It was almost nightfall, but Sophie was burning up. The desert had been hot, but the heavy humidity of the jungle was almost worse for the woman of the tundra. A wall of exhaustion and dehydration clouded her mind as she slowly made her way deeper through the trees on her hunt for water and a place to make camp for the night. There was no way she would be able to hunt for her prey in her condition. There were all sorts of strange sounds in her ears. Some were far off, but others sounded a little too close for comfort. She had little to actually fear, though.

Winding her way through the vines and thorns in her path, she smiled with relief once she finally spotted the slight glimmer of a watering hole. Throwing herself down to her knees before it, she eagerly scooped a few handfuls of water to drink before splashing her face and neck with it, the cool water a much-needed refresher.

Not knowing the wildlife of the jungle too well besides the great tiger she was sent to retrieve, Sophie thought it best to stay off the ground, at least for the first night. She hoped she wouldn't be here long anyway, so she didn't see a need to get super cozy and spread out her things for a true camp. A tree would do quite nicely, she thought as she raised her head to scan the shadowed treetops. Finding one she thought would be safe enough, she climbed up as nimbly as she would have in her other form and set her pack against the joint of the truck and her chosen branch to make a pillow.

While the location was different, the ritual of sleeping in trees let her relax a little and gave her a small feeling of safety. She thought she would be able to at least see or hear any possible threats before they were upon her and get some rest. It'll be morning before you know it, she reminded herself. And then you'll be rested and refreshed and ready for a day on the hunt. He won't stand a chance.

The cool waters of a nearby stream helped keep the striped cat comfortable in the humid jungle as he lazily paddled on downstream. Fintan had only woken up from a lazy afternoon nap a short time ago and was still in the process of getting over her lethargy. It would not be long though before he was heeding the call of his stomach and searching for food.

As he dragged himself up onto the bank, he made a mental note to walk the perimeter of his territory in the near future. It had been a while and the last thing the male needed was a trespasser thinking they could get away with freeloading on his lands.

Without direction, Fintan wandered aimlessly, enjoying the peaceful night. Suddenly, a primate darted from cover, catching his eye and in a shot the tiger was hot on its heels. It bounded high above in the canopy, hooting and hollering in fear as it tore ahead, Fintan leaping easily in stride on the ground below, waiting for the creature to fall.

When it did not seem to be close to doing so, the tiger decided to help things along. In the blink of an eye, Fintan's powerful legs propelled him up through the air like an arrow as he launched himself into a tree, leaping up several branches on the way until he came to a sudden stop face to face with something that did not belong.

His whiskers twitched as he bared his teeth in a warning snarl. It seemed he had been too reminiscent in his duties after all. Had he acted sooner there would not be some human in his tree. Meal long forgotten, the tiger hissed, his tail snapping angrily from side to side in agitation.

She had nearly fallen asleep to the sounds around her until something different set her on alert. A primate screaming as it tore through the treetops above her caused her to raise her head in interest. It seemed strange to her, but she supposed it might have spotted some far-off predator. She didn't think it really mattered to her anyway. At least until her branch shook violently from the sudden addition of a tiger snarling in her face. She couldn't let her excitement blind her, though. She had no way of knowing if this was the tiger she was after. She highly doubted there was only one in this region. For now, though, she realized she should probably focus more on surviving this encounter to even be able to investigate more later.

Calmly staring at him, Sophie quickly reached out and punched him on the nose before making a quick grab for her bag and launching herself out of the tree. Making a run for it might not have been the best decision, but it was the only one that would buy her time to think of a plan or find a place to hide. She tried to be as quiet as possible and keep her path constantly changing hoping to shake him if he gave chase; she wasn't going to take the time to look back to find out.

GoblinFae

Pain exploded in his face and tears welled in his eyes as Fintan reflexively backed away from the source of pain. 'She punched me! The little bitch actually had the gall to hit me!' A feral scream belted from his chest as he easily dropped back down to the ground and bolted after her.

Fintan at least had some advantage over her for while she was fast and had a headstart, the powerful beast knew this land better than her. This was his home and he was going to defend it until his last breath.

While she zigged and zagged, trying to lose him, the tiger put all his efforts into trying to corral her away from areas that she would likely be able escape from him. He would surge forward and scream from either side of her hoping to force her in a new direction before falling back a bit to recover before the next jump.

Juno

Though she thought her escape was looking like a success, the shifter had no idea she was unconsciously being driven away from the right path by the tiger. She desperately tried to keep calm, but she was on high alert and just praying he would not catch her and maul her before she was able to find somewhere to hide.

Every little trip over roots or stumble from running through vines had her feeling more and more helpless even though she powered on. She had no idea where she was going or what her plans were once she got there, but she was determined to lose this cat.

GoblinFae

He egged her onward, herding her away from tight spaces or bodies of water that would lead him to slow down or lose her scent. Then as strictly as he had pursued her, Fintan came to an abrupt stop. The human had crossed over into another's territory and therefore was no longer his problem.

Up and down the tiger paced the line, watching her and yowling at her in warning to keep running. If she stayed clear of his lands then that would be enough for him. He stayed put though, unwillingly to leave in case she decided to turn around and sneak back in.

Juno

Suddenly there was no longer the sound of the tiger giving chase behind her. Running several hundred feet before she allowed herself to look back over her shoulder to check, Sophie was surprised to see that he had indeed stopped chasing her and instead was making what she could only assume were warning sounds. Puzzled, the shifter took her chance to climb up into the nearest tree to watch him, wary of what he might do next and not willing to take her chances with turning her back on him right now.

Panting and curling up to hug her pack, she stared down at the striped cat with pure confusion as things finally began to settle in her mind. This tree would probably do just as well as the one she'd been in, but she didn't understand why he had taken such issue with her being in that particular tree. Determined to keep an eye on him until he left, Sophie settled in for what she assumed might be a long, silent battle.

GoblinFae

Fintan worked on catching his breath, his chest heaving with massive breaths. He remained on the ground in case she decided to make a break for his territory once more. Seeing her appear to settle in for the night in a tree only served to further irritate him.

Trying to burn off some steam he paced back and forth along the edge of his lands all the while staring up at her and occasionally sending off a warning cry to try and scare her off. She was far too close for comfort in his opinion.

Eventually he tired though and sat down to keep vigil. Fintan had resolved to stay the whole night if he had to to ensure that she would not intrude into his territory again.

Juno

She found it peculiar that he still seemed agitated but would not come any closer to try to chase her away again. Perhaps he had simply tired, though she worried for what that might mean once he regained his energy. She knew he wasn't very happy with her being there, but she did not understand why. It had not yet dawned on her that he might have been defending what he considered to be his territory.

She stayed motionless as she waited, watching the jungle become darker as night fell upon the land. As a human she could barely see anything that wasn't a few feet around herself, and she knew she was at a disadvantage for that. Unfortunately, though, she felt the need to move for she did feel trapped in the tree.

Slowly climbing down and trying to be as quiet as possible, the shifter woman tiptoed her way west with the hope of getting out of range of the tiger's hearing before attempting to make her way back through the jungle.

GoblinFae

Despite her attempts at silence, Fintan still heard and watched with wary eyes to see what she was up to. She went west, forcing Fintan to follow in turn. If the human was intent on walking his border then he was going to ensure that she did not cross back into it.

On silenter paws than her clomping feet, he stalked close behind in the shadows, his ears constantly shifting forward and backwards listening for any signs of a trap. One could never be too careful these days. He would not put it past his brother to resort to such tactics in order to start something.

Juno

 A twinge of fear entered her heart when she realized she was being followed again. She felt hunted, felt threatened, and it was not a comfortable place to be while stumbling through this unfamiliar land. She was not as graceful here as she was in her snowy home, she knew, but she was certain this striped animal was planning to make her food, else she didn't think he would follow for this long.

Blindly wandering deeper into the jungle's shadows she paused for a short rest at a stream in her path. Kneeling to drink, she turned slightly so that her back was not to the direction she'd come, sensing the larger cat was lurking somewhere nearby. Splashing her face with water she bided her time, waiting to see if it might be safe for her to move on or if the cat was intending on corralling her again.

GoblinFae

Fintan growled deep within his throat at seeing her stopping so close to his territory. She was only safe from him running her off again because she was on the wrong half of the river. From where he stood and deeper into the jungle was his part of the river but upstream belonged to another and therefore made the intruder someone else's problem.

Her being so close to his lands concerned him and kept him on her proverbial tail. But between his chase of her earlier and the heat of the summer sun, Fintan was sweating and wanted nothing more than to dive into the cool waters of the river for a drink and swim.

After a great deal of furious pacing he finally gave into his urges and dove into the waters from a tree high above, creating a mighty splash not far from where the girl was. He hoped that by doing so perhaps he could spook her off for good as well as earn himself a bit of fun for all the troubles she had caused him.

Juno

The crackling of broken twigs was her first warning as a dark figure flew through the branches above. The loud splashing sent her scrambling back from the riverbank but it did not shield her from the small wave that soaked her front. Convinced he would be swimming right for her, ready to make a meal out of her, she was thankful that she thought he'd missed his mark in swooping down upon her.

Scrambling to her feet she hastily grabbed her pack and shot out into the cover of the trees again without a word, oblivious to the fact that she was reentering his territory as she ran alongside the river. Once she felt she might have enough distance from him, though, thinking a waterlogged cat would be slower than her no matter what, she quickly shifted into her faster feline form. She was intent on outrunning him and finding a safe place to hide for the rest of the night, and she was certain that it would cause him to lose her more human scent if nothing else. Carrying her pack by its strap hooked upon her teeth, the snowy cat bounded on paws much quieter than bumbling feet. Her light green eyes were wide with concern and on high alert to her surroundings as she searched for somewhere she might be able to take cover for the remainder of the night.

With much-improved eyesight she unknowingly wandered towards the heart of this poor cat's land. The spreading silence around her gave her a false sense of comfort and security and she began to slow her frantic pace to a gentle lope until an old, fallen tree caught her eye. The hollowed out space would be perfect for her to sneak into to curl up for the rest of the night, or so she was accustomed to in her homeland. Sophie circled it once and then twice before she darted inside and lay flat on her belly. Panting, she tried to quiet her heaving breaths and listen. Praying her hiding spot was well chosen, she set her pack between her paws and hugged it defensively against her chest. She would not feel entirely safe unless a good amount of time passed without hearing anything of that blasted tiger.

GoblinFae

He screeched his rage as he swam through the water, cooling off while fuming at her insolence and persistence. When he felt he was calm enough to pursue her, Fintan shook off his thick, water-logged coat before bolting after her scent right up to a hallowed out trunk.

Prepared to spook the now obviously cornered human, the fierce tiger was in for the greatest shock of his life when he was met with not the pathetic hairless wonder of an idiot but instead a rather fluffy white ball of...fluff.

Fintan bared his teeth, growling softly as his tail whipped about in agitation. The scent was confusing him as this was obviously not the prey he had been after but yet this is where the trail ended and with no scents of blood or signs of carnage he doubt the human had managed to get herself eaten already. No, instead Fintan was faced with a second problem on his territory and truth be told he was not sure whether he was more intrigued or disturbed by this one.

It took so little time for him to find her, and that was so very disheartening, but she wasn't going to let it show. The growling was answered with a hiss as she flattened her ears to her skull. Feeling cornered, she hooked her pack on her teeth and rose to a low crouch as she slowly began backing out the other end of the tree trunk. Her eyes trained on him, she growled and hissed in warning entirely fed up with being chased by him and wanting him to stay back so she could leave in peace.

As soon as she was out of the trunk she was off once more, attempting to make her escape deeper into the jungle on graceful paws instead of clumsy feet, still having no idea she was well within the bounds of his territory.

GoblinFae

'Oh no you don't!' he thought, diving into and through the tree trunk to follow her in hot pursuit. With knowledge of the terrain and his territory in his favor, Fintan easily ran abreast of the female, nudging his side into hers as they ran in hopes of throwing her off balance. His curiosity had been peaked the moment she latched onto the rucksack and taken off with it, making him wonder what would happen when he tried to take it from her.

Sophie rumbled unhappily once she realized she was not only not shaking him off her trail but he had caught up again. The nudging and bumping caused her to stumble and trip and nearly fall for the pack she stubbornly refused to let go, but she pressed on and ran even faster, her tail whipping about to help her keep her balance. The smaller leopard growled and hissed awkwardly at him for the weight on her jaw.

At least he wasn't outright attacking her. But why did he have to be so annoying? Couldn't he just leave her alone?!

Her defiance only served to anger him and Fintan was left with no other choice but to act and act quickly. He launched himself at her with a might shriek, landing on her back heavily, his teeth seeking purchase in the scruff of her furry neck as he growled fiercely in warning. If she so much as thought about resisting he would shake her until her eyes rolled about her skull, of that he was sure.

Juno

When his incessant pestering ceased momentarily she thought she was pulling ahead and would be in the clear. His scream had her tilting her head just in time to see him leaping for her. Yowling and trying to scoot out from under him and away, Sophie was yanked back sharply by the teeth locking on her scruff.

Shrieking in frustration and pain for being so abruptly stopped she toppled to the ground and laid flat on her belly. Fearing for her life in this position she rumbled and growled as loudly as she could to announce her displeasure but did nothing to resist him so openly asserting dominance and control over her.

Locking her teeth around her pack even tighter for fear of losing it in a fight, Sophie braced herself, her lean muscles coiling in tension and anger at the larger cat taking advantage of his size.

Fintan completely flattened himself out over her, hunkering down as low as he could with his full weight to prevent her from deciding she could make yet another dash for it. With a warning growl and a tug at her scruff he used one paw to try and reach around in front of her to swipe the bag away from her. It was now his rightful property given that the human female had gone missing in his territory and left her sack behind. This female could just shove off for all he cared. He was the king of his jungle and woe to she who tried to stop him from taking what was his.
