Already in mid lunge Leo threw her body weight back, throwing herself severely off balance but successfully  halting her attack. Stumbling to regain her equilibrium. Leo bared her teeth in a snarl, flashing her small fangs.

She heard the pounding footsteps of the scoundrel from the spring closing in behind her. She twitched, wanting to turn around and protect herself from a possible assault, but she couldn't bring herself to take her eyes off of the pair of woman in front of her. She just knew if she looked away now the savage lady would dispose of Gwen and make for her next. After all, she was the kind of woman to use an unconscious defenseless girl as a meat shield. She decided she would just have to hope the man from the spring didn't take advantage of the situation to disable her. Her heart hammered as she reeled her brain on how to Gwen out of harms way.
