Perhaps I Am Destined For This

CELESTE

She should have heard them coming. As adept at hunting as she was, one would think Celeste could hear a pin drop on the other side of the continent. Yet, as she peeked around a bookcase, her aquamarine eyes blinking against the dim light, she was taken by surprise. Her singular hello was answered by paws and teeth grabbing ahold of her. A thin and ratty piece of cloth was quickly wrapped around her muzzle. She began to fight back. She whipped her head back and forth as much as she could, hoping to catch one of them with a horn. Her paws scrambled against the cold stone, clattering and echoing until a rope was tied to her ankles.

Cel felt confident of escaping until she heard Oki's voice. For some reason, knowing he was down here made her even more afraid. Her body froze as she fought to scream against the tight hold of the cloth. "Hn-hh!!" The muffled noise was nothing compared to the sound of Oki beginning to engage with her attackers. Her eyes widened even more, the whites glaringly obvious in what little light flickered around them. "Oohhh-kkk," Cel continues to try and say his name, calling out to him, hoping he can save her, as she flails like a fish taken out of water.
