Tapestry Drabbles

Predator

The lavender curve of hip and spine bunched. They were back again, dancing across the walls, the ceiling, the floor. Everywhere. Infiltrating. Invading. Her territory.

The thought they were safe from challenge. That they stood unopposed because none had the strength. None had the courage.

None but Catseye.

The beguiling little globes of yellow and orange twirled across the carpet. The largest one, the Leader, danced tantalizingly close to pouncing range. Across the floor, pause, then on and up the wall. Perfect, almost perfect--

THERE!THERETHERETHERETHERE!!!!!!

In a whiplash blur of tail and sinew and fury Catseye flung herself, full-tilt, at the unsuspecting ball of light.

The thud was satisfactorily solid. Alison serenely lifted her arm out of the sunlight and smirked.

"Best thing about this bracelet."
