“Shit…Ash!” Carth ran toward Ash and knelt beside her as well. He looked her over, though guessing it was because of her back that had been hurting before the creature had shown up. He slowly, yet carefully, pulled her toward him, cradling her. “I’m sure this will give her time to rest. Lets see if we can get as close as we can to the fort before nightfall.” He picks her up and heads toward his horse. “Help me get her on my horse and I’ll take her as far as we can.” After getting Ash on his horse, he soon was on his with Ash in front of him. Carth was ready when Scarlet is.
