don't eat the yellow snow
Mort!

The blood was roaring in her ears, the only sound other than the crunch of snow beneath her pads as she made her way towards the tree, still a long way off. But it wasn't long before she heard the fast footfalls behind her, casting her eyes back to see the winged pup springing for her. Damn it! She put on a burst of speed and shot across the earth, kicking up flurries of snow in her path.
Her trick with the elk pelt hadn't worked too well, then.... of course, it was the kind of elaborate double bluff that worked extraordinarily well one percent of the time, and failed for the other ninety-nine percent. Still, that didn't answer how had he caught up with her so freaking fast?!
But it was soon revealed when the boy called out to his leopard, and her blood ran cold. Are you kidding me??? So he had his companions with him... honestly, she should've expected it, though. Mort came to play. She knew she was faster than him, and she spent enough time in these woods to have a great handle on the terrain. She didn't know if she was faster than a leopard, though.
Malalia veered sharply, diagonally to the right. She'd been hanging on the eastern-most border of the woods, but her path now would lead directly to the tree. It was also more difficult to traverse. Tossing a quick glance behind her, she saw that the leopard still hadn't caught up yet. She hopped over and scrambled under the upturned willow roots, splashing through the crossing streams, muscles burning with the effort. Hopefully she could gain some time in the tangle of the trees....
