Sister Samurai

"Aliens. Aliens everywhere. Living among us, stealing our young and controlling our movements," a soft voice whispers from somewhere uncomfortably close. Your head whips around instinctively, ready to protect yourself, but you're stunned when you find another muzzle mere millimetres from your own. You hadn't even realised there was another lion there and you can feel your fur bristling unpleasantly in alarm. Eeeep!

You stare at this weird lioness in shock and she stares right back, her glistening blue eyes boring deep into your own. She appears completely undaunted by your obviously larger larger size and rippling muscles and says nothing. Just stares. Not even blinking. Then she smiles, baring her pearly white fangs as she gives a short, harsh cackle of pleasure that catches you off guard.
"I see you've prepared," she whispers before slinking back into the shadows of the forest plants, her tail batting your chin alluringly as she turns to leave. The shadows of the trees and foliage dance and caress over the strange females' coat, melding and molding until she's all but invisible to the naked eye, making you realise why you hadn't noticed her approach to begin with. The strange scents of the forest have dulled your sense of smell and the weird birds in the canopy are making too much noise to hear anything over their raucous cries.
Suddenly you're all too aware of your surroundings and how a thousand different pairs of eyes could be watching you intently at any given second without you even being aware of it. You try not to run as you make a hasty retreat. The less dense fringes of the forest are a much safer, friendlier place to be for travellers such as yourself.
