As the screech left her gaping fanged jaws, Vesper thought she caught a blur of silver-black out of the corner of her eye. Clawed fingers reached for the dark-headed wolf’s hateful green eyes, but his own hand shot out to intervene. At the same time, however, she could feel his balance shift, and once again she took advantage to tear herself free.
The wolf shuffled backwards, and Ves flexed the hand of her damaged arm, glad to see no muscle damage was there as of yet. She looked frantically across to her wide-eyed sister, but then her dark rescuer had leaped at the lupine soldier. Blood flew as the secui roared judgment then snapped at him, but then something glistened in his hand, and the Centurion’s warning caught in her throat. Even as she stepped back, the deep scars around her shoulders burning at the sight of the blade plunging down, her small sister took action.
Sparrow tried to disarm the man, and obviously it was not going to be easy. Growling, Vesper shook herself into action and jumped forward as well. She clawed at his face, managing to open a gash in his cheek even as he struggled to stab her sibling. Her other hand snaked across his body and grabbed the weapon wrist, twisting until he had to relinquish it, but the close quarters meant he could grab her.
Anger shot through the Centurion, and she snarled curses even as he managed to scramble backwards, his arm locked across her throat. Her training with Helotes came to her then, and she reached up, grasping him then pulling as she bent her body, using her strength to flip him over her. He landed on the ground, winded, and she looked to the secui wolf as she grabbed her shoulder, feeling blood well from where he’d dug his claws into her flesh.
