Watch out!

Wynter clung tightly to Kite as best as she could with her little forelegs hardly able to wrap half way around her aunt's neck and even though she would have loved to look up and see what was going on, it was easier to just bury her head in Kite's fur as they began to run away from whatever was after them. A couple of times she thought she might get thrown off, squeaking and yelping as she had to scramble a bit to regain her balance and place on her back, but she managed to stay on as they ran through the woods. At some point she noticed Lioness was now on Kite's back as well, the cat's paws helping her stay on more securely. Still, it wasn't until it felt like they had stopped to face their pursuer that she actually lifted her head and looked up over the top of Kite's head to see what it was that was after them.

Her eyes widened with a little gasp at the snarling panther that was only a short distance away, stuck in a stand off with her aunt as the two of them snarled and yowled at one another. At first she thought there was going to be a real fight and she prepared herself to hop off and find a place to hide, but then she noticed the way the bigger cat was glancing away and how nervous it looked, almost as if this wasn't where it wanted to be after all, but that it didn't really seem to know where it wanted to be either. It just looked panicked, but not necessarily by the wolf in front of it. After a few moments it finally turned tail and ran, clearly deciding that this fight wasn't more important than whatever else had it spooked. Wynter sighed heavily and relaxed once the panther was out of sight and she gave what she could reach of Aunt Kite's neck a tight hug. "That was amazing, Aunt Kite! You saved us!"
