"Are you scared?"
He heard the cheetah say. He swept all the confetti of rage in him into a whole and pushed the cheetah sideways.
The Cheetah rolled away willingly and assumed the size twas holding before.
He tried to stand up. He stood. His eyes were alert as well as his sense of judgement, yet he had no idea what he was supposed to do.
He stared blankly at the Cheetah. He knew who was camouflaging. The lady. But he couldn't make meaning of what was happening.
Some whiles ago, the witch was a friend to him, but at that moment, she was his enemy?
He was hoping that he was just making up thoughts and what was happening or would happen wasn't even close to what he was thinking.
"Why would I be afraid. I'm undaunted."
He thought it right to reply her question the first time.
He didn't want to give the lady the impression that he was afraid. He hated admitting his fear irrespective of whatever height twould take him.
