Is the swoop too much? Cuz that’s just what Ezra does XD
(325)
Ezra had stopped thinking, his brain had completely shut off once his face had been gashed; all he could see was the blood dripping down his face and the stinging pain that came with it and how he wanted this beast to pay. He felt a little nauseous as he tried to fend off the angry black bear, but nothing he could do was working. He bit and growled but it seemed to do nothing, the bear still charged at him, full force. The man was still quick enough to avoid most of the attacks, and he even got a good bite or two in, but the bear was still winning.
Ezra would have been considerably more worried for his wellbeing if Wretch hadn’t come to help him scare off the bear. Ezra winced as his eye pooled with blood, temporarily making him unable to see. After a few blinks, though, he saw Wretch handing him the cloak. He took it eagerly, hoisting it above his head and backing up away from his foe. The bear turned around to look at Wretch, who was right by her children. The bear absolutely lost her mind then, snarling and growling with a primal urgency. They needed to get out of here, now.
They had just enough time to sneak away, hopefully Wretch could keep up. Ezra grabbed her hand and pulled the silver girl close, quickly scooping her legs up so that Ezra could run without wondering if she would keep up. Ezra ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Luckily Wretch weighed nothing, and he still had muscles from carrying Eli long distances. The bear was soon out of sight, and Ezra delicately put Wretch back on the ground, before falling to the ground himself. His face hurt so, so badly. The blood had stopped spilling so much and had transitioned to a small trickle. He whined, wondering how horrible the disfigurement was.
