Amaya was surprised by the hunter. He noticed her... she was going to tear him apart without a warning for him, yet he saw her. The blunt force of the gun end into her chest was enough to almost knock her off the tree. However, she grabbed hold of it with her claws.
She saw him aim and shot at Shadow. She wasn't sure if he hit him, but she went for the hunter. No one hurts Amaya's pack. Even if she was a bitch, she hated humans- especially those who attack a pack member. As he fell, she howled. Alerting the pack of the human's presence. It was an attack on the pack, one that would not go unpunished.
Amaya saw the hunter raise it's gun barrel at her, he shot but she ducked, missing the dart. However, she fell to the ground as though she had been shot. Hopefully he would not check. When she herd him loudly make an escape, she waited a couple seconds, thinking, 'I'll give him a head start, I can probably outrun him any day.'
When Amaya thought it was safe, she got up and looked at Shadow. She knew that he wasn't hurt, there was no blood. She then looked in the direction that the hunter went in... towards the pack. This made her have to decide between one and the other. She didn't want to, but knew that she had to go after this human. He had a gun and wasn't afraid to use it. So, she had to leave Shadow behind.
Amaya raced after the human, while alerting the pack once more. She didn't want them to be off their guard. She was ready for an attack at any moment. Amaya spotted him and ran faster, harder. He was her prey, and she was the predator. She noticed he had soft material on, not much protection from her teeth at all. As soon as she was close enough, she jumped for him, trying to knock him to the ground where his long gun would be no use for him.
