Judy’s POV
As I run back to the arena in wolf form, I see Tabby fighting with Chuck; there aren’t a lot more fighters, so this was my chance to really show them what I got. Chuck was significantly bigger than the rest of us, including the remaining guys and Tabby was tiny in comparison. She fought with him fiercely though, using her sword as an extra shield as he went off on her.
She dodged and counter-attacked like a pro. I saw she had cuts on her legs and torso, indicating a tough fight. I wondered if they were from Chuck.
She attempted to dodge another attack, but this time he anticipated her move and counter attacked. He had her pinned to the ground in a heartbeat and his own sword raised above her head, his eyes dark with intentions.
She screamed again, fear in her eyes. She struggled to reach for her white flag, but it didn’t seem to matter. He was about to kill her without any mercy. I let out a fierce growl as I lunged at him, my canines digging into his ankles, making him yelp in pain. He whipped around, attempting to get me with his sword, but he missed by a hair, and I dug my teeth even deeper into his ankle.
He attempted to throw me off, but I was relentless and let out another furious growl.
Tabby managed to wiggle out from beneath Chuck and grab her own sword. Instead of cutting him with the blade end of the sword, she swung the metal handle at his hand, making him fall backwards with a giant welt on his head.
At that point, I finally released him, tasting his blood that coated my canines and dripped off my fur.
I was still pent up and pissed; I bared my teeth at him. He immediately shifted into his large wolf and lunged at me; his injuries long forgotten as his wolf quickly worked to heal him. He had me pinned to the ground for a minute, taking me off guard, but I snapped my teeth in his face and got hold of his neck. I might be small, but I was fast, unpredictable and my teeth were sharp.
He also got a hold of my neck at the same time; he was strong, so he was able to lift me up, forcing me to release my own hold on him. He whipped me around, making the crowd gasp. I could only imagine how it must have looked. He tossed me away like I was nothing but trash.
I flew through the air, landing on the ground with a thud. I winced in pain as I felt something snapping out of place in my shoulder.
I lifted my head to see Tabby now shifting and lunging at Chuck; a few others were also joining in on the fight. There weren’t many left, which meant this competition was about to end just as soon as only one competitor remained.
I tried to gather my thoughts and willpower; I needed my wolf to hurry and heal me a little so I can continue on with this fight.
I glanced out into the stadium and my eyes immediately found Gavin’s; my heart lurched at the sight of him. The heartache I had felt all night came rushing back to me and even my wolf whimpered in despair. He was standing tall, his eyes glued on me. They were dark and filled with what seemed like worry and concern.
It only infuriated me more. Who did he think he was? He had no right to worry about me after he just spent a passionate night with another woman. A low growl escaped my throat as I glared at Gavin, making him frown. My anger only fueled me even further as I turned away and focused my attention back to the fight.
There were only a few people left, one other wolf, Tabby, Chuck, and—
Just as the thought came to me, an arrow flew through the sky and struck the random wolf down. The others didn’t seem to notice, but I did. I quickly got out of the way as Sherry readied another arrow, pointing it directly at Tabby.
I roared for Tabby to get out of the way; but she was too preoccupied with Chuck. She didn’t notice the arrow flying straight towards her leg… not until it was too late.
She growled and hissed in pain as she fell to the ground. Taking that as an opportunity, Chuck plunged his sword into her stomach, making me scream out in wolf form.noveldrama
I ran towards her, tears threatening my eyes, but my view was blocked by Chuck’s giant wolf who came running at me in return. I was furious and scared for my friend; I wanted Chuck’s blood on my hands. I snapped at him, taking fur into my mouth and pulling out of his skin, making his hiss in pain, which came out strange in wolf form.
We fought for a while; both of us got some easy shots in. I mainly dodged the attacks he made on me, and I ran around him, hoping to tire him out. Part of being small meant I had more stamina than the larger wolves.
