Blood in the water

Scylla had been frequenting the tide pools, mostly because she wasn't allowed to. Technically, she wasn't allowed to be on the mainland at all. Not without an escort. However, Scylla did whatever she wanted to do and it was difficult to tie her down and keep her in one place. She was pretty sure that her father had given up on trying. Each time that she left, she came back unscathed, so she continued venturing out.

As she neared the cove, the girl could hear sounds of a scuffle. Why was everything always fighting? Not that she minded, but she wondered where everything found its endless aggression. Coming a round a curve, she noted a blue boy fighting off some curs. After watching for a moment, Scylla decided to help. Why not? She didn't have anything else to do.

Coming up behind one of the canines while their attention was on the blue wolf, Scylla shot the boy a wink, then pulled her serpentine blade and sliced cleanly through the hamstring of one of the larger dogs. It screamed and squealed, running away from the bunch on three legs and leaving a trail of claret in its wake. Well... that one was easy. In doing that, however, the squat, bulldog looking beast now had its sights on her. Great.
