Blood in the water! It set all of Ichabod's fins on end and it was all he could do to hold himself back and not go snapping for the delicious treat. Still, it addled his thoughts and distracted him - he wanted very much to snap out. He was hungry.
So maybe he didn't wait as long as he should have - he didn't keep his hiding spot until she had passed SO close to him that he might launch out and sink his fangs into her sensitive neck.
Instead, as she gnashed her teeth, eyes searching for him, Ichabod barrelled outwards, towards her, teeth-first.

She saw the flash of teeth toward her, and all thoughts of fleeing were gone. An insane type of blood lust was in her now, he had forced her to chase him...to leave her peacefulness. She lunged for him, half expecting a titanic crash as she saw his razor-like teeth coming at her.

With a mutual gnashing of teeth, they collided. They were a swirl of fury and fear-driven anger as both lashed out at the other, biting and kicking and jabbing at each other. There was pain, there was blood. To an outside observer, it would be difficult to determine just where one started and the other ended, and where the blood was coming from.
Ichabod felt pain - as her teeth sunk into his flesh - that only blinded him more in rage and instinct. It did not take much in general for him to revert to the thoughtless creature of the deep - such as he had been for his entire foalhood.

Adrenaline was pumping, she couldn't feel the pain at first because of it. She was too excited, to desperate to fight to notice much of it at first. But as the blood leaked from her body, she could feel it come in waves.
Their teeth crashed against each other, and she felt the pounding in her head increase. But her anger rose with the pounding, and for once she wanted to kill...to fight to the death.
But what if it was the other way around, she didn't want to die. She needed to be stronger.

The battle was hot and fiery as each let go and tore into each other with anger and madness borne of desperation. They were both cornered down in these rocks, and each left their marks on the others' hide.
However, It was not long before the battle was noticed by others... and the blood in the water attracted more than just Ichabod as dark shadows began to circle and cold, emotionless black eyes fixed on the pair. The sharks had found them and were beginning to school. It would only be a matter of minutes at best until a feeding frenzy.

Nessie felt eyes on her. If she'd had hair on her head, it would have stood on end. She couldn't see the eyes, not like this when she was fighting to fiercly....but she could feel them. This was danger beyond what was going on now, they'd both be eaten.
Thinking as quickly as she could, she flipped her tail and tried to propel herself away from him. Enough that maybe, they could both see the danger they were in. The water around them was thick with blood, hard to see through...hard to think with it's smell about them.

Normally, Ichabod was keenly aware of other predators in the waters. He had to be - he had spent enough time alone in the depths to know the dangers that sharks bore. They could be at least as large as him, and some times much, much lager. And while they may have preferred other types of food - a bleeding kelpi was surely not something that they would pass over.
However, he had been so enrapt in the battle - his mind hazy and relying on instincts, pressed father and farther from ration as the fight heated and his flesh torn that he didn't actually notice the the sharks until Nessie pulled back. He was about to lunge, seizing on the opportunity when a shadow passed behind her and he froze - just a moment - as his mind kicked on.
Survival.
It was the ultimate rule. And it was the presence of these sharks that reminded him very much of the fear he was supposed to embody. He could smell her fear now, too, mixed with their blood in the water. And it brought him a measure of satisfaction.
He needed to get out of there, quickly. With barely a parting glance, he kicked off from the bottom with his hooves and then tucked them close to his body, his powerful tail lashing behind him - heading quickly for the surface where the rocks and reef breached the air. And away from the mare. Splitting up was as good of a strategy as any. And now, he wasn't running from her - he was just surviving.

Nessie shot off in the other direction. Happy that at least there was a diversion to leave. This was a chance to survive. And one day, maybe one day she would face him again.

Ichabod's hooves came down hard on the rocky reef, ears back and his sides heaving. It was impossible to see very far into the dark waters, but he knew that he had to wait... hopefully not too longer. His cuts and tears stung as the salt from the water and in the air. But... if he wanted to survive, he had to wait till the sharks had dispersed. Until then, he'd stand on this tiny rocky outcropping in the sea and hope his skin didn't dry out.
At least his confrontation with the mare he had misjudged was over.
((And that's a wrap? smile ))
