She tried to run but realised her back leg was injured. She would never escape in
time. She bared her own teeth, not willing to show fear to the beast, even now, when the
danger was all too real.
Her defiance appeared to only enrage Greyback more—or excite him, she could
not tell.
The rushing sound of hooves drowned out Greyback's snarling, and she looked up
to see Prongs charging, head bowed down and forward. Prey indeed. There was not enough
time for Greyback to react as the pointed antlers of the mighty stag impaled him through
his ribs and neck, running him straight to the ground. Prongs shook his head, bucking his
back legs wildly, tearing fur and flesh. He eventually dislodged the wolf from his now-
bloody antlers before turning around to deliver a fierce back kick to the open wound in
Greyback's side.
Blood spurted to the ground. Greyback snarled in bitter pain as he tried—and
failed—to move.
Another low growl filled the air, and the three Animagi turned to see Moony slowly
stand, his snout high as the scent of Greyback's blood triggered something primal inside
of him.
Mia limped toward Padfoot, who was licking at the large gash in his front paw. They
both watched cautiously as Moony walked over to sniff at Greyback's shaking body.
Greyback snarled up at Moony, but Moony suddenly, confidently, and viciously
growled back; his eyes a pure liquid gold, practically glowing in the dark of night.
Mia nipped at Padfoot's uninjured paw to get his attention, and she moved forward,
creeping low before the sandy wolf, who immediately looked down at her. She lowered
herself as far to the ground as possible, ears back and tail tucked, and Moony watched
closely, approval in his eyes at the sight.
Padfoot followed close behind her, mimicking her movements exactly.
Following their instructions, Prongs kept his distance, stepping backward and
keeping his eyes trained on the injured Greyback, just in case.
As Moony stepped forward, Mia and Padfoot turned their heads to the side at the
same time, willingly exposing their necks to the werewolf who towered over them, looking
larger now than even Greyback, who was monstrous.
