Jessa felt her body slam into the den wall as the bear's paw wacked her. She let out a small whine and closed her eyes as the pain shot through her. She was terrified. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't just sit there though. She would never survive if she didn't at least try to defend herself. She laborously lifted herself onto all fours.

Javon watched Corval get shaken off the bear. If he wan't so afraid he was about to lose his daughter, he would have been proud of Corval for the attempt. It was couragous of his nephew. Javon's mind was on Jessa though. He sprinted at the bear and lept up onto the bear's back. He sunk his teeth as best he could into the back of the bear's neck. He knew it wouldn't hurt the bear too much, but he just wanted to distract the bear from Jessa.

Corval shook himself off after hitting the ground. He stared at the bear for a moment and then got an idea. He slipped under the bear and started tearing at the softer belly of the bear. Blood from the bear filled his mouth. He started spitting and coughing, trying to get the blood out of his mouth. He kept his paws scratching at the belly of the bear. He wasn't going to let the beast get Jessa.

((Sorry for not being here! Schoolworks taking up most of my time

Will post right away))

Mist sat in the clearing. The sunlight caught her fur at a strange angle making her have a glowing white outline. Mist was in deep thought, about why the wolf could have anothers wolf's blood on it. Surely, it couldnt have been from killing another wolf. Mist knew there could be other reasons, but this idea stuck out the most. Mist shook her head to rid herself of such thoughts and stood up. As she stood she heard a loud roar. A bear roar. Mist had had few encounters of bears but none of them were good. Most of the time, the bears either stole her kill or attempted to attack Mist. She stiffened and listend carefully. She heard a faint whine soon after the roar. What was the bear doing? Mist began to walk towards the roar. The only thing making her legs move was her curiosity.

 Mist trudged through some shrubs and bushs for a short while before she came to the dens. She knew she shouldnt be here, but she had  to find out what this bear was doing. She scanned the area and her eyes soon found the bear. It was by a den with two others wolves frantically attacking it. One was under the bear scratching its belly while the other was on top biting the bears neck. Mist was frozen with both confusion and fear. Should she help? But if she helped, surely the pack wolves would attack her aswell. But the bear was obviously set on killing something inside the den. Finnaly Mist charged at the bear and clamped down onto one of its back legs at the ankle. She tore her teeth into the bear as far as she could and jerked her head around in an attempt to distract the bear. If she was lucky, she could maybe get to the bone, or near, and that was almost certain to distract the bear. But Mist knew that bears had huge builds, Mist called them 'Chunks of muscle with bad attitudes,' and that it would have to be a particually thin bear if she were to get to the bone at all.

{{{sorry I have been gone. My son has been really sick.}}}

Corval noticed the shewolf attacking the bear. She wasn't part of the pack, but he knew that they needed all the help they could get. He chose to let her alone, to let her help them. He kept tearing at the bear's belly. It was raoring in anguish as he attacked the belly. He hoped the bear would soon give up and leave. Corval feared for Jessa. He hoped they would all come out of this alright.

Jessa kept close against the wall. She was terrified. The bear kept snapping his teeth at her. She tried to keep well away from them. She could see Corval and her father attacking the bear. She whimpered more. She tried to find her courage. She had to fight. She took a deep breath and lunged at the bear's face. She bit down where ever she could and scrathed at his eyes and nose with her claws. 

Javon kept biting the bear. He had to get it away from his daughter. Javon noticed Jessa run at the bear's face. "No, Jessa. Don't..." He bit harder. He had to get this bear away.

Jessa's body flew from the bear. She landed with a thud on the floor of the den. A soft whine left her muzzle as she fell. Then, she laid there, almost lifeless. Her chest softly went up and down with each breath she took. She didn't open her eyes or lift her head. Her body was shot through with pain. She whimpered again.

Javon let go of the bear's neck and jumped to the ground just before the bear ran into the woods. He landed on his paws and ran to the den. He stood over his daughter. "Jessa," he whispered. He licked her ears as she whimpered.

Corval dropped to the ground as the bear fled. He rolled onto his paws and stood up. He looked at his bloody paws. He knew he was a mess from tearing at the bear's belly. He went to go wash it off in the nearby stream. When the blood was gone from his face and paws, he went back to the dens. He stood outside the opening to Jessa's den and watched Javon and Jessa.

Mist jumped a little as a wolf talked to her. She turned around to face him. "Oh, hi. I'm Mist.." She said, but her voice was quiet and shy. She smiled back at the wolf. "Well, I like to help I guess. I couldnt forgive myself if your Alpha's daughter was hurt." Mist sat down and licked her red lips. Mist was glad the wolf was this welcoming, she hadnt expected that at all. How and where did that burst of bravery come from?!

Mist watched as the wolf sat down beside her. Her fur waved gently in the breeze, some stray rays of sun framed her in a glowing yellow outline. "Oh, I had expected you to be a full member of the pack, since you were with the Alpha.." Mist said, her voice a teeny braver, "I don't know if a pack life would be for me. I prefer being on my own for some odd reason." Mist gave a little shrug at the end of her sentence and looked away towards the floor. She found it hard talking face-to-face.
