Two demon hounds were running along the driver's side of the bus, and were having much better luck at shifting the vehicle's centre of gravity. The third, which had run in from the other side, soon joined when it realised which direction the bus would most likely topple in, and began ramming from that side as well. The hounds were smarter than the average institute dogs; huntsmen would settle for no less.
The beasts were still not quite at the level of human intelligence, however. Meat was meat, and the easier it appeared to get at, the stronger the desire to snap it up got. The dog closest to the front of the bus fell hard for Castiel's ploy, letting out a ravenous sound from deep in its throat as its slavering jaws drew closer to the man at the window.
The other two dogs, however, were able to keep ramming away at the bus. The smell of human flesh was lost to the wind further back. So the bus teetered further and further toward the tipping point. Just one or two more hits, and it would likely go over.
And all the while, the huntsmen rode on, listening carefully ahead as the thunderous hooves of his steed sped through the trees.
