Ric hadn't figured the creature out yet. The fruit he threw was merely a diversion. A pred would have chased after the noise thinking that it could be a potential prey, whilst a prey figure would have done the opposite. Ric wasn't too upset that his plan failed. Perhaps the creature just didn't care too much about sudden noises.<br/><br/>All of a sudden the tree he was in began to lean drastically.<br/>"What the--? What's going on?" He said. He looked down at the base of the tree and could see the wolf-like creature leaning up against it. "Dang she's strong." As soon as he uttered the words the sound of splintering wood and bark cracking resonated through the air.<br/><br/>Ric only got the chance to give a short yelp before the tree began to fall. He tried reaching for another branch on a neighboring tree but fell short and continued to fall. Luckily for him though that he was a cat and was able to land on his feet without injuring himself too badly. Just a few scrapes and cuts, but nothing too major. However, it was too early to celebrate for a branch came crashing down hard onto his tail.<br/>"YOWCH!" Ric screamed aloud.
