you are my sunshine

Bright royal purple gaze didn’t catch sight of the leopardess until it was too late. Suddenly there was movement out of the corner of her right eye, and as Twig shifted to get a better look the spotted cat leapt from the underbrush. The Memoire girl felt her heart leap out of her chest as she barely avoided getting a face full of wicked sharp claws. The cat was only a few inches shorter than herself, but Autumn was as quick and agile as they came. The blow from the leopard’s right paw landed aimlessly to the leaf littered ground below.
The sun was at its height, soon summer would fully arrive and the rays would be much more harsh. They filtered through the leaves and splattered over Twig and her opponent as they faced off, her own lilac gaze pitted against the vibrant yellow of the leopard.
Twig couldn’t fathom the reason she was being targeted until the sight of two young cubs greeted her through the shrubbery across the way. The girl had almost walked right into them. She had been exploring, having lived most of her life on an island the rest of Boreas was huge. There had been no end to new sights to see. Today she had been exploring the waterfall when she had so rudely been interrupted.
The leopard didn’t give her much time to let her mind wander and the two of them were at it again. Normally leopard didn’t like to mess with wolves, but Twig was alone and without backup. Plus, there were two adorable cubs to protect. Autumn retreated backwards as the cate swung at her again. Its eyes slits as it watched her with intense focus. The cat lifted its heavy lips and hissed menacingly at the she wolf she she continued to retreat carefully. She knew not to break the leopardess’s stare. Their killing blow was to the back of the neck, turning your back on a cat like this was bad news.
Autumn knew she couldn’t keep retreating though, and felt her body fall into defenses naturally. Her hackles raised and her ears fell to her skull while she distributed her weight evenly between her four paws. Ivory tail lashed out behind her as she curled her own lips up to show off her impressive fangs. She growled deeply, not wanting to tango with the cat today, but knowing the confrontation was far from over.
The Memoire girl coiled her haunches, feeling the power well up in her tiger striped hips as she readied her counter attack. Suddenly the both of them were rocketing towards each other. Twig feigned to the right as the cat veered her attack in the opposite direction. Twig managed to dodge the cat’s claws once again. Now she was feeling a bit more brave, maybe a little over confident in her ability. However the idea still popped up and she kind of loved it.
Autumn was going to take a cub.
They hadn’t retreated back into a den like mommy should have taught them, both stared at the ensuing fight wide eyed. She couldn’t tell if they were frozen stiff in fear or fascination. Now that she had a better view of them she realized one was quite a bit smaller. Probably a female, and likely lucky to still be alive. She was a hunkered lower to the ground than the bigger cub, but Autumn had a good aim on its scruff.
As the leopardess turned around to attack again Twig put her power into speed. Her paws moved swiftly and she ate up the ground before mother or kitten could do anything. The Memoire girl opened her jaws and with incredible aim grasped hold of the loose skin and pulled the cub free of the weeds.
Twig hadn’t anticipated the creature’s weight. It was heavy, and was going to slow her down a whole lot more than intended. However, she already had a decent lead and thought she might try to escape. It was possible the mother cat would grab the other cub and just cut her losses. The girl ran, she wasn’t sure if she had ever moved her legs so fast. To her folly, it was not fast enough.
A sudden pain raced through her spine as she felt the cat’s teeth dig deep into her scruff. Autumn couldn't help but cry out in pain, losing grip on the kitten as she slowed to try and shake her assailant off of her. She could feel her blood start to pour down her shoulder as the leopard’s claws dug deep into her flesh. The Memoire girl tried to keep her head as she barely avoided tripping over the cub she had just dropped.
She shook herself violently as her paws gained traction, her effort combined with the distress calls of the kittens removed the mother leopard from her back. Autumn heaved as the beast ripped its claws from her shoulders. All of the cats disappeared and Twig’s legs gave out from beneath her. She whimpered softly as the vibrant red liquid stained her ivory fur. This was a crummy start to her adventure.
