A Little Slice of Paradise.

As Star padded silently away, a little bark of warning sounded and she saw Dundee peering out of the brush, his beady little eyes filled with anger. Barely half a second later, she heard the loud splashing of her cousin exiting the water. He didn't even shake the excess water from his coat before he was after her. There was a madness in his eyes that struck fear into Star's gut. Was he crazy?

The smaller wolf turned back towards the greenery, hoping to lose herself in it before her cousin could capture her. If she thought her heart had been beating hard before, now it was slamming itself against her rib cage like a trapped bird. Gods, this wasn't happening!

And then... he touched her.

As though impaled upon a spike of ice, freezing cold fear unlike anything that Starchild could explain, slammed through her. Reflexively, she released a sound of terror and began to beg, "No, please!" Stars tail tucked between her legs, holding firm against her belly as she managed to avoid the majority of Zeph's attack thanks to her smaller stature and speed. The Dunamis woman spun, facing her attacker. Jaws parted as she panted harshly from utter and complete fear. Her cyan eyes were open wide, panicked, terrified. She continued to back towards the treeline, still hoping to get away.
