master of disguise

Zion is so absorbed in watching the leaves that rustle in the canopy above, that she completely misses the quivering pile on the ground. Suddenly, in the relative calm and quiet of the forest, a loud flurry of rustling sounds has the girl’s lavender eyes snapping down in the direction of the sound. A flash of white and a loud, albeit squeaky, roar fills the air. For someone who had thought she was alone, this sudden appearance and sudden cacophony of noise has her heart leaping up into her throat. Eyes round in surprise as instinct has her legs backpedaling in a bid to escape the strange creature.

Fear has seized her brain, turning the form of her brother into some, big, scary monster that really is trying to eat her. Small legs wobble as they attempt to scramble away quickly tangling with themselves and tipping the girl over backward. A small, terrified squeak escapes her pale lips as tumbles head over ass and she comes to rest on her back with her short legs sticking out every-which-way. The attacker is now leaping at her and fear morphs her brother’s shape into some unknowable creature. Terror shines in her eyes and he falls toward her and the girl’s will to live suddenly kicks in.

Time slows as a snarl curls her lips, back legs snapping up in an attempt shove at the creature’s back end while her front legs move to block any attacks coming toward her face. With the beast’s momentum, she attempts to throw him over her head and send the winged attacker sprawling. Wait… wings?! Recognition dawns in her mind just her body attempts to throw Wylan over her head and onto the leaf strewn ground. As her body moves all Zion can think is; ‘He better not get hurt because I am going to kick his butt!’.
