You're A Part Of Something Now

With a scowl on her face, Nimue reluctantly adhered to the summons of the Ashen alpha. Why he kept disturbing her peace and making her tag along with him, she didn’t know. But remembering the words Rogue had spat at her, already put her on guard around Chimera. Was he really trying to groom her or something? Keeping a close eye on him as they walked, she was also curious about the task they’d be completing- he mentioned something about protecting the estuary, but she didn’t know what that entailed.

Entering the territory, they started to follow a raised path leading to the center. He finally revealed the purpose of the mission- chase out some dogs who wanted to eat the geese and ducks. She couldn’t help but laugh under her breath- hasn’t she been claimed over the same thing? This guy sure loved his avian livestock. Nodding to him, her apprehension was quickly replaced with excitement, the chance to stretch her legs and fight out some of her rage more appealing than anything else he may have proposed.

When he held a paw out, she stopped suddenly. Looking to him first, she follows his line of sight next, peering into the horizon where the silhouette of four canines were eating something. His words cut through the silence next. Put my back against yours? No way! She thought, but chose to nod her head at him to try and keep the peace. She didn’t want him sending her to the sidelines right out the gate.

As he moved forward, she followed, no hesitation in her gait as they approached the pack head-on. Two of the dogs split off and ran at Chimera, the third standing its ground near the kill, and the four, bursting into a sprint towards her. A smirk pulled at her lips, her strength coiling in her legs as she waited until the dog nearly closed the distance before leaping to the right, feinting the canine. Light on her paws and whirling around to lunge at the dog while it tried to skid to a halt, she leaped at its side, sinking her greedy little teeth into its neck.
