The long cat had the advantage of agility and speed over his burly strength. Pushing desperately against the tree, slamming his body against it in hopes shaking the feline from his back. His sharp canine teeth dun harder into the cat, tugging at it and causing it’s long talons to dig in deeper, drawing blood. He needed the cat off his back now or the wounds would take a very long time to heal. A final struggle and an extra set of jaws join his, their combined strength bringing the cat tumbling forward much to the midnight warrior’s relief.
Closing his golden eyes Jazper attempted to regain his balance and focus, the fast paced strikes mixed with the blood soaking into his fur making him slightly dizzy. His upper lip was permanently drawn back in an intimidating snarl, his teeth agape and ready to bite as his eyes began to focus once more. As the world around him became clearer he could see that Alyssum’s wound was bleeding out substantially and the cougar had turned on her, yowls edging on the fae.
Taking hold of the opportunity he used up a final bout of energy, launching himself with his back feet to push his body on top of the feline. Crashing to the ground his jaws began to tear, digging into hits neck and pinning the beast down with pure mass. In one final motion Jazper twisted its neck sharply, cracking the bone. As the cat fell limp in his jaws the Knight dropped its head to the ground. Golden eyes rose from the ground, his large body panting and the ferocity still clear in his eyes, his blood running hot from the battle, but as his eyes met Aly’s greens he instantly calmed.
Emotion swept over him, a wave of concern and unspoken love that he had yet to admit to himself. What would he have done if he had failed, if the cougar had gotten to the huntress before he had arrived? Pushed the thoughts from his mind and allowing his body to be driven by the new relief he rushed forward. Stopping inches away from her he wrapped a large paw around the upper half of her legs, he head pushing affectionately against her stomach. He didn’t know what to say, the sense of relief seeming to paralyze his tongue.
