[BEAR.]

The sudden yowl jolted Wolfpaw away from Beachkit, and he was quick to close the distance between himself and Tawnykit. The first thing he saw was droplets of blood, then subtle movement beneath the moss the young cat had been by. Instantly, he moved to drag Tawnykit away - noticing a visible bite mark but not knowing what to do with it.

His faith in Drizzlecloud was low, but right now he'd rather the older cats tend to Tawnykit's injury while he dealt with whatever was in the moss. "Someone get Drizzlecloud or Springpaw!" He raised his voice to a yowl, not caring who he disturbed.

Then, he investigated the moss. It still moved slightly, and he could see coiled scales shifting between fuzzy strands. A warning rattle.

Wolfpaw was fortunately faster; his paw clubbing the snake hard enough to stun it, and his teeth meeting its throat. It thrashed in his jaws, desperately trying to escape -- to bite him with venom-dripping fangs, but he kept his hold until the writhing faded and finally, the rattlesnake was no more.
