Re: Renegade (Samuel;Lionfire)
(Inspirational music used:
It happened in an instant. Samuel made his dash towards the group of men. The one with the knife, hearing Samuel quickly approach, turned with knife in hand with a reactionary swipe, cutting clean along Samuel's arm, causing blood to immediately pour out and drench his arm. Still moving at full force, he slams into one of the men holding Shelby, who is knocked a few steps back. Shelby frees her arm from his grasp, and grabs the other who attempts to pull his own knife out and stab Shelby in the heart. She quickly tosses him with immense strength at the man who cut Samuel, slamming the two together as she lets out a roar of effort far exceeding the power a normal woman might release. As Samuel runs out of the house, he finds Shelby right behind him, easily keeping up with his speed as she follows him. "Thank you!" Shelby calls out to him while fleeing with him.
Meanwhile, from the house, the men wasted little time. The man who was about to execute Shelby walked out, his blade soaked with blood as only one other companion followed him out. His arm soaked in blood, it was likely not Samuel's.
"HERETIC!"
The man screamed in a dark fury of hatred and frustration. Samuel heard mechanical instruments being pulled out, before a familiar twang of a crossbow bolt followed. One landed harmlessly in a tree twenty feet in front of him, however he soon felt a sharp pain in in his side as an arrow impales itself into his side just above his belt line. The pain was enough to make him miss a step and plummet to the ground. Shelby let out a gasp of shock as Samuel hit the ground, while Samuel heard the men making steps to chase as their crossbows clinked, the sound of reloading. Quickly, Shelby collected him in her arms, easily lifting him up and fleeing on her hooves as she made quick distance, outpacing her pursuers as she fled with Samuel in her arms.
Minutes passed. Shelby fled long enough to ensure they wouldn't be easily tracked and found before they could rest. Samuel was brought to a river where the ground warped upwards and over, forming a small hole where one could hide from the sun, and from sight, before she set him down on his side on a soft patch of dirt while blood leaked from his wounds on his arm and side. Breathing heavily from running and from panic, she looked at the arrow in his right side as he lay on his left, fussing and confused. "Oh no... Oh... W-what should I do...?" She said, looking incapable ironically after capably saving him moments ago. "Should I pull it out?" she inquired, reaching towards the arrow gingerly, and with a frightened gesture.
