None Of Us Moved

I could feel my heart pounding inside of my chest as I stared down at the panther in front of me. My mouse wanted to say, 'fuck it all, every creature for itself', but I wasn't willing to give up on the other woman.

 

Crossing my arms in front of my body, I tried to ignore my nakedness. "So," I said once I was sure the words would come out the way I intended them to. I didn't need to squeak like a mouse in human form. "You are just going to let them win?"

 

I raised a brow in challenge, trying to maintain eye contact with the predator.

 

She hissed at me, and while I didn't speak cat, I could assume that there was a swear word or two in there. "And here was me thinking that you were a badass bitch who wouldn't show your belly to anyone."

 

This time, the panther let out a challenging yowl before she shifted back into her human form.
