Sisterly Love

Piper giggled as Finch hopped up and smeared some mud on her cheek. She still wasn't entirely sure what this whole game was for, but she was having fun and that's all she cared about. Her tail wagged behind her when Finch called her clever and Piper backed up a bit so she wasn't in the reeds any more and so Finch could get out of her hiding spot. She turned toward the water and sat while her sister waded into the water so she could get cleaned up. It looked like Finch had tried really hard to hide from her and really if it hadn't been for the ducks Piper might not have found her! Once Finch was all done getting clean again and motioned for Piper to come over she was quick to hop to her paws and trotted over to where Finch was standing. She listened closely to her sister's instructions and nodded in understanding, her wait wagging with excitement. Oh this was fun! She watched Finch trot away and she grinned as she glanced around to decide where to start. She knew she wouldn't have that long to hide so she didn't want to waste any time! She turned toward the reeds that Finch had been hiding in and ducked into them, rubbing her sides along the reeds as she slipped through them and made her way to the lakes' edge through the reeds, hoping maybe the reeds might hide her paw prints a bit as she waded out into the water. She waited till her paws weren't touching the lake bed any more before she turned to her left and started swimming down the length of the shore. She went maybe a dozen feet before she finally paddled back to shore and pulled herself out of the water, pausing for a moment to shake some of the water out of her fur. Glancing down, she saw all the mud around her paws and she grinned as an idea popped in her head. She flopped down and rolled around in the mud like her sister had and once she was happy with how covered she was she was she turned toward a grouping of trees where a bunch of dried leaves had fallen. She took big, leaping steps toward the pile and as soon as she got to the leaves she started rolling around so the leaves got all stuck to the mud, turning her into some kind of leaf monster. She giggled at herself and shuffled some of the leaves into a pile and she nestled down in them then laid very, very still, making sure to tuck her tail into the pile and flatten her ears down to her head. Luckily she was already mostly tan colored so she blended in pretty well. Now she just had to wait for Finch! |
