Goldenpurr's Beginning

by Goldenpurr

Baillie is just a regular lioness, living without a pack, in a forest, next to a farm, with a completely normal life; then everything changes thanks to the heartless actions of an overprotective farmer. Its a really short book with a lot of short chapters, but it all has deeper meaning, explained in later books(which are longer). Please read it, I really want a reason to post more.

Run

ANOTHER SHORT CHAPTER I warned you

Baillie stood there, petrified. After what felt like years Baillie was finally able to focus back on the world around her. She was still terrified though. The Oddpaw began to look around. He looks right next to her and moved his gaze to look straight at her.

Baillie slowly turned around and before the Oddpaw could do the same to her as he did to the coyote, she began to run. She ran and ran as fast as she could, grief and horror clouding her vision, and her thoughts.

The last time she had ran this far this fast was right after her graduation. That time, though, she was able to ignore exhaustion because she was surrounded by joy. This time, however, she was able to run because she was surrounded by grief and fear for her life, and the life of others.

If the Oddpaw was able to do that to a coyote so effortlessly, he could easily do that to any creature that crosses his path, including my lion kin. Although she was scared, her mind still worked quiet well, going through all the possibilities, ideas, opportunities, tactics and anything else that might need to be thought of. Her mind, as well as her body, was perfect for a fight, maybe even a leader.
