Ravensblood Forest one fish, two fish

meredith was close behind, slicing through the water like a blade, her breath steady, her muscles burning with the effort. she wasn’t about to let him get away that easy.

you’re all talk, firefly! she called after him, voice sharp with challenge, lips curling in a wicked grin. but we both know you ain't fast enough to outrun me!

she surged forward, pushing against the current, the rush of the river roaring in her ears. she could see the shift in his movements, the way his gaze flicked ahead, the way his body angled toward something unseen. planning something. she didn’t trust that look one damn bit.

her eyes narrowed, calculating. oh, i see what you're doin', she muttered under her breath, smirking. she didn’t know what he had up his sleeve, but she had no intention of being caught off guard.

he thought he could outmaneuver her? fine. she welcomed the challenge.

with one last powerful kick, she lunged, teeth flashing, reaching for the tip of his tail as the bend loomed closer. gotcha, bastard!
