The sudden pain made Atreus spin around trying to get at Sauchin, nothing but rage in his eyes. His fangs snapped inches from the red male's face, but no matter how he twisted he just couldn't get him. Finally he turned back to Leia, realizing that if he killed her, Sauchin would be forced to let go. Screeching in anger, he hooked her shoulder with a massive paw, dragging her to the ground beneath his forepaws. Anger and a dark satisfaction gleamed in his eyes as he opened his mouth and struck, aiming for her jugular.
Leia managed to twist at the last second, taking the blow to her ear, hissing as Atreus' fangs tore through it. Flipping onto her back, the gray serenche began to tear at Atreus' muzzle with a jackrabbit motion with her hind legs. Her front claws tore into his throat, causing him to release and fall back-right on top of Sauchin. Leia hissed again and got to her paws, then yelped when Atreus surged forward. He brought both of his paws and all of his weight down on her foreleg. Pain shot through it and down her spine as the bone gave out beneath the onslaught, snapping in two places. She surged to the ground in pain, but her amber eyes gleamed with determination.
Lifting his lips in a cold smile, Atreus shook Sauchin off of his leg before leaping over Leia. He was bleeding and favoring his hind leg, but he was still able to run, and that's exactly what he did, leaving Sauchin, Leia and Sublimal behind. "It's time I return to my home forest." he said as he ran, keeping his ingured leg above the ground. "Being away for too long has changed me."
