Welcome to Gaia! ::

Howlite scrambled back when she fell unexpectedly, trying not to get himself crushed. His grip on the wing was still form and he placed a paw on her back, tugging at it. Her movements only startled him more and he started to drag himself back. Much to his discontent, this made it easier for her to reach him and he was dragged closer when she tucked her wing in. He shut his eyes tight as she continued the assault, bracing his legs against the snow and her back, trying to escape the pain. He had no desire to let go of the wing like he did with her paw and he turned his head away so that all of her attacks would go to his shoulder. There. That felt better, less painful at least. He shook his head and the wing with it, still determined to make her feel the pain he felt and took a step back.

((Omg Hunter is awesome. xD))

Howlite was pleased to hear her cries of pain and he tugged harder now that she had stopped her attack. He was surprised when she fell since in his mind, she was stronger than that. He frowned and his brow furrowed in thought as she lay there. Her small and pathetic look reached his eyes and his ears flattened. He still had his soft spots, after all. He took her words to mean that he had won and he grunted. "All right." he said, letting go of her wing. This was his first real fight and Hunter looked very menacing. Plus, she was older. He let this assumed win go to his head and he grew over confident because of it. "Don't let me see your face again." he growled, stepping closer to her so that his face was above hers. He whacked her side with his paw. "Well, why don't you roll over?" he said, the satisfaction obvious in his voice.

Howlite was feeling dominant already. Rolling onto your back was the one thing he found most humiliating. It meant that the helix has lost the will for himself and was like a white flag, flashing defeat. It was the unwritten law that one must never attack another helix if he submits and Howlite respected that. He gave a final huff and prepared to leave as soon as he saw the female cowering before him on her back when suddenly, she was on him. The few seconds passed by like a flash to him because it was the last thing on his mind. At first, he had thought maybe she rolled too far but then she was on her paws, roaring, and leaping. His eyes widened but before he could react, he fell, and his face burned with pain once more. Worse now, her attacks seemed to be especially close to his throat and one simple swipe could kill him. He scrambled back, hind legs first seeing as she still had a grip on his head. Her fangs came dangerously close to his eyes but he was too scared to think and he kept them wide open. When he seemed to be free, he crawled away but then there was a sharp pain in his ear and he yelped as he was dragged back. He was stuck under her and, desperate to escape, he squirmed, batting at her muzzle to loosen her grip. He tried to roll out from under her or at least spin so that he could claw at her soft underside and he grabbed a mouthful of her fur to try and yank her off.

Howlite continued to flail about, looking for any means of escape. Her expression frightened him and he had to blink to get rid of the fur that floated close to his eyes. It was only when she jerked herself away, leacing his mouth full of only fur, did he realize there was a possibility that he would die. It hadn't really hit before, but now.... Her attacks seemed to be more wild, less thought out, and he curled so that his head was tucked in safely under his chest. Perhaps if he did nothing she would grow bored of him and leave? he hoped. Her words were faint to his covered ears but he could hear her nonetheless and his fur shook with fear. Was she telling the truth? Would she really eat him? He didn't dare look back at her and he suddenly sprang up, trying to run for it. Being humiliated was better than death. Who would listen to someone like her anyways, if she decided to spread the word around. She seemed insane and untrustwrothy. Yes, that was right. Saving his hide was the first priority.

Howlite stumbled a moment when he felt a slight sting on his back but he quickly righted himself and felt a bit of hope when the air started tickling his whiskers. Maybe the slight wound he made on her wing really did help, he thought, grinning when he heard her howl of pain. His hope quickly died away when he felt a yank on his tail and he cried out. He loved his tail since it was easy to whack someone with and he had often beat his siblings if they tugged on it for play. This was no different and he turned to grab his tail, too, trying to tug it out of her mouth. Her breath was rancid and he snorted, trying to get the horrible stench out. He tugged on his tail harder at her words and when that seemed pointless, he attempted to attack her jaws instead. Unfortunatly, she had enough of his tail so that he couldn't turn far enough to reach her and his jaws only snapped over air.

((Howlite: Hey, lady, you were supposed to rip it off, not eat it. D8

As long as it gets the job done. 8D))

Howlite tried to get closer to her, ignoring the tug his tail made. As long as he could get to her... escape was so close... all he had to do was release his tail and run as fast as he could. His tail flicked, trying to shake itself out of her mouth. He felt his tail go loose and he started towards her when his tail felt tugged again and in a much more painful way. He gasped and his legs shook. His head turned slowly until he could see what the female was doing. No! No! his mind screamed and he forced himself to keep moving, to ignore the pain of her claws on his back. The pain seemed to flood his whole being and all he could think about was getting free. He didn't know his movements were only helping her and by the time he was close enough to n** at her nose, his tail tuft was cut. He screamed and fell but the pain didn't go away and he writhed where he was. The smell of blood seemed to fill the air around him and he tried to get back on his feet. He didn't get very far and he fell once more. He groaned, trying to move his tail close to him, to protect what was left of it, but it hurt too much and he stopped. He was in too much shock to notice that his tail was released for the time being and by the time he did, it was already trapped in her jaws again. He tried to say something, anything, maybe beg her to spare him but he could only manage shaky gasps. He found his voice again when she bit his tail and his screams seemed even louder in their empty surroundings.

((Howlite: You.... -looks at ryu- How dare you put me through such suffering! DX< I swear, once I come alive and out of this screen, I'll kill you myself! RARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!!!

o3o -skips away-))

Howlite flinched away from her, shaking. Every touch seemed to be a hard whack with his heightened senses. It was true, one's abilities were heightened when one was in danger. But this... this didn't help, none at all! And she wasn't touching him, she was killing him! Her fangs, they were tearing at him and he wasn't sure how much more he could take. He had to get away, as soon as he remembered how to move, he would. His screams were cut off as he choked and he fought for breath as she pulled. He coughed up some blood and sucked some air back into his lungs now that the horrible liquid was out of the way. He couldn't scream any longer and his breath came in ragged, uneven gasps. The world looked red to him, bloody red. Suddenly, death didn't seem that bad. His body jerked instintively when her fangs touched bone but it hurt more that way and his body shook as he tried to keep himself together. It would be less painful that way and he was sure it would be over soon. Surely, whoever had created him couldn't be so cruel as to make him die a painful death when his life was filled with pain, too. There was a sharp pain on the base of his tail and his vision blurred. It felt as if his whole body was throbbing but it was more bearable, like a faraway thump. He tried to keep his body stiff and unmoving, so he could feel as little pain as possible before he left to the other life.
