Buzz buzz... Ahhh!

She fought back any feeling of trepidation as the stranger ran towards her. She tossed up a paw to fend off some of the bees that came with her. Perhaps deciding that Motif was a part of the threat. She snapped at the air after one, and missed as it buzzed to the side. Tricky buggers. How had this poor woman ended up with a swarm on her tail?

When Tamsyn reached her, she began to run, side by side with the small black wolf. Leading her as best she could well running, to the pond. Her impromptu partner had no hesitations, leaping into the water. Motif had been around many different bodies of water in her life, and had no fear of drowning. She did however worry if it would be enough to make the bees give up.

Feeling a sting in her coat, Motif bared her teeth, and leaped after Tamsyn. Only a few steps behind her, splashing near the other woman. She pulled herself under the water, swimming to the bottom of the pond. She could just see the murky water past her open eyes. A startled fish swam by her nose, darting out of view. One paw must have clipped Tamsyn’s side, for she felt something much bigger than a fish near her.

With a powerful thrust of her paws, she brought herself closer to the black wolf, just making out the shape of her. Her eyes and lungs began to burn, and she saw Tamsyn nove, pushing herself upwards. Motif followed, breaking through the surface tension and taking in a deep breath. Hacking a little as she looked about for the danger. It seemed it had worked, the bees had given up the chase.
