Jay continued down the tunnel, the faint light gradually fading until it's dark as her pelt. She can't see anything, but instead feels along the walls. Jay feels cramped, squished, and even the presence on another. She shakes her head, determined it's just her brain's failed attempt at soothing her raw nerves.
But as she continues, the presence grows, until just before she exits. She turns her head, someone is talking. Jay's eye's widen in astonishment at the beast near her. The tail, piercing green eyes. Everything seems so..familiar.
The girl listens to what the man has to say. "Save her."
Jay's wing looks ahead, blinking at the blinding light. "Save who?" she asks, turning to see no one. She shakes her head, trying to decipher what just happened. "Great, now what?" she mumbles. As she continues out into the blistering heat, she realizes that she's in a desert.
To the one side, there's more desert, to the other, mountain. Jay looks between the paths, comparing possible dangers. She chooses the mountain path, thinking that it might be cooler. As she continues, her assumptions are soon proved wrong.
Jay slowly tredges along the trail, gravity begging ant tugging at her tiny hooves. "Why'd I choose this way?" she questions herself. Her left hind slips, resulting in her right hip smarting against the smooth stone of the path. Jay's Wing swiftly git up, resulting in a flirt with death.
"Stupid piece of-" but she got cut off by a scream. In horror, she whipped around. A slender, tawny pelt pounced on her. Jay's Wing couldn't tell if she screamed or if it was the creature again. Claws, sharper than the stones ebbing their way into her side raked down her shoulder. She rolled, the cougar now under her.
Jay's Wing rose, studdying the mysterious animal briefly before lunging. Her shoulder searing with pain, she landed a blow on it's box like head. But she had been careless about protecting her underside. The feline bit her stomach, but her blow knocked it'd head down. Restulting in a nasty bite to her leg.
Rearing in pain, she swiftly turned, her size nearly matching that of her opponent. one versus one. She kicked the cougar. It flew off the trail, landing with a deep thud in the sand and rocks below. Slowly, Jay peered over the edge, satisfied with the now still cougar.
She limped along, both leg and shoulder bleeding. Jay stared blankly as she reached the end of the trail, shock an bloodloss seeping in. She did notice, however, a cool and welcoming oasis. She went and laid in the shade of a palm, breathing coming in rasps.
