DISCLAIMER: I do not own ThunderCats.
My claws instinctually searched for a foothold in the steed mountain side and when it found one, I pushed with all my might and threw myself over the overhang. Lion-O was soon after and we both lay panting, side by side.
"Worst...Climb...Ever!" I forced out, having to take multiple breaths to say it.
"I Know...What...You mean..." He let his voice trail off and closes his eyes.
Things between us had gone back to awkward and I tended to use stupid excuses to get away from him. I think I had pretend gone to the bathroom over six times today. He had gathered sticks seven times even if we didn't need any more because I think he picked up about my wanting to be away from him.
"I have-" I started but he finished.
"To pee. I know." He rested his head in his hands and let out a sigh.
I pushed around in the underbrush for a nice place to squat because this was one of the few times I really had to go, when a rustle made me spin around.
"Are you avoiding me?" Lion-O place a paw on the bark of a tree behind me and leaned forward, causing me to tilt back. He looked into my eyes and our breaths smelled like peppermint today, maybe some tea leaves.
"Wha-What?" I silently cursed myself for stuttering and he smirked before leaning in-
Three thick bodied lizards fell into the learning and I had my knifes out faster than you could say 'Quick!'. They stood up and the PenCari logo was slightly visible under their heavy padding.
As I threw my arm back to throw a toned arm snaked its around around my stomach and a huge hand plucked the shuriken from my fingers. Even from my position I could smell my captor was a dog from the slobbery tongue that trailed it way up my face.
"Oh gross!" I scream and struggled. I aimed for his kneecap but when I brought the heel of my foot down it connected with steel pads.
"Not so quick girlie!" He said and it sounded like he was eating gravel, his voice was so rough.
"Korrie!" Lion-O started towards me, the three lizards had easily been defeated, and the dogs arm tightened around waist. "Let her go!"
"Oh but I like her, such a pretty coat and when I turn her in I get the reward." He sniffed my hair and I started gagging.
"What reward?" He asked calmly while the dog picked at my hair. I pinched him and he laughed.
"This little girl is wanted by a general of an army for something or other, I can't remember, and is worth a hefty sum. Oh now I know, for her mechanical expertise." I stomped on his foot and he yelped before tightening his grip again. "Your going to have PenCari all over you before you get where you going."
And that was the last thing he said before I kicked him in the crotch.
I didn't like this weeks episode. The girl should have come, they would've kicked- Nevermind.
