Chapter 197: Cornered

An inch before the jaw could close upon her, Hazel gripped the branch tightly on her hand and raised it upward while squeezing her eyes shut. The branch pierced it through the saber tooth's mouth with its sharp end sticking out. 

Blood splashed on her face making her scrunch her face. Furrowing her brows, she opened her eyes slightly and saw the sabertooth tiger growling in pain. It was trying to close its mouth but couldn't because of the branch in between its jaws.

Hazel let out a breath before she shifted to the female saber-tooth tiger snarling. She tutted under her breath as she had used up all the branches she had found. She stood up swaying a little from the ground when she saw the female launch at her. 

Immediately Hazel grabbed the injured saber tooth tiger and pulled it in front of her. The female saber-tooth sank its teeth into the injured tiger making it let out pitiful voices. Hazel looked up and met the female's eyes.
