Spirit lifted his head and sented the air. There was no breeze and the heat made him feel light headed. The mares and stallions grazed in the field below while the foals played everywhere. Cale was napping under some bushes, escaping the heat. What happened next happened so fast that non of the horses could react fast enough. A cougar broke from the bushes and attacked the sleeping foal. There were screams from the remaining foals as the cougar fought with the struggling foal. The stallions ran to protect the mares who were protecting the other foals. Spirit was on the cougar in a minute kicking and bucking. Cale stumbbled away bleeding everywhere. Spirit finished the cougar and chased him away. Returning to the group of horses surounding the dead foal.
The scene right before the cougar kills Cale.
