Backdated to the night of Nov. 6th. Set in the Damp woods.
Yiska had been putting the finishing touches on her den. She was pleased with it and the warmth it provided from the cold of the oncoming winter. She looked down at her handy work with a pleasing smirk. "Perfect.....Now all I need is some fur." She looked around, wondering where there would be good game trails around this area. Shrugging, she shifted into her Optime form and headed east. The air was damp from the latest storm and the earth was muddy beneath her paws.
She squished her way down a slope and into a narrow valley, sensing the game near by. Staying near the trees she worked her way down towards the herd of deer. The sun was late in the sky and the woman was in perfect camoflouge for hunting the skittish herbavours. Quietly as she could, she squished her way as close as she could to the deer, freezing when their large ears perked up to try and hear her. Her yellows eyes skimmed the herd as she slowly braided her long hair, keeping it out of the way for when she delivered the deathly bite to the animal's neck. Finally her golden gaze rested on a larger male. She worked through her mind how she would have to bring the buck down without doing much damage to his thick pelt.
Yiska was just about to charge the large male when she lost her foot holds and went sliding down the slick slope. The woman cursed when she began to roll, causing the startled deer to take off, and her to end up a muddy heep at the bottom of the hill. Coming slowly to her senses, she groaned at her aching body. The female fought to gain footing in the mud but when she did she realized all too soon that she was in deeper trouble then she thought. The stench of the beast hit her only a moment before the bear was charging her.
Her first instinct was to fight, but she knew better and tried to run back up the muddy slope. However, she only ended up sliding back down. The large beast took it's first swipe and missed her rump only by a few inches. This caused the wolf to slip down right underneath the bear. Not exactly the best place in the world, but Yiska used it to her advantage to strike the bear's stomach with her long claws. She got a few good hits in before the beast stood to its full height, looking down at her with raging eyes. The wolfess rolled out the way just in time before the crushed her with its angry stomp, and was able to put a few feet between her and the beast.
She had only moments to determine that there was no easy way out before the large creature turned and set its gaze on her again. Realizing she was trapped, she had no other choice but to fight for her life. The big black thing looked at her with rage in its eyes and she returned the look with a snarl. "Well? Come one then!" She shouted. The bear charged her and she leaped up onto its back, fighting to get a good grip on its thick neck. However, the bear stood and lost balace, causing the fighting pair to fall backwards. Yiska was under the full force of the large beast falling on her. Her breath was knocked out of her and it took her longer to recover then the animal. As she fought to gain breath and footing, the bear was able to land a good swipe. Raking its claws across her lower ribs and stomach. Yiska didn't have time nor the air to scream before she was slamed into a tree. Ridding her of her conciousness.

[html] OOC I looked up the height of a black bear at the shoulders on all fours (apparently 3-4 feet) and Jazper is SLIGHTLY bigger. There's a ref on my profile if you want to know what Jazper looks like in his Seuci form  (4"6) / +300
The visit in Anathema had been an interesting one. Although Jazper was glad to see Naniko happy and healthy he was concerned for her still. The male, Alaki, had seemed a little off and it worried the new leader. She shouldn’t be surrounding herself with unstable wolves, that was the last thing she needed. Still, she had accepted the dagger readily marking the start of a friendship between the packs. Of course he was more than interested now in finding out about the other characters of Naniko’s pack, were they all like Alaki? He would be sure to send a scout soon after he returned home.
Sighing at the thought of the journey ahead he took comfort in the fact that there was a comfy bed waiting for him. A shouting female voice caught his attention, stopping his movement the halfling warrior perked his ears up to listen. At first he didn’t hear anything but then a all to familiar ‘hnng’ reached his ears, there was a bear. Without thinking the warrior dashed in the direction of the female he had heard, there was nothing worse then running into a bear.
Stumbling, and almost falling, Jazper came upon the slope that the timber wolf had slid down. He looked down just in time to see the girl hit a tree, much like he had. Instinct took over the Knight as he released a load snarl, slid down the slope and used the momentum to charge at the bear. The beast slowly turned to his new opponent, releasing his own roar. The black bear stood, on all fours, slightly shorter at the shoulder than the coal male. Jumping into the air Jazper grabbed hold of the bear’s fur with his teeth. The bear, already wounded, frantically began to shake. Much to the warrior’s dismay his grip faltered and he was flung to the ground.
Rolling back onto his paws Jazper hesitantly, without removing his gaze, made his way in front of the unconscious female, blocking her from the bear’s sight. Now the two beasts stared each other down, one wounded twice, and the other sore from hitting the hard ground. Clearly the black bear was worse for wear as it panted heavily and blood had started to spread on it’s fur. Apparently this girl had held her own for a while.

Lol yay help has arrived. Sorry for leavin you alone with the bear lol Yisk is in ick shape.
Cold air seeped into the woman's lungs, and stung her injury, making her slolwy wake up. She moved alittle, showing small signs of life before her ear caught on the action. I should be bear lunch by now.....but I'm not. Confused she opened her eyes seeing the scene unfold before her. A male had come to her rescue. Amazed, she tried to move and felt the burning pain in her body. Groaning she looked down and saw the bloody mess that her stomach had become. "....Uh......" Stunned she tried to move again and found herself hurting again. Finally she managed to manuver out of her shredded shirt.
Thinking quickly she moved what was left of her shirt to her stomach, wrapping the cloth around her and screaming when she tightened it. Afterwards she felt the adrenaline from shock kick in and she was able to fight herself up. Using the tree as a brace she stood and watched the large male take on the bear. She tried to move to help him but soon realized she was in no shape, because she collapsed on the hard ground again. She hoped the male could hold his own.....Otherwise they were both going to die and she would hate herself forever.
Yiska tried again to move and found it easier than the first time. She managed to get up on her hands and knees before her vision blurred. She couldn't see what was happening, she had fallen...again, and she couldn't move, and all because the bear got one lucky shot. The woman was furious with herself, she tried to do all she could to asist the male but found herslf just fighting to breath. Coughing she tried to curse, finding her voice shot from screaming. Even if she had been able to talk, her now shaking body wouldn't have allowed her to say much. Yiska ferverntly hoped that her help could save her. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on her shallow, pain-inducing breathing.

The bear and Jazper were one of a kind, black balls of muscle and energy. They matched each other in mass, the only difference being the wolf’s perked ears and erect tail. He had taken down a bear before, though he had later found out the beast was a friendly one. This black bear clearly was not of the friendly nature and the warrior was not one to leave a young lady to her fate. A shuffle of movement behind him caused the wolf to glance back, just in time to see the girl collapsed back down to the ground With an aggressive growl he ordered, Stay down. You’re just going to make it worse. The angry voice was not one even he was use to but he was in the middle of fighting a bear and this women was not helping him by making her injuries worse.
Without another thought the male charged the bear a fierce snarl escaping his jaws. The bear showed his teeth but began to back up as the wolf slowed a few feet in front of him. It was just the give that the Knight needed. Seeing the Bear back off slightly Jazper continued his elaborate display of dominance. Tail stuck up in the air, fur and chest puffed out, teeth wet with blood and saliva. With one last snap at the bear’s face the beast turned with a squeak, quickly running from the fierce warrior.
As soon as the bear was out of sight Jazper’s ears and tail dropped, his once rather scary posture becoming gentler as he urgently began to shift. With hand and two legs he hurried over to kneel beside the girl. It’s going to be okay, I’m going to get you help. Looking around he began to howl, calling for a medic; there was no time to waste. As carefully as he could the leader pulled the young lady into his arms and lifted her into the air. He would have to start moving if he were to find a medic quickly. Raising his head as he walked he called, someone had to be close by.
