Elise strapped her bow to her back as she snuck out the tent. Her father had grounded her in a way due to a fight between her and a packmate. She was being challenged, of course she was going to accept it. She checked her boots before sprinting into the forest.

Nothing like a little fresh forest air to clear her mind. She would hunt a little and come back before anyone would notice her missing. She was deep into the heart of the forest. Her nose catching the faint smells of rabbits and deers but also man. The smell intrigued her. And so she followed it. Elise kept quiet as she drifted through the thick forest, following the stench of man as it grew closer and stronger.

Lexa had been patrolling the border of the clan which was in the heart of the forest. She thought that all was going well until the scouts ran into a group of cannibals. She had done what she can but the scouts thought she was the enemy as well but only was trying to help. She had been holding the cannibals back off the clans territory but their numbers were growing and it was becoming to much work for just her. She got little to no injury and soon had to hid because the scouts were losing. She kept silent knowing they were still looking for any survivors to end. Her attention was drawn else where when she herd soft footsteps coming into the scene.

Lexa let out a soft low growl seeing this person getting themself into something they rant ready for. She took a deep breath and moved through the trees and kept her back against the trunks keeping hidden. As she neared the women who she could now see she moved towards her. She could hear the cannibals near and if she didn't hid now they would go after her. She lunged onto the trail and grabbed the women's hand and pulled her to her chest and in the process covered the strangers mouth with her hand. She hoped that she wouldn't struggle or make any noise that would draw the attention of the cannibals for she was trying to save her.

Elise was suddenly grabbed from behind and dragged away, a hand covered her mouth. She shouted but it came out muffled. The hands were small so Elise had to guess it was a girl. She was going to stuggle, break the hold the woman had on her until she saw the men moving past them.

She was instantly grateful that the woman's actions managed to get her out of the way of those...men. Though she wasn't sure of her intentions yet. She winced as she heard the sounds of dragging. Bodies most likely by how deep it was. Elise remembered her father mentioning the scout group and how it's taken them longer than normal to return. Elise sighed. She didn't want to think about that. There was a chance that it wasn't them.

Lexa winced upon hearing her muffled shout, there was no way they couldn't have caught ear of that and yet she found herself hoping they didn't. She held the stranger as still as she could and kept her as quite as she could until she noticed the cannibals on their right. "Shhh..." she said quietly into her ear and slowly moved her hand away hoping the women wasn't suicidal and call them out even more. They had only moments before they were discovered.

"I will distract them and you run back to your camp. There going to spot us at any moment. When I say run, you go and don't look back." Lexa said into her ear hushedly as she moved away from the tree and silently drew her sword before giving the women one last look to see what she would say or do.

Well now it was clear to her the woman meant no harm. She nodded. "Got it. You sure you can handle all them by yourself though?" Even the most skilled in her village would have trouble with multiple attackers.

The village wasn't too far as she looked back into the forest from the way she came. She could run and get a handful of reinforcements and be back in time to save the woman. She moved away from her, crouching. "You don't have to do this alone." Normally she wouldn't be so kind as to help a stranger but this said stranger potentially saved her life.

Lexa was barely paying attention to the stranger. She turned her head towards her and shook her head, not wanting the help. She looked back at the stranger before turning her attention to the cannibals in front of them. One...two...three...four.. She counted 4 all together, she could handle it, nothing she hadn't done before.

Lexa stood up from cover catching the attention of two of the cannibals. She leaned over and grabbed a dagger in her boot and threw it, the blade sticking in between one of the cannibals eyes as the other came at her. She swung the long blade that ran across the creatures throat. As the other ones came for her he was distracted and one of the 2 left held a blade to her throat and in a head lock. She struggled lightly and the other picked her blade up and aimed it at her chest. She threw her weight backwards as the blade was pushed towards her and the cannibals aim was messed up and ended up just above her hip. She gasped from the pain and kicked her leg up hard kicking the cannibal in the face knocking him cold and then grabbed the hilt of the sword. She took a deep breath and shoved the sword all the way through herself into the cannibal behind her and then ripped it out. She fell the the forest floor in labored breathing and a black liquid dripped from the large wound.

Of course Elise didn't listen. She stayed hidden as she watched the mysterious woman fight all of the men off. Her hands hovered near her bow as she stood still.
In a desperate move to rid of the last enemy the woman stabbed herself. A deep dark liquid leaked from the wound as she fell. Elise was to her feet in a second.

She knelt down by her side and began ripping her shirt in order to make a make-shift bandage. As she covered the wound the liquid, which she assumed to be blood, stained her hands. She wanted to puke but the woman was in need of medical attention.
"Can you keep pressure on this?" She needed to get someone. The village doctor would be able to help her but there was no way Elise could carry her on her own. "I'm going to leave to go get somone.. will you be ok?"

Lexa gasped for air, the pain wrapping her lungs and it felt like she was being strangled. She grabbed the wound and put pressure on it as the stranger tried to help her. "They will kill me. Just go. I will be fine." she said trying to get a hold on her lungs.
Lexa forced herself to sit up and winced before she used the tree to support herself and slowly make to her feet.Her breathing was labored and rough as she let her self rest against the tree for a moment before moving her eyes back to the stranger. "You need to leave before a wonder finds the scent of blood." she breathed keeping her hand on the wound where the cloth was full of the deep black liquid.

Elise nodded to her, though she was confused on the true dangers that were in the forest. She ran back quickly to her village, luckily her father was already back.

She explained the situation to him as quickly as she could, though he seemed more concerned about the black liquid staining her hands than anything else. He agreed to come with her, back to the wounded woman, bringing along a few of his strong warriors.
They picked up the woman and carried her back to her village, several of them scouted ahead to make sure their path was secured.
Elise and her father, joined the medic in the tent, watching over the work.
