"You better run, Emma; it's no fun if you just stand there while I pound you into the ground!" Kendra sneered at the small, silent form of Emma Delauro.
Emma's blue, terror-filled eyes darted around looking for any possible escape. ::All I can do is run and hope that Shalimar will be able to find me fast and help me out, or I'm dead... :: Emma turned her back to Kendra and sprinted as fast as she could down the cement pathway that was littered with leaves. She turned in different directions every chance she could, trying to lose her pursuer.
No matter how fast she went, or how many times she changed directions, Kendra stayed right behind her. ::How can she still be behind me? She has been walking the whole time. There has to be a way to lose her. This is like one of those Stephen King horror movies. I run as fast as I can, and Kendra is walking, yet somehow she manages to stay right behind me. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?:: Emma's thoughts were now panicked, and she wished that someone would come to her rescue.
Kendra could still see Emma ahead of her, running as fast as her long legs would carry her. "IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU RUN, EMMA. I CAN CATCH UP TO YOU ANY TIME!"
Emma knew that Kendra was a molecular with the ability of super strength, but Emma didn't know that Kendra also had the ability of super speed.
As Shalimar made her way over to the lunch area where she was supposed to meet Emma, she thought of Brennan. :Sigh: "He's the best; who wouldn't want to keep him?" she giggled under her breath. Just as she inhaled, her feral enhanced nose picked up an unusual scent. Shalimar sniffed around a bit more and found that one scent was that of her friend, Emma, but the other scent was unfamiliar. "EMMA? EMMA, WHERE ARE YOU?"
::OMG That's Shalimar. I'm saved!:: "SHALIMAR, I'M OVER HERE!" Emma yelled as loud as she could, straining her voice trying to get more volume.
If it were anyone other then Shalimar, Emma's voice would have gone unheard. But, seeing as all of Shalimar's senses were heightened by her feral abilities, Emma's plea for help came through loud and clear.
"EMMA, STAY WHERE YOU ARE; I'M COMING TO HELP YOU!" Shalimar yelled in panic for her friend. Shalimar turned her leather-clad body and ran down the pathway that Emma had run down five minutes before. She followed the path of crushed leaves and broken twigs on the cold cement. ::I hope I can get there in time. If Emma is in the kind of trouble I think she is, then I have to get to her fast::
Emma had heard Shalimar, and she followed her advice. She found the nearest building and ran behind it, trying to hide from Kendra as best she could until Shalimar could get to her.
Shalimar used her small feral nose to find Emma, and when her scent trail stopped, so did Shalimar. She had stopped in front of the big, new, glass history building. ::sniff, sniff::: Shalimar caught the scent that had been unfamiliar to her before. The short, dark haired woman who was standing straight ahead of her was the second scent she had picked up in the lunch area.
Kendra heard light footsteps behind her and turned to see one of Emma's beautiful, popular friends that she had been ditched for. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU WANT YOUR A$$ KICKED, TOO?"
Shalimar flashed her eyes at Kendra, showing her their brilliant yellow feral glow. "You don't stand a chance! Leave Emma alone, or you'll have to deal with me."
Kendra saw Shalimar's eyes and didn't believe it at first. "You're a feral?"
"Feline, in fact," Shalimar said with a proud grin.
"Feral or not, you can't win. You should just leave now and save yourself the embarrassment." Kendra slammed her fist into the brown brick wall and made a hole in the wall a foot deep. "Do you see why you can't win? No matter how fast you are, I will always be stronger. You don't stand a chance."
"We'll see about that!" Shalimar growled while gritting her teeth. At that, she launched herself at Kendra, forcing her to the ground.
Emma had been listening to the whole conversation, and when she heard the fight start, she brought herself out from her hiding place to see if Shalimar needed help.
The two women were on the ground rolling with each other, each trying to get the upper hand in the fight. Shalimar caught a glimpse of Emma as she raised her head.
"Emma, get back. This could get ugly!"
Emma complied with Shalimar's orders and backed up to a place out of the way, but where she could still come to her friends aid if needed.
Shalimar and Kendra were now on their feet. Their hair was filled with leaves, and their clothes were stretched where the other had tried to grab a hold.
Shalimar did a flip over Kendra's head and landed behind her. With a tap on Kendra's shoulder, Shalimar said, "Looking for me?"
With super speed, Kendra tried to use her arm to swipe at Shalimar's head, but even with her powers Shalimar was too agile, and she couldn't touch her.
"STAY STILL SO I CAN BASH YOUR FREAKING HEAD IN!" Kendra yelled in frustration.
"Ohh, what's the matter? Getting mad?" Shalimar taunted
Shalimar's comment turned Kendra's anger into rage, and a second after her comment, Kendra slammed her fist into Shalimar's shoulder.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OH CRAP. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR NOT PAYING ATTENTION!" Shalimar said through short breaths while the pain surged through her shoulder.
"HAH! Got you that time. Now try and take me on!" Kendra sneered with a smile on her face.
Feeling it was her only other option, Shalimar started to run towards the tall stone English building, cradling her shoulder all the while. Kendra ran after her, and with her speed she caught up with Shalimar just as she was running up the building wall. Kendra kept up her super speed and reached out to grab Shalimar's foot.
Shalimar saw the blur of Kendra coming towards her at super speed, and as she saw Kendra jump for her foot, she used all of her remaining strength to pull her foot up.
BAMMMMMMMM! Kendra hit the brick wall at super speed and was knocked unconscious.
Seeing that Emma's would-be-attacker was unconscious, Shalimar jumped down off the side of the bumpy wall, stepped over Kendra's motionless body, and went to find her friend.
