[Lafayra Rue]

Valkyrie blinks against the light. She rolled her tongue around in her mouth, tasting a lingering sweetness that she didn't recognize. The air smelled strongly of animal in an overbearing way and her cheek itched against some kind of bristly fiber. Blinking open bleary eyes she found herself in a small clearing. She moved very carefully away from the bristle and almost instantly the animal smell went down several notches. With a hard swallow she looked behind her.

 

Face to almost face with a dehaku she froze for a minute. 'What in the hell am I doing near this creature. It's going to kill me.' She started crawling backwards, hoping desperately that she wouldn't wake it up.

[Thugren]

the dehaku stirs and wakes up with a tired yawn, looking at you with a tired face.

"Im guessing i have a lot of explaining to do dont i..."

 

The dahaku sits up on its haunches and cracks its jaw.

 

"Relax...Im not going to hurt you.."

[Lafayra Rue]

Valkyrie stood up fast when she saw that the dehaku was awake and in her panic to move away from it she tripped and fell hard, hitting the back of her head on a tree. Dazed and bruised she sat there for a moment. "You-you can talk..." With the throbbing dulling she started scooting away again. "Explain...no, no...just stay there. I leave, and this never happened."

[Thugren]

the dehaku cracks its jaws  and grunts.

 

"YOu wont survive out here.."

 

He points t othe masses of undead in all directions, each watching her carefully, too scared to approach.

 

"Once again...calm down...and talk this out....I havent eatend you...If that was my intention i wouldve done that when i dragged you away from the german in the mask..."

[Lafayra Rue]

"German..." She remembered the Nazi dog and the Commander, he and a company of men had actually come to retrieve her, but everything else was black. Touching just under her left eye she waited, and nothing came to her. There were no visions like she normally had after her blackouts even though her left eye was open. Out of habit she ripped a piece of cloth off her shirt and wrapped it around her head as a makeshift eye patch.

 

"Alright then, we'll talk. Tell me what happened after that Nazi bastard threw me into that tree."

[Thugren]

" a second person locked deep in your head decided it was a good idea to make the situation between the two factions worse until it lead to my packs attack."

He says simply , removing his skull helmet to show a leonine face.

" so I dragged you to freedom."

[Lafayra Rue]

"Dragged him to freedom." She amended. "Where are we? I need to get back to headquarters. They need to know what's happened, I know they can help me."

[Thugren]

"you wont be going back there...YOu will be killed."

 

The beast murmurs as it sits up.

 

"Im to take you to a renagade cammp."

[Lafayra Rue]

She gave the creature an incredulous look. "A renegade camp? If I walk in there looking like this they'll shoot me. Renegade's tend not to like us."

[Thugren]

"YOu will go there, becasue no one will take you in otgherwise."

 

the great beast stands tiredly.

 

"COme."

[Lafayra Rue]

She looked at the creature, slightly astonished. Quiet for a moment, she considered her situation. It had a point, Ho Siht had probably marked her as dead or a deserter, neither being welcome in her head.

"Alright, lead the way." She would get to the camp, get provisions and gear and work out something from there.

[Thugren]

the creature sits up and winces.

 

YOu notice that its side is raked with vicous cuts and scrapes and a oozing wound drips into the dirt.

 

"Fuck....The humans mustve got me when i saved you..."

 

He touches the wound and the ozing wound gushes a burst of rancid slime onto the dirt.

[Lafayra Rue]

Valkyrie covered her nose. "Lord, is that from you or did it go septic?" If they were to get around without the creature losing all his bodily fluids they needed a way to close the wound. She looked down at the dying fire. "We we need to cauterize you wound if you wish to stop...um...bleeding."

[Thugren]

he looks at her as if offended.

 

"THis is from your human weapons!"

 

He winces and frumps down.

 

"Im guessing we will need to.......cripes."

[Lafayra Rue]

She leaned down and stoked the coals with her breath, pulling out her knife Valkyrie looked at the wounds again. "Too small." She wandered the edge of the small circle where they had camped hoping to find a pipe or something similar that wasn't too far away. The ghouls still milled about.

[Thugren]

you see an aold container of gasoline sitting the the dirt and your large ally grunts.

 

"This is going to be very uncomfortable......"

 

He grunts as he pinches the wound until it is empty of the ooze.

 

"damnit this hurts..."
