Stone Circle Steady as the beating drum

Valette fell to her side when Steph pounced her. For a moment, Steph felt a rush of victory. One day, she would realize the rush was instinctual for a predator such as herself. But, for now, it was simply fun. Her Mom didn't stay down for long, though, and was up and running back and forth.

Steph did her best to mimick Valette, but as her legs were much shorter, she didn't cover as much area as her mother. Still, she had a lot of fun trying. She thought she could pounce on her when she went into a play bow, but as Steph charged, Valette was up and running again. Steph chased after her, barking happily in their play.
