All around me were shadows as my nails dug into the moist earth. The urge to go to ground vibrated through my little body, but I pushed forward, leaves sliding beneath my paws. I didn’t know exactly what form she’d taken, but my rapidly twitching nose instantly recognized the acrid scent of something feline. Sonja’s low growl of frustration echoed behind me. I bounded away, sleek and long, haunches bunching and then springing forward to propel me into the darkness. Grinding my teeth, I narrowed my eyes and concentrated, letting my own form shift. I ducked, the sharpened talons slicing the air with a deadly whistle. Startled, I shot up from where I huddled beneath a cluster of fallen logs, decayed bark scattering as a set of claws shredded my hiding place. Sonja’s warning slid around me with a wash of power.
