Goodnight Moon and Goodnight You

Her heart pounded, the girl crouching among the grass as she heard the terrifying battle going on just a few yards from where she was. She kept her eyes shut, afraid of what was going on. It felt like such a long time that they were fighting. The rain and thunder making it hard for her to hear anything except for the muffled sounds of snarling and roaring. With the blood roaring in her ears, she didn't realize that after several agonizing moments, it was all gone. The fighting had ceased to exist, and she was left alone at the top of the cliff with nothing but the elements.

Moments of silence would pass, and finally she would slowly open her eyes only to find that she was alone. Her heart pounded painfully hard against her chest, her breathing quick. Slowly, she stood up and made her way towards the edge of the cliff on shaky legs. She was afraid of what she might find...had they both gone over and gotten lost in the sea below?

Peering over the edge, lightning flashed and illuminated the sky around her. She flinched for a second, searching for the wolf...or the lion. Dual toned gaze found a body lying on a ledge far below her. Her breath hitched in her throat, wondering if the lion was there too...but her continued search found nothing else. Swallowing, she turned around and searched for a path that would lead her to the broken body of her savior. It took several long minutes, but at last she had managed to find a narrow ledge that she could fit on (and just barely), that would take her down to the other. Rain began to fall upon the earth now, making her little journey on the ledge dangerous. But carefully, she would pick her way step by step with her tiny body pressed against the cliff.

Finally she would arrive, the girl scurrying over to the nearly still body of Leon. Whining, she gently nudged his muzzle as she tried to wake him. "H-hey! W-why did you do that? Why risk your life for me?" She was curious, though she was also terrified that this man was going to die here. Tears stung her eyes, her rain drenched body shivering as she whined more as she frantically looked him over. "I-I can help you! Just...I need herbs..." But where would she get them? She didn't want to leave him here alone. Maybe...if she howled...someone would come help...quickly, she tilted her head back and began to howl. But was soon stopped when a paw touched her own.

Clicking her jaws shut, she looked at the male...hazy blue eyes looking at her own dual toned ones. She would lower herself to her stomach, paws touching his chest to feel his body barely rising and falling. "Th-thank you..." But seriously...why?
