The loud alarm went off three times signaling the count down to begin. Abrielle shifted back into a snow leopard and began to slowly back to her corner of the ring.

She looked to the spectre stand and saw Facilier sitting in the throne like chair that Hades would normally be seated in.

The crowd joined in the count down. Whenever they did that a feeling of anxiety took over Abrielle, she did her best to get a reign over herself. Her legs began to shake as she panted.

Esmeralda looked just as terrified, this was her first official fight. Abrielle shook violently and growled. This wasn't just any other fight, she had a job to do someone to keep alive and she'd rather be damned then let anything happen to Esmeralda, another innocent life.

A loud deep vibration sounded off in the arena signifying that the fight began.

Pooh bear ripped from his chains before he was even released. He galloped across the arena towards Abrielle who held her place. Dozen of strategies filled her mind as she studied the bear's movements.

She concluded that the best form of action was to agitate him as much as possible then use his weight against him….and stay alive..yes that was very important as well.

At the last moment Abrielle leapt out of the way Esmeralda followed nearly getting tackled.

Pooh bear's face hit the arena stone wall angering him further.

He targeted Esmeralda as she began to scratch at him violently.

Abrielle used the distraction to her advantage and nipped at his back paws avoiding a deadly swipe of his arms.

She kept teasing him until he turned his attention to her. Abrielle used her speed to duck under him facing his behind then she jumped up ontop of his back.

The bear stood on his hindlegs forcing Abrielle to shift and hang on tightly.

Esmeralda attacked his stomach making the bear cry out and fall to his side clutching his new gash.

Abrielle shifted back observing Pooh bear's reaction to Esmeralda's attack.

The most sensitve place on him is his belly…okay she could work with that.

Abrielle needed the bear to rear up again but this time be the one attacking his stomach. She'd have to get Esmeralda to attack his back.

Abrielle sighed and put her plan into action. This wouldn't be easy.

Elsa frowned and creased her eyebrows. This Feral was different from the others who were just fighting with savagery. This Feral…she was thinking, strategizing the best plans of attacking.

Elsa's heart rate picked up as she saw the black cat finally jump to the back of the bear while at the same time keeping him facing the direction Abrielle wanted.

The crowd gasped as Esmeralda jumped on the bear's back emmbeding in her claws. The bear stood up roaring exposing his weak spot.

Abrielle stalked closer and began biting and relentlessly attacking Pooh bear's abdomen.

Elsa cringed as blood covered her beautiful fur and the sand she stood on.

Eventually Esmeralda jumped down and backed away with Abrielle. They watched the bear sway then fell backwards with a loud thud.

The audience cheered maniacally. The unconscious bear was lifted out of the arena by the staff.

When the cage door opened Esmeralda zoomed out of the arena Abrielle followed behind slowly.

Staff came and began cautiously cleaning the two cats who were greedily guzzling water out of thirst from their bowls.

Facilier called a meeting before the next battle in a large storage room for the staff.

"Take Esmeralda out of the fights and let Abrielle fight alone." he instructed. The surrounding staff gasped.

"But all of their opponents are meant for someone with a partner." A nervous boy voiced.

"Exactly if we bring up the wow factor the more money this colosseum makes." Facilier explained.

"You can't do that it'd be slaughter. Abrielle is Master Hades prize asset." Hook countered outraged.

Facilier smirked. "I am master now. She can handle herself. The more proceeds.." he looked around the room. "The more money in our pockets.." an overweight handler named Pete finished.

"Exactly." Facilier agreed. Some of the handlers began looking around nodding.

Hans gasped looking down at them from a high window. He stealthily walked along the roof of the bulding jumping down.

He walked as quickly as his paws would take him until he found Abrielle drinking water from a bowl.

"Abrielle the- Facilier he wants you to fight alone so he's taking Esmeralda out of the fights." he rushed out panicked.

Abrielle lifted her head licking her mouth. "What -what do you mean? All of the opponents today are meant to fought with a partner."

Hans shook his head. "I know but he thinks it'll being up the "wow factor" .

Abrielle sighed heavily shaking her head. She knew there was nothing she could do but fight for her life.

Hans expression broke her heart. "Hey… I'll be alright. If I can survive a night of you humping me in your sleep then I can handle a couple of grouchy Ferals. Besides most of the are bunch of spoiled Bestiarius celebrities. I'll be fine." she ended with a lighthearted tone.

Hans smiled at her attempt of trying to ease his own doubts then rubbed his body against hers in affection and ran off.

"So who was your favorite Els?" Anna turned to her sister who continued to stare at the empty arena.

Not missing an opportunity Anna licked her finger then raised it to Elsa's ear.

"Don't even think about it." warned Elsa in a cold tone.

"Damnit." Anna cursed she stood up tugging on Elsa's sleeve. "Come on, Eugene and Rapunzel went to go get snacks. I'm starving!" whined Anna playfully with a giggle.

Elsa shook her head. "I honestly have no idea how anyone could stomach something with the sight of all this blood." Elsa chastised but sighed when Anna childishly tugged on her again.

Elsa walked her to the line where the food was sold.

"Are you buying?" she asked the redhead who gave her a look of mock disbelief.

"Why Elsa I am a struggling college student. Where on earth would you get that idea?" Anna said dramatically.

"Of course how silly of me." Elsa reached in her pocket and handed Anna her wallet who giggled and kissed her cheek.

Elsa looked around and saw children running, teens imitating the violence they just saw and adults chatting away oblivious to the hell that was happening on the other side of the wall.

Elsa looked to Anna who was known for being indecisive and figured this would take a while so she took to wandering around until she notice an open door. She checked to make sure she wasn't followed then slipped in.

There was a yard that had cages, some had ferocious creatures others held nothing.

Men were walking around busily in black overalls and a uniform cap.

Then an idea got to her. This could be her chance to find her dream girl. Elsa chuckled at the ridiculously lame name she had given Abrielle.

No one questioned the blonde's presence since they'd seen a lot of spectres come and go assesing their prizes.

She saw a red fox hurriedly coming from around a corner his eyes darting back and forth as if he just sneakily committed a crime.

Curiosity got the best of Elsa so she decided to investigate. She peeped her head from around the corner and gasped. There stood her dream girl lapping at a water bowl while her incredibly long tail swayed slowly.

She was so beautiful. So graceful and she wasn't even trying, just simply drinking water yet she made it look like an art.

Elsa took small steps closer. The large cat's ears twitched as she lifted her head now alerted.

Elsa inwardly cursed she could have sworn she didn't even make a sound. Shit.

Abrielle contiued to drinking peacefully until she heard someone trying to sneak up on her and was failing miserably. It couldn't have been Hans, that boy was the only one who could slip beneath her undetected.

Her ears twitched at the footsteps, who the fuck was making all that racket. Abrielle turned around and silently gasped.

There was a beautiful blonde woman standing before her looking like a caught bird.

Abrielle stepped forward and the blonde woman scrambled to get away falling to her rear.

Abrielle smirked inwardly at the woman's nervous behavior. It was actually kinda…cute.

Deciding to tease her some more Abrielle chuffed softly then began to plafully stalk the blonde circling her.

The woman's breathing labored as she looked around then in a blink of an eye the cat was gone.

Abrielle shook her rump and lightly pounced on her make pretend prey.

"Oooo heaven help me!" she gasped out as Abrielle kneeded her paws gently into her chest.

X

Welp. Thought Elsa…this is it and all because she couldn't keep it in her pants.

Elsa whimpered and closed her eyes bracing herself for her fate as the cat lowered her head to Elsa's face.

X

Abrielle was enjoying this. Maybe a little too much.

She blew a breath through her nose into the woman's face.

Abrielle noticed a lovely scent resonating from the blonde locks. She shoved her face into the curls and inhaled deeply enjoying the scent of lavender.

She pulled back and gazed at the woman with hooded eyes, a little dazed from the smell.

X

Elsa's breath hitched as she studied the dark blue and black hues that were Abrielle's eyes. Her hand experimentally reached up and touched the plush coat of the cat's underbelly. Elsa felt her pulse and her heartbeat quicken then shut her eyes once more focusing on what she felt.

X

Who was this woman? No one but Hans had ever touched her gently like this. No one had ever looked into her soul because everyone believed she didn't have one. Not once did anyone give her the trust this woman gave her.

Letting her guard down Abrielle shifted yet the blonde's hand remained... there on her heart.

X

Elsa didn't dare open her eyes again. If Abrielle's face defermented her control from a distance she didn't know what would happen with the girl straddling her.

X

Abrielle contiued on examining her prey's pleasant features. A cough brought her back to present.

When she looked up she saw a fox giving her a coy smile.

"I hate to be a cockblock here but the fight is about start." he replied snarkly.

Abrielle rolled her eyes the shifted leaping over the woman, she grabbed the scruff of Hans neck, then trotted off ignoring his protest.

Elsa wiped a hand over her face hoping to recover from the moment. Her legs shook as she tried to stand but immediately fell back down.

"I'm in so much trouble." she mused to herself.

Finding her feet Elsa made her way back to her sister who looked to be holding every food item the stall had to offer.

She looked back to the wall and prayed that this was not the last time she'd see the mesmerizing girl.
