To the Rescue!

Ve did her best to lose the anxiety, such tumultuous emotions helped nothing in Songa life. They were always living on the edge, never knowing if they would remain from one day to the next. Velvette accepted this rule of life for herself, but actually losing her brother was something she never wanted to face. He told her she was the best, effectively forgiving her for any previous transgression, including trying to hold him back. She had warned him, and vowed not to save him so if the croc got him in was his own fault.

Of course he gave her little time to finish making up her mind and charged after him, their new battle arena was almost better suited for their technique though the crocodile didn’t know it. Ra hurried his plan to her and Velvette nodded, not even sure if he had seen as he rushed off to begin his assault. He succeeded in taking the beast’s eye this time and Ve found pride swell in her chest as she set herself up for the next attack, She tried to keep to the crocodile’s blind side, sure it was looking out for her to appear next.

Ra fled and the crocodile attacked where he had been. The creature closed its jaws and Velvette tried her luck with another bite, going towards the beast’s one good eye. She felt her teeth connect and she ripped away it’s outer eyelid. It began to sink under the water as she leapt away once again.
