Snippet #2774098

Her arm, bruised some by the rock, Bella flinches only slightly from the impact, her dense weighty body allowing her significant anchorage. Seeing Darren injured and dazed she silently berated herself for an imperfect performance. It was then, however, the werebeast lunged by her, aiming to bypass her completely for the weaker link. Foolish. She spun around with a blank expression on her face, a wild look in her eyes like an animal ready to strike. With her long and powerful tail she snapped it around like a whip with a loud snap, targeting the lycan's body. She was intent to give the lycan no room, to take their entire focus on herself, like an animal protecting its young.
