intelligence inside it. Terra didn't care for fighting with something that had the potential to outsmart her. With no other choice she snapped at the cougar's paw. She drew blood, but it hit her across the face, sending her back again. Struggling to stand before it reached her Terra darted over to the moose's corpse, using it as cover. The large beast roared at her, batting a paw towards her.


Understanding the tactic this time Terra darted underneath the creature, nipping at it's delicate stomach. Her teeth tore through, but at a high price. The cougar let itself go, trapping her underneath it. The thick spread of blood saturated her fur, and it was difficult to tell whose wounds it was. The cougar twisted, dragging her out before it. Like a rabbit in it's jaws Terra was shaken around. She wouldn't die this way. She refused to do that. Terra twisted her head around, as painful as it was, and bit the cougar's face. She was dropped, and quickly tried to scramble away.


The cougar, half blinded with blood, grabbed her leg. Terra heard the bone break, snapped under it's jaws. The pain wouldn't come until later, when the need for survival was over and the adrenaline had shut off. For now all she felt was the inability to put weight on her leg. Dragging it behind her Terra spun around. She tore at the cougar's stomach again, a battle to the death. Roaring the cougar clawed her side open and retreated, deciding it was too much trouble to finish off someone who would clearly die anyways.


Panting Terra looked around. She couldn't stay where she was. There was too much blood. All kinds of predators would come, and one of them was sure to finish what the cougar had started. Limping through the undergrowth Terra moved blindly, unable to smell anything other than the stench of her own blood. She was unaware when she crossed the border, only able to keep moving until she found a small space she could squeeze into. Fit underneath Terra sighed. She licked at her wounds wearily, trying to clean it, to stop the bleeding. Everything hurt. The adrenaline faded, leaving her with nothing but pain, and the certainty that unless something changed, she was going to die.
