Another Foe [solo battle]

Raccoons would be the death of Beecloud. They agitated him for some bizarre reason. Their chattering was grating on his ears; their sneaky faces and prey-stealing tendencies made him atrociously aggressive. At least foxes had the decency to hunt for themselves. And yet, without fail, they always alluded him. The one he was tracking today had swiped two squirrels from right out under him. It was prey he had worked very hard to collect, and because of the stupid creature, he would not eat.

It had gotten as far as the Owl Tree, and Beecloud was certain it was somewhere nearby. The scent floated on the air, rather than lingering as a long-gone trail. It was circling this area, perhaps to eat up scraps from the base of the tree or steal an egg. He chewed the inside of his cheek as he surveyed the area. Somewhere, it was lurking, and when he found it, he was going to give it a run for its...

"Grrrr ack." Beecloud swung around to find the vermin coming up on his flank, yelping as it lurched towards him. Instinctively, his paw swiped out at its shoulder, making contact as his long claws sunk beneath fur and flesh. It made another gruesome sound as it scurried backward; the wound was significant, but only served to make him more angry. The raccoon snapped at his paw, grabbing it in a tight squeeze. Beecloud began to shake and thrash, which was just as big as himself, groaning at the effort. "I'm so sick of you!" he hissed, drawing his paw back with a brief spray of blood.
