There was no way I would die a painful death like being shredded into pieces and eaten by a cougar, so I made up my mind to jump down from the tree and run off instead, even if my head would fall off in the process.
How cruel the animal was to keep coming closer, while shining its golden eyes at me as his prey that I was. Then came the stomping from below, and I looked down to see a mighty alpha wolf growling back at the cougar above me.
Was I just in the midst of two different enemies? I didn't think of who the alpha could be, and just leaped from the tree, hoping to find myself lying with my waist aching on the floor. Instead, I felt my body on furs, and then came the wolf taking off on its heel.
Its paw slammed the ground, it ran so faster than I ever imagined and I held it tighter.
