Aurora staggered toward the boarder, her weight upon her shoulder slowing her down immensely as three of her wings beat strongly to keep her upright. Her senses were hyperactive, waiting for the moment that the wraith would come flying out of the shadows. As she limped through the forest, the faerie pondered over her continued existence. She should be dead right now, slowly dying from the inside as the wraith's blade did it's work. The only thing that had saved her life was a quickly cobbled together plan that would have failed, had the wizard not come in to save their asses. A rustle of grass behind her alerted her to a presence, but it wasn't the wraith. Phantoms couldn't touch the world, so who- As she turned to see who it was, a well placed kick caught her in the side, causing the brunette to lose the air in her lungs and drop the princess onto the ground next to her. Falling to the ground onto her back, Aurora watched a blade sink itself into her working main wing, keeping a scream from releasing itself from her mouth as followed the source of the weapon to see the vampire from before. 'Basil'. A grin appeared on her face, despite the advantage the aged vampire had gained from the current arrangement. Basil might see her as an easy target, a wing unable to move and leg as limp as a worm, but he had forgotten one thing. She still had arms that worked as well as any other, and a skull that was as hard as any other. She quickly grabs the wrist of hand that held the blade with her right hand, keeping the elbow near the man's chest for the most leverage, as well as wrapping her remaining leg around his waist, pulling him to the ground from his waist, and keeping the vampire close and unable to move away from her. Her left hand grabbed the back of the vampire's head, the arm resting on the man's shoulder to chop into his neck should her try to pull away. This was all done in a singular, smooth motion, as if she had done this hold many times before. She was very sure that she was stronger than the aged being, and had a much greater leverage from the ground than Basil did from his knees. [Color=pink]"Hi, Basil~"[/color] Aurora greeted the vampire that just wounded her, the grip on his wrist tightening enough that a few popping sounds echoed through the air. [color=pink]"Didn't anyone tell you that it was a bad idea to try and jump a lady?"[/color] Her mouth widened to a cheshire-grin, the blue orbs within her head filled with madness. Before the vampire could reply, she smashed her forehead towards the vampire's nose, certain to injure, if not break the appendage. She doesn't let go, however, keeping her grip on him as firm as ever, and waited for Basil to speak up for his actions after recovering from the blow. [@ArenaSnow]
