"A whole kilometer? That's like a marathon for a cat!"
[Host, you're doing great! Just keep going!]
"Easy for you to say! You're not the one being chased by a human Swiss Army knife!" Su Jiyai thought, her whiskers twitching with panic.
She zigzagged through the trees, hoping to throw off Jake's aim.
Behind her, she heard the whizzing of daggers slicing through the air, missing her by mere inches.
"Is this guy part ninja or something? How many daggers does he have?!"
As she ran, she couldn't help but notice how the dry leaves and twigs crackled under her paws.
She was making way too much noise.
But then again, Jake wasn't exactly trying to be stealthy either.
His heavy footsteps pounded the ground as he followed her, and he was laughing—actually laughing—like this was all some big game.
She glanced back, only to see Jake casually tossing a dagger from hand to hand as if he were considering which one to throw next.
