Burning Bridges

Alena felt a swell of satisfaction when she felt her teeth sink into the flesh on the left side of Virgil's neck. It wasn't her intended target, but she didn't really care which side of her neck it was, she was just glad her attack wasn't completely in vain. As Virgil's movement continued it's momentum she felt the fea's bunched skin give way between her teeth, leaving a tear in the skin and darkening both the golden woman's fur and her own muzzle with blood. Alena was impressed with Virgil's reaction to the wound, not letting the simple tear slow her down. Very well, Alena would just have to push on just as hard. Her opponent made her own move, moving forward so that the golden fea's shoulder slammed into the middle of Alena's chest, pulling a soft 'oof' from the ivory fea and surely causing at least some bruising. Alena had been moving forward as well so the move had been impossible to dodge, but certainly could have been a worse blow to take. She made sure she kept her defenses set throughout Virgil's attack, keeping her ears pinned back out of the way, her eyes narrowed, and her scruff bunched up and hackles raised to protect her neck. She also kept her knees slightly bent, her claws dug into the dirt beneath them, her toes spread out evenly, and her stance set into an even, firm form. She kept her muscles tensed and ready to move at any moment, but loose enough that if the woman were to ram into her again she wouldn't merely be knocked over. Finally, her tail remained flared out for balance and her jaws remained parted and ready for action. Virgil's attacks came in quick succession, giving her little time to think before the fea's paw came down on top of her own left paw, putting pressure down on the appendage and grinding down against the bones in the paw. A irritated, slightly pained growl left her throat in reply. She could put up with the pain of her stepping on her paw. The part of it that she really hated was that it slowed her movement to dodge the bite that Virgil was diving in to place on her scruff. Alena leaned to her right, trying to dodge out of the way out of the attack, but she basically held Alena there by her paw. The best Alena was able to do was put the thickest, much bunched up part of her scruff into the line of fire. She let the defensive move of having her scruff bunched up, the thick fur she naturally had, and the tough scar tissue that criss crossed the area protect her from the worst of Virgil's bite, but she knew it was impossible to escape all of the bite, which was only proven true when Virgil's head began to shake from side to side and pain flared up from the site of the bite. The sudden flash of pain barely phased her. Compared to the pain she had felt when she got the large scar that lined her shoulder and even the pain of childbirth, this was nothing. She turned her attention back to her own attacks. Since Virgil's jaws were occupied on the back of her neck, Alena let the position be an advantage and lowered her neck slightly so that her neck was positioned under Virgil's. She then quickly tilted her head up and to the left, parting her bloodied jaws and reaching forward to attempt to latch onto Virgil's left shoulder, right at the curve of her shoulder blade where it connected with her leg. If she was able to latch her teeth onto the fea's shoulder, she would bite down hard and push forward, wanting to knock the fea's balance off or at the very least knock her paw off of hers and free her limb. She would also jerk her head to the left, more trying to knock Virgil off her paws rather than trying to rip the flesh from her again. She may be her challenger and Alena wasn't going to go easy on her, but Alena had no need or want to maim the girl. Virgil VS Alena FOR Secondary ROUND: 2 out of 3 DEFENSES: ears back, eyes narrowed, scruff scrunched and hackles raised, toes spread, claws dug in, tail out, even stance, tensed muscles, bent knees, parted jaws ATTACK: Reaching to bite at where Virgil's left shoulder, shoving forward to knock her off balance or at least off of her paw, then jerking her head to the left in an attempt to pull Virgil off her paws.
