Now for an Excerpt:
Melissa’s eyes were on the view ahead instead of the trail
and she missed seeing the animal standing in her path. A sudden blur was her
only warning before she fell into the dirt, her arm securely gripped in the
mouth of a large, tan cougar. She screamed, and for the briefest moment, its
grip slackened before it dug it’s teeth even deeper into her flesh. With her
free hand she hit the creature in the ribs, and it snarled and shook her arm,
ripping it even more. She scrabbled her hand over the dusty ground and her
fingers curled around the smooth bark of a stick. Heaving it into the air, she
swung at the creature, catching it on the ribs. The cat loosened its grip, and
she pulled her arm away and scrambled backward before pushing herself hurriedly
to her feet. Her skin was ripped and bloody, but she barely noticed as she
grabbed the branch again and swung it through the air in the direction of the
cougar. It snarled and darted away from the crude weapon, its olive-green eyes
watching her intently, and Melissa gripped the branch more tightly.
A crashing sound came from the trees, and then, suddenly, a
flash of black rushed through the air, slamming into the cougar and sending it
flying. She stumbled back as a huge black cat, bigger by far than the cougar,
fought her attacker. Her mouth went dry as she realized it was a panther – just
like the one from her dreams. Tan and black blurred together as snarls and
growls ripped through the air. Blood spurted over the dirt; the cougar yelped
but met the panther with bared teeth. The black cat didn’t even pause as it
lunged for the cougar’s throat, ripping open the side of its neck. The cougar
stumbled to the ground, then rose and fled.
The panther watched as the cougar disappeared between the
trees, then slowly turned its bright green gaze on Melissa. She stared back,
frozen with fear, as the creature looked at her. It glanced at her arm, bloody
and dirty, and she stepped backward, holding the injured limb to her chest as
she gripped the stick. The cat followed her movement, then with a flick of its
tail turned and vanished through the trees.
