City of Ashes RP ~~Players Needed~~

Silva spun around and stood next to Isabella her sword raised and slashed out at the menacing wolf.
It snarled and lept back from her weak attempt to kill it.
"Elisha...this is not ending up well!"
The remaining wolves circled them warily now, but if they all attacked at once, Silva knew that she definitely couldn't fight much longer. 
She could feel blood running down her arm underneath her jacket as pain made her ears ring.
Silva tried to take deep breaths and keep the wolves in sight at all times, waiting for them to attack.


Elisha's eyes narrowed at the wolves, trying to think of a plan. A sudden clarity of the muddled thoughts in his brain gave him a plan. He sprinted past the wolves, weaving through trees. He hoped they would pursue him. After all, 'A good predator will always go after the moving target.' He risked a glance back behind him. Some of them were, in fact, following him, although he couldn't tell how many. He made sure to stay ahead of the pack, but close enough for them to keep chasing him.
 
"Elisha!"
Silva admired his selflessness. You had to give him that in this situation...but he couldn't run forever! Eventually he would give out or get treed like a coon, stuck with no out. He had drawn most of the wolves away but those that still remained circled them relentlessly, trying a snap here a charge there, always keeping just out of sword reach. It was aggravating.
If she had been alone she would simply have charged them head on...but Isabella was with her and if she charged than Izzy would be left vulnerable.
Her mind raced. They had to get rid of these last wolves...
"Isabella, we are gonna move slowly towards the trees, got it? No sharp movements...as if we were simply gliding along. I can't keep them off much longer...they will just get more bold. If we can have our backs to something than it will be much easier to dispel them.. Okay?"
Silva slowly started to move backwards, her eyes never leaving the wolves. They were growling and whining, trying to find a week spot on their prey, a place to pounce. But Silva kept her sword up, against that blade they stood no chance.
She smoothly placed one foot behind the other...hoping that they could reach the tree line before they decided to charge.
 
Cable finished placing all the torches and glanced towards Garret. "What now? Do we just wait?" He asked already feeling completely useless. He looked down at his wrist again and touched it, wondering why he couldn't feel it. A burning sensation grew even as he thought it and he immediately regretted it, then faded as if it were never there. That was strange. He thought numbly.
 
Sky and Alexis just stepped into the clearing. Sky drew the attention of the remaining wolves with the fire. "Alexis, now would be the time to take down some wolves with that bow and arrows." She said, readying her own weapon.
Alexis smiled, aiming and firing her bow quickly. Each of her arrows hit the wolf she aimed at.

Garret looked to Cable, "Now we wait for the others to return, and we hold this place to keep it safe.
 
Leah sat near the unconscious Beatrix. She placed a damp cloth on her head as she waited to see if the other girl would wake.
 
A wolf lunged at sky. She crouched down and did an uppercut with her dagger, leaning to her right to avoid impact, and sliced a huge killing gash down the wolf's underside, from its throat to its lower belly. She rolled on her side and came back up to her feet quickly and drew her other dagger from the sheath on her right arm.
