Meet Me At The Gates

ooc: I figured now was a good time for Valor to flee or else I don't quite see Vianni letting him leave alive xD

Before he knew it the female's teeth were ripped painfully from his neck. Maybe she'd decided against attacking him anymore? Or maybe she was just going to get a better grip on his neck so she could kill him faster. His eyes clenched tightly as he tried to prepare what he believed to be his inevitable death when he realized that it wasn't coming. His eyes popped open as he heard the snarls of battle. Who? His amethyst colored eyes settled hazily on the familiar gray scaled form of his dad as he fought off his attacker. His eyes widened then as he watched the battle unfold. What was his dad doing? A soft whimper left him as he struggled to get to his feet as the blood poured from his neck and dribbled down his fur. He staggered a bit as he stood helplessly on the sidelines. A part of him was trying to be optimistic. Creed had followed him all the way here, surely he could beat this woman in a fight too. And then the realization that his dad was old hit him as the battle turned from his favor to the woman's. His ears flattened against his head as tears sprung to his eyes as Creed was knocked to the ground. He was ready to run forward, try and help, but the look the gray male gave him caused him to pause. His ears flattened further and he automatically shook his head as Creed spoke to him. Run? How could he leave him here? No he was going to help! He had to help - this was his fault. It was all his fault. If he hadn't decided to come north by himself his dad wouldn't have had to save him in the first place. But the look Creed gave him then forced him to halt fully before he took a few steps backwards. He'd go find help. That's what he'd do. He'd find someone nearby and they'd come save his dad. It couldn't just be them here. There'd be someone nearby to help and then they both could go home. -Exit Valor- Walk, "Talk" Think
