Snippet #2217910

Opening her eyes, Bleu stood up. She was dry now, and clean, but still craved the feeling of the cold liquid on her body. Tempted to dive into the pond, she made her way to the water's edge. Small ripples shook the water. She dipped her foot in the pond, shivers traveling up her body. The water was very cold, but incredibly refreshing. Shaking her head, she stepped out of the water. Now was not the time for relaxing.

They all had to get moving soon, or Econ would be on their tails. Bleu looked around at the pathetic group of hybrids around. All of them were injured and probably not mentally stable. At least, the ones present weren't. She noticed that they were short a hybrid or so, but didn't worry. They probably went out as a group hunting.

Thinking of hunting made her stomach growl. She didn't realize how hungry she was. The last time she had gone hunting had been on a mission, and it hadn't been for food. When she was younger, she had been let out frequently into the grounds that surrounded the government facility she was housed in, but that privilege was quickly taken away when she had tried several times unsuccessfully to escape. She brushed her hunger pains, aside, though. She didn't have time to be hungry.

As she sat back on her rock tying her shoes laces, she heard growls. Her eyebrows knit in confusion as she scanned the area. Finally, her gaze landed on Lovi, as he gripped Spot's arm. Bleu shuddered as he yelled into her face. He snarled angrily, making Bleu shake. She'd never seen him so angry. Lovi then gripped Spot at her jaw. He leaned close the hybrid, and Bleu didn't hear what he had to say.

The tiger watched as the lion took a seat on the bank of the pond. He seemed to have calmed down. Surviving was stressful enough without the added bonuses of watching over more lives and keeping them breathing.

Bleu smiled deviously to herself, then. She had an idea. Slowly, she pulled off her shoes again. The noise they made while walking would give her away. Slowly, she made her way over the sun-warmed stones. Each step was taken with caution. Quietly, she stalked behind Lovi. She had to stop to calm herself several times when she had the urge to giggle. When she was directly behind the lion, she placed her hands on his back, and pushed him with all her might, sending him sprawling into the water, with her laughing ferociously as he fell.
