curiosity killed the cat, but not Felicula

[redhead14]

The merchants selling goods trying to get buyers to pay way more for an item than it was really worth, children running around playing tag and stealing an apple or two form the fruit stand exotic and not so exotic animals being paraded around, the familiar hustle and bustle of everyday life in the market place by the port of Paliwan came as pestering sounds to Felicula's sensitive ears. People gathered around the large cage to get a glimpse at the exotic cat, she snarled at a few who got too close but she was changed so there was no way of escaped...or so they thought. " Come take a look at this beautiful Amur leopard. She is one of the last few on this planet" called out the captain of the kings fleet, a ship that did not live up to its name " rarest of them all and soon to be the new addition to a exotic collector how is paying top dollar for her" he continued to boast about his cargo. * what have i gotten myself into* she thought to herself as she laid her medium sized head on to her paw watching the world outside the wooden and metal cage go by planning her escape.

Captain Killian McLean

As the sea sloshed against the strong wood of the massive ship, Killian stood at the helm of the Lovely Destroyer. This ship had lost no battle, felt no crash, never lost a crew member. All because of it's faithful captain. The young man stood at six feet two inches as he stood calmly steering his battleship. Being young didn't make him any less lethal, or any less charming. He had these mesmerizing eyes that could almost enchant any woman if given the right look. His leather tunic sat loosely against his chest, unbuttoned to the third button to show off his firm chest muscles just a bit. He called this a 'sneak peek', but he could call it anything and it would catch the attention of many people. Now though, he was hoping to not have much attention  drawn to him and his crew. While anchoring his ship a small ways away, the Captain let go of the helm and walked to his spotting man. The man, knowing his job, began listing things on the dock. But one thing caught Killian's ear. Jaguar. What? Those were some of the rarest creatures in this area. So looking up from his crossed arms he yelled out the orders, silent to any on the port, "Bring me the jaguar, loot whatever else you want lads! Just please, don't get killed me laddie's. Now go." Watching on the edge of the mighty ship, Killian watched them take all but one of the boats to the dock and make a stupid decision of a direct approach. Smacked his forehead on the hard oak, the captain swung over the edge of his ship and into the last boat. Then he rowed to the docks, the crew immediately stopping the fighting as their captain neared them. Pulling his razor sharp cutlass from his belt he called out, after hearing a few whispers, "Aye, it is I, Captain Killian of that fair boat. Now. We will being taking some of your fine merchandise then be on our merry way, please don't give me a reason to slit your throat in public." As the shopkeeper backed up, Killian nodded to his men and they all grabbed the gold and tossed it to Killian before they loaded the jaguar onto one boat and rowed away. With a final nod at the men on the port, Killian loaded onto the last boat and re-boarded his ship. Then he cheered with his crew before kneeling onto one leather covered knee and peering into the cage at the jaguar, then he nodded while whispering to the animal, "Your a pretty beast aren't you?" Then he just waved his men to their spots and set sail into the open ocean while leaving the jaguar a few feet away in its cage so he could watch it.

Felicula's large pink amber eyes had just began to just as she tire of hearing the people talk about her as if she was just an item, but suddenly her attention was taken form her rest as the sounds of pirates raiding the port came to her ears. Cula raised from the bottom of her cage to get a better look at was going on around her, her cat eyes scanned the area seeing men coming off a large ship that was very impressive looking. Her long tail swished back and forth as she waited for the people to look away from her cage, once she saw her opportunity, felicula turned into her human form snapping the chains from the leather collar they had put on her, but quickly changed back as the man called captain Killian's men came for her. Felicula growled as they moved her cage a bit roughly onto their ship, she paced slightly once her cage was set aboard the ship. She rolled her eyes at the men cheering, but soon a figure dropped in front of her cage, Cula watched him making eye contact before lunging at the bars that held her in this prison. Her ears tucked to her head as she growled her disapproval of being called a beast even if it was correct.

As the creature lashed at him, Killian chuckled and asked her, "Would you prefer lady or miss?" Then he just laughed at himself, this might turn out to be a fun loot. Maybe he wouldn't have it skinned just yet, only time could tell when that pelt would stay on the body or get stuffed and be Killians new rug. Watching the jaguar closely, the captain steered his ship into open sea with the waves crashing against the sides but here some may get seasick, his crew just stood at their posts singing their sea-songs off key. A sly grin came over his face, which ended up being his normal grin, observing the ship with pride. Then just looked over at the jaguar, "Its somethin' ain't it?" Chuckling at himself he shook his head, stupid, jaguars couldn't understand English. If so, damn...then he could get good pay out of the beast.

(Sorry its a bit shorter ))

The leopardess stood her ground as she glared at the human male. There was a look in her bright amber eyes that basically gave the answer to him. Cula sat down but did not let her eyes leave the male only to glare and growl at the next human to pass too closely to her cage. As the ship began to move, Felicula laid down placing her head on her paws trying to relax as she looked for ways to escape. She watched the crew run around the ship working and singing, thought they tended to be off key, their singing was not that bad. Cula had began to close her amber eyes when she heard the captains comment, She only opened one eye nearest to him before turning her rump towards him to watch the crew.
