[OneRowdyNight]

As Callista returned to her grazing, she heard and smelled the large cat. Her ears pircked and her eyes widened. She followed after Thunder, afraid for Crimson, as well as the stallion.

Crimson reared and stomped at the cat as it came closer. It was trying to corner her in a small rock formation on the hill. She side-steped and then stumbled slightly. The cat crept closer. Crimson looked wildly down at it, her body tence. She sreared again and let out a loud, frightened neigh. The cat thrashed its claws at her. She stumbled back then half-reared. Her butt touched against the rock. She snorted at the cat and then tried to charge it only getting her shoulder clawed and then jerking back to her last positon.

Callista lunged forward, grabbing a bit of the cat's skin between her teeth. She pulled back fiercely and dug her hooves in, feeling the soil of the hill beneath her.

Thunder whinnied "No!" He lunged for the cat, trying to rear on it.

(Accepted!)

Nira stood back and watched as the horses attacked the mountain lion. She trotted close to Calista.
"Calista get back! You're endangering your foal by fighting!" she said, "Let Thunder take care of it!"
She cared a lot for the other mares in the herd, especially the pregnant ones. She had a soft spot for foals and their mothers and she was very protective of both.

[*~*CanisLupus*~*]

Crimson took her chance and darted away. She side-steped then she charged forward and pinned the cat down. She pulled it away from Callista and grabbed onto it. She held its neck in her teeth and then she jerked her head back and reared. She droped the cat then stoped on one of its legs.

Callista grudgingly released the feline, quickly backing up to allow Thunder to replace her. She watched closely, not liking not fighting. She nodded at Nira and turned back to the small battle taking place.

"They'll be ok," Nira said, trying to put the worried mare at ease, "Mountain lions show up all the time. We rarely loose full grown horses to them."

[Frost~]

Thunder nodded. He rearred up, landing on the feline's tail. He snorted, ears laying against his head. The cat let out a shrill yowl of oain, as of a horse was crushing his leg and tail. He could smell the mountain lions blood from it's wounds.
