wasn’t the time to be teasing at the
moment because he could now taste the hunger of another presence
close by and looking at them both.
“It Comes!” Connor announced, ready to defend
her at all costs.
Not two seconds later he heard more wet
twigs go SNAP ! SNAP !
“It’s much closer. Bring it!”
That’s when Connor found the deadly eyes of
an experienced killer.
Predator or Prey
Connor’s expression turned fierce, sharp,
dangerous and focused on something. It felt frightening and some
primal part of her felt a thrill of seeing a dominant male become
protective over her. Still… When he looked back at her with those
hunter’s eyes, she still felt truly frightened, but not from him.
Sarah felt frightened from what could make Connor look so dangerous
and deadly.
When Sarah heard Connor say “It Comes!”
she knew he wasn’t joking or playing around anymore. The situation
couldn’t be any more serious. Everything from his voice to his
posture screamed DANGER !
Standing right behind Connor, Sarah
noticed everything about him in an instant. He had leaned forward
in a crouched position. Long, strong arms and wide muscular back
were so large that she was unable to see what exactly IT is. Connor’s jaw muscles were set
and flexing tightly. In his right hand stood Tool. He gripped the
steel handle so tightly that his large knuckles were all ghost
white and she could see the tendons and muscles bulging in the lone
hand waiting to be set free. The weapon itself wasn’t very
intimidating, but he sure was.
Throughout her entire life she recognized
that stance and focused face anywhere, all too easily. It’s the
face of a man getting ready for a battle to the death. But what
would tempt fate and challenge such a large man?
Sarah then heard a twig or branch snapping.
Gathering all of the courage she could muster, she sidestepped to
the left just enough to see around Connor’s enormous shoulder. She
wanted to see what put Connor on high alert.
Not even twenty five yards away crouched a
massive Cougar. A full grown, sleek and hungry Mountain Lion at
that. It has short golden fur and a long slender body designed to
chase and kill. Its body pressed low to the ground and hung in a
crouched position. The shoulder muscles were bunched up, ready to
pounce or chase his prey and its legs were slightly out to its side
for maintaining balance. The paws of the big cat were just as
menacing because the claws were extended. Its long tail twitched
side to side in anticipation of its next large meal. What froze
Sarah like a stone carving, were its eyes. It had sharp, golden,
piercing eyes that said only one thing, ‘Breakfast!’
The Cougar roared, trying to make its prey
run.
Well, it worked on her.
Sarah screamed in terror and stepped back
involuntarily.
In the next instant Connor’s left hand
reached back and grabbed her shoulder firmly, to hold her still.
His large and firm grasp kept her from tripping and falling
backwards. Shocked, Sarah looked up at him to notice that the only
thing that moved on him had been his left hand. Everything else
about him stayed in the exact same battle ready stance. Especially
his eyes, they didn’t even leave the terrifying hunter for a
moment, as if the roar didn’t affect him at all.
Quietly and evenly he spoke “Don’t run, he
wants to attack you with your back turned to him. So he can more
easily get to your pretty little throat.”
In all her years, she should already
know that by now, but Sarah still felt scared witless from this
hungry predator. Her adrenaline began pumping through her veins,
telling her to run for it, yet Connor knew instinctively
what not to do. She needed to
stay calm and trust in Connor’s skills if she wanted to
survive .
Not a moment later the massive feline
lunged.
Connor didn’t hesitate in his attack
either.
As the Cougar jumped in the air, fangs bared
and claws out, aiming for Connor’s throat. Connor brought Tool in

close by and looking at them both.
