A/N: Okay, I know these chapters are short. However, it takes a lot of brain power and cheese to write them, so I hope you can forgive me. Also, it has been a while since I last said this, but reviews make me write more. The more reviews, the more motivated I am to write, so if you want to say something, please don't hesitate to do so. Thanks for the love and patience guys :)

Chapter 3

Many, many, many miles away, Irina finally found Kate; buried in the ground down to her ankles, humming a string of random notes as her toes moved back and forth along with the sounds. It appeared Tanya's throw had been strong enough to cause Kate to pierce the ground upon impact.

Kate only stopped humming when Irina grabbed her by the ankles, and with one strong heave, pulled Kate right out of the ground.

The moment Kate was freed, she flipped, landing on her feet, and tackled Irina in an overexcited bear hug.

"That was awesome!" Kate cheered as she twirled with Irina still in her arms, laughing a tad maniacally in Irina's opinion. It had been weeks since Kate had radiated such pure and potentially psychotic joy. "How far did Tanya throw me? Did you count? Think Tanya will throw me again? Dude, I'm so lucky I missed that winged chick, I so owe her one! How much trouble do you think I'll get in with Tanya if I incited that girl over some more?"

This weirdo is my mate. This is the woman I love, and will continue to love, for all eternity, Irina thought as she shook her head in a mix of fondness and disbelief. She couldn't control her smile as she took Kate's face in her hands and gave Kate a peck on the lips.

Of course, with how excited Kate was, Kate didn't hesitate to kiss back. The kiss, fueled by her passion, quickly turned what was supposed to be a quick sign of love into a lust fueled clash of lips. Both lost track of how much time passed, and as Irina twined her arms around Kate's neck and hooked her legs around Kate's waist, as Kate cupped Irina's ass to pull her closer, both nearly got lost in lust completely and fucked right then and there.

However, there was a tree. A large, thick tree, barely hanging together after having suffered Kate's impact before she had ended up in the ground. Despite its best efforts, the damage done to the tree became too much for it to bear, and it fell, breaking right in half.

Kate and Irina were so into getting handsy with each other, so into their love and lust and hunger, they didn't register what was happening until it was too late. The tree fell, and as Irina was being held up by Kate, she was the tallest. Which meant she had to take the most impact as the thick trunk of the tree landed right on her head, splitting in half as it met with the strong, immovable force of Irina's body.

Irina jerked back in shock as she realized what was happening. "Well, that's one way to end our moment, huh Kate?" Irina asked dryly, putting a hand over Kate's mouth and pushing Kate's face away as Kate tried to continue their make out session despite the leaves and twigs raining down on them.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kate protested, her voice muffled as Irina kept her hand over Kate's mouth. "Just adds a little spice, we should totally keep going. We can fuck right on the tree, y'know, revenge style. Rub our sex lives right in its stupid bark covered face."

"It doesn't even have a face, Kate."

Without a second of hesitation, Kate moved one of her hands off of Irina's glorious ass, jabbing her pointer finger deep into the tree. She repeated the motion again, then one more time, this time dragging her finger along the tree to make a warped smiley face.

"Now it does," Kate said, hand returning to its rightful place on her mate. "Now, where were we…"

"Kate!" Irina exclaimed, unable to hold back a laugh as Kate started to lower her right onto the tree's makeshift face. "Enough, the mood is ruined."

"The mood is never ruined as long as you're here," Kate replied with a huge grin.

Had Irina still been human, she would have blushed. Instead, regardless of how much she wanted to give in to her mate, she had to remember why they were out here in the first place.

"We should probably make sure Tanya didn't hurt that girl first, shouldn't we? Who knows what happened while we were gone?"

At Irina's words, Kate froze for a second, eyes widening in horror. "Shit! Oh no, Tanya better not have killed my new bestie!" Kate didn't bother to put Irina down, instead running full force back towards the house, making sure to grope Irina's ass the entire time, screaming, "I'm coming, Feathers!"
