Half word seasonal pass
The beach was Ajax's favourite place to be. He liked the cave well enough, enjoyed the sound of the gentle waves lapping against the old boat and the constant drip of water falling from the ceiling but it wasn't the same. Wasn't nearly as big and spacious, didn't grant him the same sense of freedom and room to stretch his gangly, growing limbs. On said outing to prance around he spotted a strange, small shape by the water, carrying something small and wriggling in its mouth. He bounded over without thought, fox tail wagging high as his excitement got the better of him. He didn't stop to think for a moment he didn't recognise this creature, that the smell that clung to its coat was foreign, if not a little salty from being in the sea. As he approached the animal, which turned out to be a small cat of some kind-perhaps a distant relative to domestic cats-puffed up and hissed at the sight of him. All vitriol and fury, as though it couldn't compute why he'd even think approach was a good idea. It probably wasn't, he might have realised if he'd stopped to think about it for a second, but he wasn't that kind of kid! Leap first and think later! Consequences be darned! Dropping the fish to the floor, it flopped a couple of times as it coated itself in sand. Before finally gasping its last breath and falling still. Distracted by watching the fish pass, Ajax didn't notice the cat was charging before it was too late, before he had two paws full of claws swiping at his muzzle as it leapt at him with sheer abandon. Eeeping in alarm, he skittered away, only just managing to dodge the attack as the cat kept up the offensive. No mercy, giving Ajax no room to respond except to dodge and dip, hope it didn't steal one of his eyes! When he sparred with his pack mates or siblings it was just play, a bit of ear chewing here and maybe a kick there. But this cat had a feral, almost frantic air about it. A wild look in its eyes that was captivating, Ajax couldn't look away, didn't dare to blink. It had his heart racing in a way he'd never experienced before, a sense of risk and danger that had him thrumming, on the edge of something he really liked...wanted to explore further but... Oop! Okay okay he was leaving! He'd leave the cat be and it could eat its fish in peace! He was going...but had seen something new, gained a new perspective on fighting. That it was about hurting, being a vicious as possible to get what you wanted.... |
