Sunbeam Lair Take [m]e out, make me think about it

Avannon had been awake all night,her eyes refusing to close, even though her body ached for the release of sleep. The pallid female had watched from the shadows as Asterr had started, seemingly with fear but after one whiff of the female's scent she had known immediately. Avannon winced and felt a bit sorry for the female, knowing that if she washitting her heat cycle, that they would soon follow. She watched as Asterr left an uneasy feeling settling in the pit of her stomach. She stood up and followed behind her,far enough to be unseen, but close enough to follow her scent. Avannon hid in the bushes as her ears picked up the sound of a second set of paws among hers. Jolon's scent hit her nose and she winced knowing the intoxicating scent of Asterr's heat had overrun the male's thoughts. She icked up her speed as Asterr Picked up her pace, nervousness and an odd need to protect the female who was now her leader. She hid in the distance Watching the interaction between the two her hackles rising slightly. Please listen Jolon...please..  she prayed to whatever higher power there was. She didnt want to fight Jolon, not because he was larger, but because he was family.
