"May she indeed," Swiftfire murmured back. It had been a while since she had felt this spark, this want to win. Rabbit had beaten her a few times. Swift had won some too. But they had always been rather neck and neck. Never too far behind the other. She was determined to break the streak.
And if she lost? She'd only have more fire added to her will to be swifter than her rival. "On your one." Swiftfire glanced at the brown she-cat, then back ahead of her. "Three....two..." Every muscle tensed, every fiber and hair on her pelt bristled. She was ready for this.

A set of jitters ran up the molly’s spine, her paws itching to run with that fire in her belly. Casting a small gaze, Rabbitrunner shook out her pelt and winked, bracing as Swiftfire began the countdown. Three.. Her weight began to shift to her hindlegs, coiling to maximize her energy upon take-off. Two.. Preemptively, she balanced out her tail, readying it to use for steering around those tight-knit corners in the Adder Rocks. She was ready for this. She was built for the speed.
“One! Go!” A shrill yowl roared from the lanky she-cat, her hindquarters unraveling to spring forth within mere seconds and the WindClan warrior was off, dust spilling beneath her as her pawsteps thundered against the weathered, dry soil.
Racing was one of her guilty pleasures, marveling in the cool breeze that stroked through her ruffled pelt, the way things blurred past her as she ran. Rabbitrunner closed her eyes for a moment with a cheerful, thrilling racing yell. Opening her eyes once more, the warrior began to lean into a curve, lowering herself to the ground for the turn for a sprint within the curve. Her tail tipped towards the direction of her head, as racing this course taught her that the winding and sharp turns were definitely a risky play.. But, paid off well if you knew how to use them right, and the she-cat knew them well as practicing the trail was a pastime in her youth.
