too much? Tell me if you want anything changed

As Shiloh burst though the trees, Katelyn right behind her she saw Saxif turn just as the bear took a swipe at her. It had gotten her hard on the shoulder and down the side, her body flying though the air as she landed under a fir tree with a sickening thump. She would have gone over to Saxif but the bear was advancing on the wounded female and with a howl that echoed in the trees around them Shiloh ran at the bear, going for its neck as it went for Saxif. She missed the first time and the bear swung one of it mighty paws at her , swiping her slightly as she let go and guarded her mate. She went back at the bear as it stood on its hind legs and roared down at her. She went for its legs determined to take it down. She tore into its right hind leg, biting though muscle and fat before hearing a wet snap as she broke the bears leg.

It stumbled a little before coming down on top of Shiloh, almost crushing her under it. She managed to escape from under the bear as Jagermeister came bursting though the clearing, rearing up and bringing his hooves down on the bears head. Katelyn joined in to the fray as she kicked the bear in the side. Shiloh snarled at the horses, telling them to back off and help her mate, protect her mate as she clamped down on the beasts throat again, this time her jaws sinking in deeply, cutting thought the fat and crushing its windpipe. The bear gave out a strangled cry as its lifes blood covered Shiloh's grey pelt. She didn't let go till she felt it stop moving and even then she took the time to rip out its wind pipe before going over to Saxif. She could feel her own wounds throb and ache but as Saxif lay unconscious on the ground in front of her, her blood covering the ground Shiloh's panic set in. She shifted from her secui form she had fought the bear in and changed to her optime, not caring if she was covered in bear blood. She called Katelyn over, who was still pounding the bear to a pulp to come and help. Her grey fur was also covered in blood but Shiloh had more pressing matters at the moment.

Saxif had landed on her stomach, her normally golden fur shiny with her blood. Shiloh normally couldn't support her weight but in her panic and worry she was able to lift Saxif off the ground. Katelyn had kneeled down so Shiloh could put Saxif on her back. After making sure Saxif wouldn't slide off she jumped on Katelyn and told her to rush to the camp site. She was sure Jager would make sure the bear was completely gone, as she had seen his anger as he attacked it to help her. Katelyn had been true to her speed and they had arrived back to the camp sight. In her panic Shiloh was able to lift Saxif off Katelyn and place her on her bed roll. She then set to work cleaning out her wounds with the water in her water bag. Most of the wounds were shallow enough not to tear though too much muscle but Saxif would need stitches and Shiloh had yet to stop the bleeding. She remember the skullcap she had found earlier and started making a paste, applying the juice and the paste to Saxifs shoulder, the deepest of the claw marks towards her shoulder blade. When she heard Saxif whine softly in her sleep some of her panic eased some but it wasn't until night did Shiloh rest, her mate stitched and healing and breathing properly. She curled up next to her in her secui form and was out faster then she thought she would be with one thought running though her head. Please... don't take the only person who loves be away from me... She is my life... I love her... she thought falling into a fitful sleep.
