Neela could barely keep track of what was happening now, the battle becoming fast paced and confusing for the out of practice collie. Teeth snapped at her arm and Neela involuntarily let the muscles slack at the teeth grazed across her skin, the loosened grip allowing the blonde dog to yank her hand free from Neela's wrist lock and back off.
With her best hit countered and nothing but the pain that the woman must have caused herself forcing her way out of a grip like that to show for it Neela snarled, groping on the floor for her knives. One hand came up empty but the other hit cool leather, Neela raising the blade in a defensive position just as her opponent began to charge.
Neela brought her knife up to try and block the woman's initial attack and succeeded somewhat; though Neela managed to avoid getting skewered the heavier woman slammed into her, knocking Neela to the ground with an impact that left her breathless and stunned, her head banging against the compacted and frozen dirt painfully. Before Neela could recover fire shot through her belly as the woman resumed her carving from before and a strangled sound, half howl and half yelp, shot out of Neela's mouth at the excruciating sensation as her flesh was slowly carved.
Neela snapped rapidly at the woman's face but was unable to bring her face high enough to actually hit with them. As she thrashed Neela managed to regain possession of her second knife. Neela's mind was screaming at her to get away from the woman, her thoughts digressing through pain and anger. Howling Neela sprung forward, wrapping her arms around the woman in a mockery of a hug, feeling a sting as the movement drove the dog's knife further into Neela's belly.
Neela's knives found a groove on the other's back, a scar maybe? Neela didn’t have time to think and instead raked both knives down the groove viciously, drawing a dual line down the others back until the knives reached waist level where Neela yanked them outwards in each direction, causing more damage. Countign on the pain to stun her opponent Neela threw herself away, trying to put some distance between them.
