Phoenix Maplewood nobody with a body can reach ya

Thinking she would be fast enough to catch the thief, Tavi was surprised when her lungs began to ache; she tasted copper at the back of her throat, and her tongue lolled out as she tore after the stranger. By the time she reached the edge of the swampland, her head was low and she was panting hard. The thief had vanished in to the muck - she thought she saw their silhouette narrowing in the corner of her vision - and for a minute all Tavi could do was fight to regain her breath. When she lifted her head, it was to the sound of an angry shout - the voice familiar. The girl's fur spiked when she saw the alpha female charging towards her, and shrank back from her, stumbling a bit in the slop of the wetlands foliage, only to catch sight of another intruder just as Saena careened by her.

Now was not the time to rest, then. She launched herself in to a jostling run, coming up beside the alpha and directing herself in line with the new intruder. This one was different; this one was warm toned and had a layered scent, indicating it was a pack wolf. Had this stranger been working in tandem with the rogue she had nearly caught? Tavi didn't want to waste time asking questions, so she chose to be on the defensive - snapping her teeth at the stranger whenever she came close to contact.
