A/N: This chapters contains some VERY mild spoilers for Sea of Swords (references to the scene)... They have a food fight in the book. There, I’ve said it. Burn me at the stake...

Chapter 6: The Wrath From Above

“There..,” Drizzt muttered, pointing in the direction of a small cave.
Catti-brie nodded, flashing the elf a smile. They had worked out their little scheme only shortly after they had found the yetis’ trail, and both had looked forward to trying it out. The plan was simple, elegant, and yet surprising devious in its design. It was at times as these that Catti-brie had to admit Drizzt sometimes frightened her.
The drow elf had summoned Guenhwyvar some time ago, and the panther was already in position. Catti-brie handed Drizzt Taulmaril along with two arrows and a brief kiss, before he, too, scaled the wall around the entrance to the cave. Catti-brie smiled when he was in place, receiving an encouraging waving, before she stepped into the cave, taking care to make as much noise and disturbance as possible. She smirked, thinking that not even her father would have been able to make the same amount of noise she was at the moment.
As one could have expected, it only took a few moments before four yetis appeared in the passage, looking more than mildly surprised. Catti-brie made a frightened squeal like the one Regis had made when encountering Artemis Enteri, turned on her heel and broke into a run towards the exit. And, predictably, a roar sounded behind her, and then the thumbing sound of feet against stone as the yetis took up pursuit. She saw a dead yeti lying some yards from the entrance, and, when looking at the blackened, still smoking hole in its chest, it was not hard to figure out had had felled the beast.
As soon as she had cleared the entrance, Taulmaril dropped down from above, safely landing in her arms, and she immediately tossed herself sideways. The yetis, not quite having understood that their prey had changed direction, continued their forward charge, and suddenly found an armed drow and a panther dropping from the sky. Two of the yetis were dead before the rest discovered what had happened; Catti-brie’s arrow took out the third, and the last one did not last must longer.
“Easy,” Drizzt commented, wiping his blade on the fallen beasts’ white fur.
“We need ta find a couple o’ giants next time,” Catti-brie grinned.
“Hook horrors,” the black elf sniggered.
“Dragons,” the human laughed, catching on to the joke.
“Demons!” Drizzt exclaimed, dramatically waving a scimitar in the air as if fighting an invisible foe.
“Gods!” she giggled.
“ME!!!” the drow suddenly yelled, launching himself forward and tackled Catti-brie, throwing both of them to the ground, both laughing so hard that there was a small chance they would be able to stand on their legs anyway.
They wrestled on the ground, laughing and grinning as they fought for the upper hand, watched by a calm, uninterested Guenhwyvar - as a mother would watch her immature children play. Before long, however, Drizzt had, through his stronger yet not much heavier frame, managed to pin Catti-brie beneath him, firmly sitting on her legs.
“Ye know, I have a feelin’ that we’ve tried this ‘fore,” she grinned, pushing up to press a tender kiss against the black elf’s nose. “Ye yield?”
Drizzt smiled.
“To you, always,” he replied, moving off her and, sitting on his knees, offered her a hand to get up.

She accepted the hand, though she did not use it to pull herself upright. Instead, she tugged hard, pulling the otherwise nimble drow off balance and send him face-first onto the ground. Before he managed to get up again, she quickly rolled over and sat on his back, using most of her weight to keep his hands pinned above his head.
“I remember this,” Drizzt’s muffled voice sounded, as he turned his head and spat out a string of hair. “Only with Guenhwyvar sitting on me.”
Catti-brie laughed, remembering the situation clearly, and unconsciously released her grip around the elf’s wrists just the slightest. She did not discover, however, until Drizzt suddenly bucked beneath her, throwing her off him, and leaped to his feet as quick as a deer. Mimicking her father’s annoyed growl, Catti-brie rose, carefully, eying the smirking drow to avoid a second tackle.
However, seeing Guenhwyvar close to her right side, she found it was her turn to smirk and, after she had asked the panther to do so, Drizzt once again found himself on the ground, this time held down by Guenhwyvar’s huge paws.
“That’s cheating,” he merely stated.
“No, ‘tis called winnin’,” Catti-brie grinned. “Ye yield?”
“I thought I’d already said that..,” the drow muttered.
The woman giggled and squatted down on the ground next to him.
“Ye said ye’d yield ta me,” she admitted. “But ye didn’t say anythin’ ‘bout Guen, an’ me’s thinkin’ if ye’d do the same ta her…”
“She’d squeeze me if I don’t!” the drow protested, kicking wildly with his legs.
“Bah. Just let ‘im up, Guen. We outta make sure that there ain’t no more yetis in the cave anyway,” she said, patting the giant cat’s flank once more.
Guenhwyvar yawned, making a grand show of cleaning a paw, before she finally obliged, allowing Drizzt to get back to his feet. Drizzt only grabbed around Catti-brie, giving her a slight tickle, before he disappeared into the cave with a snigger, scimitars drawn and ready in hand. Smiling, Catti-brie placed an arrow on Taulmaril’s string, imagining how Drizzt’s face would look if she planted an arrow in the wall above his head, though she decided it would be wiser to keep the arrow ready, just in case they should be ambushed.
The tunnel rapidly grew darker, so dark that Catti-brie found it difficult to keep up with Drizzt. The drow often looked over his shoulder to ensure she was with him, and she could see that his eyes glowed with their lavender spark – a sign that he was using his infravision, and she cursed herself for not having brought the Cat’s Eye along. Often they passed small caves to the sides, filled with what the yetis had not been able to eat (according to Drizzt – Catti-brie could see nothing more than the reflection whenever the drow’s eyes fell on something lustrous).
Suddenly, some form of creature rose along the right side of the passage, close to the wall, so brightly coloured that Catti-brie had only little trouble seeing details in its scaled hide. But, seeming oblivious to its existence, Drizzt continued forwards, his head still turning this way and that as if in search of enemies. He was only a few feet from the beast now, and Catti-brie could see it curling up, preparing for the attack…

A/N: Uh,oh… Have Drizzt gone blind? Is Catti-brie seeing things? What did Bruenor plan? Find out in the next chapter! So R&R - else I won''t update... *evil smirk*
