The Hungry Wolf

The emotions I was feeling were a mixture of shock and excitement as my claws continued to dig into the bandit in front of me. He barely managed to push me off before I could get anymore damage in, "you could have taken the second option we would have treated you nice but now I have to put you down like the dirty bitch you are!" He lifted his weapon and fired sending a speeding piece of white hot metal streaking forward as it pierced my right leg.

< We need to avoid taking any unnecessary damage at all cost, if we take anymore shots like we're gonna be done for sure >

"Then let's make sure we don't" I leapt forward using whatever strength I had left in my good left to close the distance between us, I slashed outward with both of my clawed hands but he anticipated this and dodged out of the way running towards the scuffle currently going on between Dismas and his leader. "Where are you going, don't think you can get away from me that easily."

I looked over to see Reynauld frantically rifling through the coat pockets of the man he was just fighting, Dismas on the other hand was dodging and weaving through the barrage of attack currently coming from the behemoth of a man standing before him being sure to deliver a deep slash every time he made the fatal mistake of missing. "Boss, we need to take what we got and cut our losses, nothing these bums could possibly have is worth dealing with wolfy over the.." I could feel his warm blood pouring down my hand as I dug my claws into his throat and pulled.

< Now let's focus our remaining energy on supporting Dismas because I don't think our body can handle anymore direct blows especially from that whip of his. >

Dismas pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger sending four grape-sized shots into the arms and legs of the giant man in front of him before re-entering his defensive stance. "We need to finish this guy fast before anyone else catches on and decides to join!" Both me and Reynauld ran in with me slashing at the man's legs and Reynauld delivering a powerful blow slashing downward carving out a decent sized piece of flesh.

< This is our last chance, pouce on his chest and tear his heart out! >

I felt a large pulse of adrenaline flood through my body as I charged forward, my bloothsaked claws digging into the dirt beneath me. "Dismas duck!" Reynauld called out as I sank my teeth into the leader of the road bandits. His blood.. it tasted delicious, not a word was said that night as both men stared watched me rend flesh and muscle from bone until I eventually passed out from exhaustion.

It was morning when I woke up again, both Reynauld and Dismas were in the process of dividing whatever they managed to dig up from both the bodies and whatever they found in the coach. They handed me another bag of food and water as well as a bag full of gold, silver, and copper coins. Neither one of them talked about the events that transpired, they just pointed towards a large gate and said that this was the place where we could get our wounds treated.

"All we need to do is make it through that wall right there and everything should be fine." We walked until we approached an armored guard sitting inside a small box currently shuffling around a stack of papers. "Look what the rats dragged in, a dirty thief, a disgraced knight and some blood covered harlot what business do you freaks have." the man let out a hearty chuckle as he continued to shuffle his papers. Dismas also began to laugh and for a second both of them looked like old friends appreciating some sort of inside joke, that was until Dismas put a blade to the man's throat.

"If you don't get off you fat ass and let us through this damn gate I promise you the girl won't be the only one covered in human blood before the nights over with." The man went pale and Dismas backed up as he signaled for the gate to open. "Let's get you to the medical hall before that leg gets infected, after that we can go our separate ways or you could meet us at the local bar on your call.
