[quote=@Ellion]Her pace was slow, hardly a run at all. But they were close enough to the forest that she was able to reach the trees quickly. [Color=pink]"Please, come look,”[/color] she called back.[/quote]

[color=red]"Gods dang it all!"[/color]

Sheffield's face burned from the scratch, but it wasn't enough to distract him from the runner. Or shambler, rather.

A little fighter, this stupid girl was. All selfless, all focused, all trouble for everyone else. She was quite the reminder of what Sheffield usually did.

A change of plans, then. Sheffield shot up to his feet and whirled on the older man. His words nearly blurred as his thoughts ran faster. [color=red]"We've wasted enough time. No time for sedation. Townsfolk should be here soon, but her family's in trouble."[/color]

The young Hunter darted ahead without another word and easily stopped in front of the girl, glaring. His voice was much more sharper when he spoke to her.

[color=red]"Listen here, listen well!"[/color] He took the girl's hands and pressed a new bundled up ball of bandages into them, then pushed them against her cut. [color=red]"Hold that; keep yourself alive to guide me over to where your family is. I'll carry you and you point where to go. Don't help me, then I won't help you and bash you over the head and leave your family for dead, UN-DER-STAND?"[/color]

He felt a nasty taste in his mouth as the harsh words left him. He wouldn't actually hurt her even more, but this girl had to understand he'll help. He didn't wait for an answer and scooped the girl up again in a bridal carry. 

[color=red]"Come with me, or better yet, make sure the Hunters come, blond stranger!"[/color] He shouted back to the blond as he jogged ahead. Hopefully they won't be too late.
