Sky grinned devilishly when her back was facing Loki, noting that they had arrived to their destination. She had lots planned for him. "We're here! Come on in, I hope you're not afraid of the dark!" Sky had heard that it was awfully dark the further in you went, not that she would know considering she was blind and all. She had only been in the winding, complex tunnels once, and if it wasn't for her heightened sense of smell she was sure she would still be wandering them. She bounded into the tunnel carelessly. She paused, waiting to see if he would follow her or not. If he didn't, he lost the game. Those were the silent rules, she only hoped he knew them too.

As they neared the tunnels, Loki was starting to sense her devious plan. It was probably a game of hide and seek. She meant for him to get lost. But if Loki stayed annoyingly close to her, he wouldn't get lost.
And he was never afraid of the dark. "I'm not a coward," he hissed and followed her into the cold, stone tunnel.

Sky grinned. He had lost a point. He went out of character, and he was one step closer to loosing the game. He was irritatingly close to her, and at this rate he would never get lost. She picked up the pace, basically jogging, taking every turn sharply. "Don't fall behind." She cooed. Sky was an extremely fast cat, now she just has to figure out if he was too.

Loki rolled his eyes and sped up, nearly stepping on her tail. He was told that he should be in Fireclan, due to his speed. His quick paws nearly blended into the dark as he sped up even more to trot alongside the strange cat. His fur nearly brushed hers.

Sky bit back a hiss of annoyance, nose twitching. Everything smelled the same in the stupid tunnels, other than Loki of course. She knew what she had to do though. Sky kept moving until she felt a small amount of water beneath her paws, smirking. She dropped to the ground, quickly rolling into it and covering her scent. She bounced back to her paws and began running again, using her whiskers to guide her through the tightening tunnels.

As they got lower, the tunnels got darker, and now it was almost as if Loki was as blind as the cat he was chasing. The only thing he could barely see was her white fur, but still, sometimes he thought it was an illusion.
He was surprised when suddenly the cat's warmth disappeared. He couldn't sense her, smell her, or see her anymore. He had heard a small splash, but he thought maybe that was his own paws. Then, in the distance, he heard another splash and ran toward it. "You'll have to do better than that," he called out blindly, not sure if it was her or not. In either case, he wouldn't let her win.

Sky let a wild grin spread across her face as she ran, her paw steps eerily silent in the tunnels. She kept low to the ground, making sure he couldn't hear her paw steps. He wasn't used to be blind, but she was. Her whiskers told her when to turn, and she had been memorizing every single step she took. She could go back whenever she wanted to. Sky ducked into another path, crouching low to the ground and waiting to see if he would pass by or not, her ears straining.

Loki slowed, straining his ears to hear any other sound than the trickle of water. There was nothing, nothing at all. He stopped, extremely frusterated. He wasn't like his brother, who would explode when angry. He thought through his situation. Surely, there weren't that many tunnels around. He stepped forward, feeling his way with whiskers and paws. Finally, he found a passage that seemed different from the one he'd been in.
He walked down it, a bit slowly, trying to hear any sound. Maybe a small shuffle of fur, or a breath on his leg. There! He heard a heartbeat, but another minute and it was gone. He had gotten distacted. He had no idea being blind was so hard. Loki was nearly treating his cat as if she was a mouse, and he was tracking her. He could hear the heartbeat of a mouse, what was so different about hearing one of a cats?

Sky pressed herself lower to the ground as he neared, her ears straining to keep track of him. It wasn't hard though, he wasn't trying to be quiet. This was a game of cat and mouse, but she decided to step it up a little. She waited until he kept walking, closer and closer and closer... Her lunge was silent, claws outstretched and aiming to knock him over from his side. She had the upper hand now, she had been fighting blind her whole life, he hadn't. And he also couldn't smell her, the only sense he had of her now was hearing, so she would have to remain as silent as possible.

Loki let out a hiss as the cat appeared from nowhere, nearly knocking him over. He regained balance quickly and tried lunging for her. However, this battle wouldn't be quite fair. He was used to seeing his enemies, when she wasn't. She had fought blindly, he hadn't. However, he had fought larger enemies than himself, and she was smaller.
((loki is tall, and he's a male, so im just guessing she's smaller))

Sky continued to remain silent, dodging past him as he lunged for her. She pinpointed his scent once again, focusing on the sound of his paw steps to get a clearer image of where he was. She darted forward quickly, aiming to slash her claws across his eyes before darting back. If she could truly knock out his senses, she would.

Loki barely picked up a sound of her pawsteps coming nearer. He stepped back just in time, but one of her claws barely nicked below one of his eyes. Oh, so she was trying to blind him, just as someone had done to her, he guessed.
Loki instantly tried to be quieter. This was a weird, silent battle. He strained his eyes to see her white fur in the dark. Finally, he spotted a bit of it, and circled her swiftly, with light paws. Then, he darted forward quickly for a shove that would send her off her paws.

Sky followed him with her body as he circled. He seemed to have silenced himself more, though she supposed he didn't think about the fact she relied more on his scent then the sound of his paw steps. She jerked out of the way, though she was a little too slow. He managed to hit her back leg, and she struggled to keep her balance. She hit the tunnel wall, which both managed to keep her upright and hurt her side. She shook it off and ran towards him, stepping left before suddenly jerking to the right to confuse him, aiming a bite on his shoulder and claws to his chest.

The cat seemed to know where he was, all the time. Then he thought of how he couldn't exactly scent her out, but she could him. He needed something to mask his scent from her, then she would be blinded like he was.
His shove had almost worked, but she had regained her balance quickly. He had been watching her white claws, since those seemed to be the easiest to watch. He had moved out of reach of her claws, but sharp pain shot through his shoulder as she clamped down upon it. However, now she was a bit more exposed, and he went on to try to slash her side.

Sky hissed as claws raked her side. She jerked her head back, taking off a chunk of flesh from his shoulder as she did so. She didn't move away, keeping extremely close to him. Sky reared back on her back legs, aiming to wrap her forepaws around his neck. It would be nearly impossible for him to dodge, from what she could tell they were right up against a wall.
