To the Rescue!

The two of them endured their deadly dance together. Ve and Ra both timing their movements in perfect tandem, swooping in and skirting away with practiced grace. This was what Velvette trained for every day, the rush and thrill of combat. She felt the adrenaline rush through her veins and her heart beat fast inside her chest. Her breathing was even though, and even in such a high stakes environment she was silent on her toes.

Ramesh performed another flawless attack, the crocodile was completely confused and enraged enough it hadn’t sunk down beneath the surface. Once it went into the water their advantage would be gone and they would not be able to follow with out incredible risks to their lives.

Ramesh took up her game and zeroed in on the left eye. It turned towards where he had disappeared and Velvette renewed her attack. More swift than the ocean breeze Velvette attacked and took her retreat, tasting the iron flavor of blood as her paws carried her back into the canopy. She put herself back into her position, bright eyes falling back on the creature to track its movements. How much longer would the beast tolerate them?
