BS7 - Chapter 7: Nora and Jake - Family Time
Nora dashed through the woods of their Refuge, chasing after the bouncing ball as fast as she could. The ball sped up and slowed down, erratically changing direction and bounced even on air, like magic. Clara was hot on her tail, giggling all the while.
“I’ll get it this time!” Nora said, her breaths heavy as she ran, flapping her wings for any boost to her speed.
Clara laughed. “No, I will!”
The echidna girls, Blaze and Sharona were gaining on them, but she and Clara were faster. Until the ball smacked into a tree, and bounced off, reversed direction and sped up. Nora jumped up and reached as high as she could as it flew over her, but it was just out of reach, even though she flapped her wings. She scrambled to change her direction, but now the echidnas had caught up.
“Hahaha, it’s mine!” Blaze rose her larger body high, snaking upward to grab it.
From the bushes in a blur, Aiko leaped out and snatched it from Blaze’s grasp, before running across the clearing and into another set of bushes.
“Aww…” Clara said, her shoulders slumping. “Now we’ll never catch her.”
Blaze growled and entered the bushes, while Nora and Clara did their best to take to the air and chase after her, but it was a half-hearted attempt. Aiko was just too fast, and good at hiding besides. It was why she had to count to twenty before she joined the chase!
“Let’s go see our new sisters for a bit.” Clara said, and Nora nodded.
