(Leaf – Hollyleaf)
We walked for what seemed to be forever, when we came to a field with sheep all over. My pelt bristled I know where there a sheep there are dogs and where there are dogs there are twolegs. "Come on" Tab said and padded into the field. "Tab, come back there may be dogs in there!" I whispered. "DOGS" he laughed. "Don't worry the dogs aren't out at this time." He meowed
We were half way through the field when a black and white blur ran on one side of the herd. The shape of a black and white dog started moving the sheep toward us. My eyes widened and fur bristled, "YOU WERE SAYING!" I yowled. I turned and ran Tab on my tail, then I saw a tree on the far right. "THERE THE TREE" I hissed back at Tab. We ran for the tree as fast as we could.
I ran up to the tree and leaped my claws hooked into the tree and I started climbing up. When I got to the first branch I stopped and looked down, and was horrified to see Tab having trouble climbing up, then I saw the one dog advancing on him! So I retracted my claws and just balanced on the branch. When the dog was just under the branch and reaching for Tab's tail, I jumped went right in-between Tabs ears and onto the dogs nose. Putting my claws deep into his nose and forehead. He wheeled back and let out a howl of pain. He tossed me in to the air, droplets of blood going with me, as I went by my branch I grabbed it and pulled myself up. Then I looked down to see Tab a few pawlength's away from the branch. So I reached down and sank my claws into his paw, and pulled him up.
"OW!, THAT HURTS!" he snapped and shook his paw blood dripping from it, but I had seen worse. "Well you could go back down to the dogs if you like." I meowed. "Ah… No thanks" he meowed. Then quickly changed the subject. "I have never seen a cat get up into a tree that fast and then attack a DOG?" he asked. "I really wasn't thinking I just did what I was taught to do." I meowed. "Oh ya what's that?" he asked. That question surprised me "Ah, protect the ones I care about." I purred and started getting hot under my fur. "Oh, now we are even!" I meowed flicking his ear with my tail.
We waited a while and the twoleg called the dogs away. After that we climbed down and made our way across the field and up to a barn.
