Chestnuts Over an Open

An avian could typically outrun a human, even without flight, their leg shape, talons and tail allowed them to run faster than any human could hope to match.Through a blizzard however, an avians advantages became their downfall.Yosano was at a disadvantage, and she knew it.Suddenly, a black blur shot out from the whiteout, slamming straight into the human’s side with a screech.The human staggered back, hands lifting to hit at whatever had latched onto them.“Ranpo!” She yelled, a smile stretching across her features.One of his talons was latched around the humans arm, his claws grabbed viciously at their head and his jaws snapped at whatever was closest. She could see the desperation in his every move, nothing like the clean efficiency of hunting. He was clawing for whatever he could reach, claws reaching for eyes and pulling hair, he snapped at their neck like he was going to rip their throat out with his teeth.The man’s hand got too close to his mouth, Ranpo bit down, she could see the dangerous grin on his face as blood welled up around his teeth.
