The figured stilled, an ear twitched at the sound of disturbance in the foliage ahead. She crouched lower to the ground, her muscles bunching, ready for a pounce. Something or someone was in her clan's territory. She stayed silent a moment longer until a twig snapped to her right. Instinct sprang into action as she launched herself at the intruder. A growl rippled from her throat and the sound of gun shots filled the silent forest.

Golden eyes cracked open in slight confusion. The ground around the large she-cat was cold and had already chilled her to the bone. A bright light shown directly at her, making it hard for her to adjust her eyes. Strange smells and sounds assaulted her senses.
After a few more minutes, she was able to focus and found herself in a barred cage. Her weapons and armor had been removed, leaving her bare with only the belt of cloth around her waist and a ring on her tail. Sathura jumped to her feet as fast as her dizzy head would allow. She had to catch herself on the bar of the cage and growled in frustration. Her ear twitched to the sound of laughing and looked to see several men watching her. From their body movements and speech, they obviously had something planned for her, whether it be put on an auction block, or privately given to someone in particular.
