Letting out a sigh Istas flings her blanket off of her, not able to take a nap like she had hoped to.
Sighing and realizing she was bored Istas decided to see if she could find someone to play with. Not
bothering to dress the woman opens the door to her hut. Taking a big breath of air and squatting down
Istas closes her eyes as she wills herself to change from a woman to a clouded leopard. Stretching
her hind legs, and then arcing her back the big cat sniffs the air looking for her victim.
The long tail flickers as the cat watches the unsuspecting victim. As if almost crawling on her belly
Istas creeps toward her prey. Stopping for a moment the cat’s hind legs begin to dance and with a big
leap the cat pounces on her victim.
Letting out a yelp the fairy is suddenly face to face with green eyes, pink nose and whiskers. The big
cat bears her teeth letting out a growl then extends her tongue and licks the side of lyea’s face.
Using her mental capability to communicate with lyea she says, “Your it.”
Laying on her back looking up at Istas lyea could swear she saw the big cat almost smiling. Stepping
over the fairy Istas looks back then sways her hips as to say “Na na na you can’t catch me.”
Jumping to her feet lyea stretches out her wings, and giving out a little growl she flies after Istas with
all her might.
The chase begins as the cat runs down the trail toward the village. Looking behind her she flicks her
tail as lyea almost grabs it. Dodging around a tree she heads for Chikara San’s hut then stops and
ducks as lyea almost runs into the front door, her wings pulling her up fast. Stopping to a skid before
she hits the door lyea turns around and yells, “Just wait until I get my hands on you fur ball!”
Hearing a voice outside her door Chikara San opens the door only to see Istas running away with lyea
flying behind her, hot on the cat’s tail.
Leaping over the fence Istas spots kaie as she is walking toward the stable. Stopping behind kaie the
cat gives kaie’s hand a nudge with her head. Scratching the big head she asks, “Hello Istas why are you
running?”
Just then lyea flies up to kaie nearly out of breath. “Grab her kaie!”
“Huh?” Not understanding why lyea wanted her to grab the cat kaie watches as lyea chases Istas
around her in circles. Turning in circles with the two kaie becomes dizzy as she watches the fairy trying
to grab the big cat. Watching Istas run toward Grandmother’s Hut with lyea flying after her kaie takes
a step to steady herself hoping that the two do not run into Caitlin as she rubs her behind remembering
about last nights patrol.
Two heads look up as the door to Grandmother’s Hut is flung open. Skidding to a stop Istas starts
to walk toward the back of the hut where the back door is. Looking over at Killian and Morgan the big
cat swishes her tail as to wave at the women then looks behind her and starts to walk faster. Hearing
another set of footsteps the seated women see lyea as she runs into the hut. Stopping to look
around lyea smiles at Killian and Morgan. Seeing the cats tail through the back door lyea gives chase.
Hearing someone clear their throat lyea stops and looks over at the pair, Morgan cocks her head
toward the front door. Turning around lyea sees that she has left the door open, closing the door
lyea smiles giving the pair a wave.
Walking faster lyea heads to the back door. Once outside she closes the door seeing Istas sitting
there waiting for her. Just as lyea almost jumps on her Istas turns around and runs making sure to tuck
her tail.
Running down the trail Istas looks back to see where the fairy is, and turning back around she skids to a
stop barely before running into two pairs of very strong legs. Sitting on her haunches she looks up at
Nessa and Caitlin suddenly feeling the fairy run into her back.
“Oomph,” lyea lands on her back. Getting up and brushing the dirt off, the fairy looks up to a pair of
blue eyes and one pair of gray eyes. “Uh oh,” she says.
Standing up Istas watches the warriors as she walks between them with lyea following close behind
her. Turning around lyea takes flight then turns back to warriors giving them a big smile and waves as
she takes a hold of Istas tail, letting out a yell as the big cat starts to run.
Nessa turns to Caitlin. “It looks like there’s gonna be some sore bottoms in the near future.” Caitlin
just shakes her head in agreement giving Nessa a small grin.
Feeling the wind through her hair lyea grabs a hold of the cats tail with both hands as Istas picks up
speed, feeling like a kite in the wind.
Stopping where they started Istas walks up to the lake and takes a big drink. Turning around she is
suddenly feels an arm hugging her. Looking down at the cat lyea kisses her head. “You’re it.” Cocking
her head to the side Istas wraps her tail around lyea to return the hug.
Letting out a yawn the big cat lies down on the grass in the warm sun stretching. Deciding to join her
lyea lays down using Istas stomach as a pillow, letting the purring lull her to sleep.
The end.
