[ rheum, border ]

She'd wandered out to the bay that morning to see if she could get some supplies from her older brother. Feeling rather adventurous, Rheum knew she'd need some type of protection before wandering outside of pack lands, more noticeably without permission. It was just so hard to corral someone old enough to take her out every day when all she wanted to do was go just past the border. The urge to find new plants, herbs, animals, lands, anything that wasn't in the bay or maze itched at her to go.
What she hadn't expected on the shore that morning was the very, very large feline attempting to get into her brother's recent fish catch. Freezing in place, her yellow eyes widen out of fear and shock as she tries to go unnoticed. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as the sound of her paws scratching in the sand caught the tiger's attention. "Kuroo? Usagi? Dad?! UNCLE?" Rheum's voice heightens in pitch as she calls out for each of her protectors. Pedaling backward as fast as she could, there was going to be no avoiding the slinking cat coming her way.
A cry leaves her lips as the tiger pounces forward and grabs her small frame between its jaws. "Let me go!" The pup whimpers as she wiggles in the tiger's grip. Its teeth leave puncture wounds along her sides and she has to stop. Feeling woozy and light-headed, she goes limp, hoping someone will come along to save the day. Why wasn't Roo here by now? He was always at the shore by sunrise to check the traps. How could a tiger have even gotten across the borders without Uncle Hattori noticing? Or dad?
Shutting her eyes tightly, fear pricking tears along the corners of her eyes, she kept the close even after she heard someone yell at the tiger. The scent was unfamiliar and so was the voice. Too young to be one of the older males, but definitely wasn't the voice of any of her littermates. Whimpers trembled from her lip as she felt the tiger lurch to the side. It was then that she opened her eyes to get a look at her savior.
time to get saved!
