NOVPUBshe dodged the web at her back and punched the beast's legs, the lick legs snapped dangling loosely, but it attacked with its body as if its pain sensory was broken. She dodge to the ground giving the one in the front a chance to attack her with its body.
''bang!'' she flew to the side and hit her back to the spiky cactus, ''pfft... cough..
she held her side as coughed out blood, ''Ahaaa.... '' she screamed feeling the spike digging into her flesh, but she had to leave there. both of the licks were forming webs and she couldn't get caught in it.
she swallowed her pain down, as she unhooked herself, cold sweat dripped on her body, and her back was a mash of torn flesh and blood. she walked weakly holding her side, her eyes blurred and her consciousness was slipping away, she bit her lips waking herself up, and dodged weakly to the side.
All her body was screaming from pain, her heart was beating loudly in her chest as she watched the licks move towards her. kill~kill~ a voice whispered seductively into her ears but she shook it off, no... I can't blank out again. I have to kill them. she dug her fingers into her flesh to use the pain to keep her awake.
she watched them come closer, she locked her gaze on the one closer to her and punched through its opened mouth which had little webs forming. Her wounds opened, bleeding furiously from straining them, her hands were stained with green fluid as she watched the other lick attack.
She didn't have the energy to dodge and watched herself and the dead lick locked in the web. She didn't bother wasting her strength to struggle with the web but her mind was on getting the torn web legs dangling on the approaching lick side.
she held her breath, her heart in her throat as she hoped this idea worked or she would be dead. it came closer and closer, sweat sliding down her face as her eyes were focused on the target. it opened its mouth closer to her face 'Now!''
she used her last drop of strength, using her free hands to tear off the dangling leg and pierce it straight through its opened mouth. Green blood poured on her face as the lick struggled and went limp falling on top of squashing her together and she fell unconscious.
Zane frowned as he felt his body on a moving surface, he opened his eyes and it turned clear when he didn't see Cyra's form and he was on top of a running beast. he dug his legs to the stomach halting its movement. His heart felt unsettled, feeling something was very wrong... he climbed down from the beast and immediately summoned his beast and flew to the sky, his eyes flashed as he thought of something, he urged greed to fly faster and he gazed anxiously in the direction of the river.
reaching the clearing, he searched around the river, his heart sank when he saw the battle scene and no sight of Cyra.
''Cyra...please be okay.'' he dropped down and walked anxiously, his eyes darting around looking for Cyra. he saw her torn clothes on the ground and a blood-stained cactus- his heart tightened in pain, his face paled.
No! he won't believe she is dead, his eyes reddened and he walked hopelessly. From his side eye, he saw a flash of white-he paused in his tracks and looked at it again and saw it was a white hand between the lick body.
He ran quickly and pushed away the corpse on top and saw Cyra's pale figure. he quickly placed his hand under her nose. Feeling short breaths on his finger, he slumped beside her and hugged her blood-stained form without care. he never experienced such heart and emotional disarray happening to him, all on the same day.
He fed her his blood again and he was so grateful for his blood powers or she would have been dead before his eyes. he wondered how he was going to cope when she died of old age. he squashed that thought not wanting to think about it. he carried her into the water, peeling off her clothes, he washed her body and hair clean. with no desire in his eyes.
He placed her on Greed's back and went to process the licks for clothes for her. he dragged one and tore open its stomach and white sticky fabric poured out. he picked it This is the true form of the webs before they are shot out. he did the same for the others and picked out enough fabrics to use.
