Truly, she hoped that they could out run the Marrok. Saddened, Avina looked down at the floor. If he found her with Devin, she would be forced to kill him. Avina would rather take her own life, rip her own heart out of her chest, than kill him. This connection she had with this vampire was unlike anything she had ever experienced or heard of before. With ease, he was able to tear down her walls that she had spent centuries building, but it was more than physical or emotional. It was unexplainable. [color=aquamarine]“Let us hope so.”[/color] She whispered more to herself then to him.

Avina put everything she felt into her wolf. Her fear, her confusion, her attraction, and her anger all filled the beast until the She Wolf was near a full outrage.  Once again, they missed and Devin pinned them to the ground. Instead of feeling fear or anger, excitement ran down their body as his hand gently stroked their fur. Turning their head, they nipped at his hand just hard enough to break skin. Then he was off of them and they scrambled to their feet and looked around the meadow only to see nothing. [i]Up[/i]. Avina whispered. They looked up at the tree and narrowed their eyes.

While the leg was still tender and healing, it was not pain they could not handle. However, they had a feeling that if they acted injured then Devin would come running to their rescue. After all, he had expressed his desire to protect them before. Their nose hit the dirt hard and a rock caught the side of their face, cutting the skin under the fur as they allowed the whole weight of their body to fall forward towards the ground. Dirt lifted around their body as it landed, and they made sure to keep their [i]injured[/i] leg tucked at an awkward angle. A voluntary, high pitched wine came from their mouth as they closed their eyes tightly. Their ears stayed alert, listening for any movement while blood pooled around their face.
