Allowing her instincts to take over, Mei found her movements to be surprisingly fluid. Be it over the stony paths, under the rocky crags, and through dirty tunnels and crevices, she was able to manuever though them with utmost to ease.

However, Mei focus was suddenly disturbed by a familiar scent and the sound of footsteps approaching her from behind. It was a dire rat Mei was acquainted with, at least in appearance. They came from the same litter; it would be correct to refer to her as Mei's sister. Mei was certain that she was alone when she had left the den; her sister being able to catch up just showed off how quick she actually was. Mei had little interest in her for now, but her speed could come in handy later on.

Running side by side, Mei remained quiet and continued the hunt for their mother.

Everything happened so quickly, but given the situation, Mei's optionns were limited. The moment her mother had been bitten by the massive lizard, driven by her instincts, she immediately sprung into action. 

[I][color=#C9A281]"No. Don't. We just have to run away!"[/color][/I] Mei thought to herself, but unfortunately, her body failed to listen.

Lunging forward and foaming by the mouth, she let out  a feral hiss before bearing both her fangs and claws at her mother's assailant.

[I][color=#C9A281]"Stop! I said stop!"[/color][/I] Her screams echoed inside her head as her body continued to move by itself.
