As Ivypaw looked up at the fox bearing down on her, she heard a whisper in her ears. " Dodge to the side, and flick out a claw." Instinctively, Ivypaw obeyed, hopping out of the way as the fox charged past, clawing the fox's side. The fox let out a howl of rage and pain. Still yelping, it turned quicker than Ivypaw would've thought possible and leaped at her, pinning her down.
Ivypaw felt panic rising in her pelt as the fox's teeth stabbed at her throat and its huge paws crushed the breath from her body. But as her senses began to spin away, she heard a yowl, and the heavy paws pressing her down, vanished. She flopped onto the grass like a wet leaf, chest heaving as she struggled to regain her breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Runningfox, beating the fox back with a flurry of lightning fast swipes. The fox snarled and began to back away with its tail between its legs, then it turned and vanished into the trees.
Ivypaw's mentor turned and raced to her, panting. "Thank Starclan! Are you ok?", he asked anxiously. Ivypaw nodded, breathless and relieved that her mentor was unhurt. "Let's get you home.", Runningfox murmured and bent over her, grasping her scruff in his jaws, Ivypaw was too tired to protest as she was carried like a kit, swinging from her mentor's jaws, her tail dragging in the dirt.
