batteries run dry

Blood rushed to her ears, heart pounding in her chest, paws burning against the heat of the sand. Nimue was quite literally, running for her life. A symphony of growls resonated from her as she raced across the dunes, heading towards a cluster of palm trees in the distance. Don’t be a mirage, don’t be a mirage! Usually, she wasn’t one to run away from a battle- but when she’s jumped by a pack of wild dingos, she knew better than to face them alone. So, her best option was to try to outrun them, or find a suitable place to hide out.

Gliding across the sand, eating away the distance between herself and the oasis. Nimue could hear the dingos yowling behind her, hot on her heels. Finally she reached the small pool of water. Racing along the edge, kicking up mud behind her, nearly running straight into a towering girl who had just finished getting a drink. “Dingos! Dingos!” She yelled, planting her paws in the sand and skidding to a stop, only to whirl around to face the pack. Not bothering to look at the stranger, who'd been roped into a battle of the fittest.

Well, at least she didn’t have to fight them alone now.
