[i]Edward neared Ophelia's crouched body quickly, and she took off away from him in a sprint. From outside, she would look like just blurs, and she neared the wall of fire. She knew the wolves didn't like it one bit, and hoped that her speed mixed with Edward's want to kill her, would make him falter and go into the flames, at least a little. He wasn't moving as quickly as he could be, due to the arrow head in between his ribs. But he still made it to her in a decent amount of time. As soon as she was just close enough to the flames to feel them just barely lick her armor, she made an immediate right turn, a full 90 degree angle and took a few quick steps that way. She watched as Edward's muzzle dipped into the flames, the fur on his face singing and burning the skin beneath. He retreated just as quickly as his face entered, and turned towards Ophelia. She stood still for a moment, hearing Jax shout to her and Roxas to speed things up. This made Ophelia laugh slightly, given the circumstances. Sometimes things like this took time, but Ophelia looked through the crowd of wolves, who were now turning their attention to Jax. Shoot. Ophelia breathed in, and she could smell Jax's blood clear as day. She did need to hurry it up, she thought. [color=6ecff6]"Let's end this,"[/color] Ophelia said to Edward again. His yellow eyes were intense on her, and she stood firm. But as she stared him down, a random, younger wolf with much less experience chose to challenge her, without her knowledge. She was knocked down suddenly onto her face and stomach, and she could feel teeth digging into her left shoulder. Ophelia held back a scream of pain, knowing it would only distract the others from their tasks. But she could feel the venom being pumped into her body, despite the fact she knew it wouldn't do anything to her. She reached back and behind her head, which was against the ground, and grabbed at the wolf's scruff of her collar, then pulled her down and forward towards Edward, who seemed to have not moved still. Though Ophelia knew this all only happened in a matter of a few moments. Before Ophelia let go of the younger wolf, she changed her grip on her and snapped her jaw apart fully, then let her crash into Edward. Before she knew it though, Edward was in front of her, grabbing her and hauling her up off the ground. Ophelia could only do so much with her weapons, though she was talented with them. She did her best fighting when it was with her natural abilities. Her shoulder wound was bleeding profusely, the wolf venom stopping it from healing quickly like it normally would. Her arms were trapped in the claws of the monster that held her, but she kicked out against his ribs with two sharp blows. He let her go, and she moved quickly again, climbing up and onto his back, just as she had done with the wolf in the forest. Her arms wrapped around his throat, and she began to squeeze, blocking off the blood flow as well as his oxygen. He became weak an slow, and stood there still for a few long moments. And Ophelia took her chance then to destroy him. Once it was over with him, the other wolves would either go insane, and step up their attacks ten fold, or surrender. [color=6ecff6]"This is the last time you get to hurt anyone..."[/color] Ophelia whispered, knowing full well that Edward could still hear her. And she let that resonate with him, her hands snapping to the side, his neck shattering with the movement as well. His body went limp onto the ground and she climbed off, turning her attention to Roxas for a moment to see where he was at in his fight. She would aid him if she needed to, but she also wanted to ensure that Jax and Morthos were both okay. [/i]
