I am a Beast

Crim writhed in pain, choking on his own deep red blood. He screamed at Murk to find Elize and the wraith started searching the area, getting closer and closer to her hiding spot.
 
Still trying to remove all of the shadow from herself, Elize readied herself for her final battle. She would either kill the snake or die trying. She gripped her knives tighter and focused on breathing evenly. She wanted to rush out and cut off the head, but she knew she had to be stealthy. She only hoped that they didn't find her hiding place in the thick leaf covering of the top of the tree.

Alma awoke slowly, with a thudding in her head and a broken tail. She scolded herself for being so careless. Then she froze. She could hear the fight going on near her, and she was afraid. She glances up in time to see Murk transform, and she gasped. She had nearly been killed by that thing. Alma saw the girl Elize, ow she protected Ellie, and she instantly wanted to help. She slowly climbed up the ravine, darting from bush to rock, keeping hidden.
 
Crim was growing tired of this. Not only had that girl excaped, but she had sliced of his tongue! What worried him though, was that he saw little red stars in his eyes. He suspected he was getting delusional from blood loss, but what was that noise? It almost sounds like whispering...


No clock nev haada. No clock nev haada.
 
The small saber toothed tiger cub played by himself in the bushes, without his mother or pack. He chased a hare and rammed straight into a tree. He stumbled around sleepily, then fell flat on the floor, fast asleep, looking extremely cute.
 
Alma noticed the cub and decided to play dirty. She bit its tail hard, drawing blood. Then she grabbed it by the scruff and slung it around a bit, spreading the blood and trying to gat it to wail.
 
The cub woke with a start, jumping up and growling. In a split second, the cub morphed into a little boy with massive claws. "Go AWAY" he growled like a cat, then launched himself towards the attacker.
 
Shoving it towards Crim, she felt bad about using the boy as bait, but she needed its family to help fight off Crim. She growled and pounced on him, trying to get it towards Crim. If he attacked the boy, the pack would attack and kill Crim, and then there would be peace in the forest.
 
"Eh...?" Crim muttered and began to approach the sound, his eyes flickering between a bloody red and the usual green.

Murk began to become annoyed. He shot balls of shadow into the surrounding bushes one by one, luckily he had to recharge his powers before he could shoot the bush Elize was hiding in.
 
Elize trembled. She knew that she wasn't going to make it. She just wasn't yet ready for an enemy of this skill. With a yell of defiance, she threw a knife at Murk, aimed at his chest.
 
The boy is thrown back and morphes back into a cub, hits his head on a protruding rock and is out cold
 
Alma gave a small yip to get the attention of those she wanted to, and then she ran. Hoping the boy would be all right, she hid again, at a safe distance.
 
No one came. The boy was abandoned at a very young age by his pack, because of his shapeshift ing ability. He remained still, oblivious to what was going on.
 
OOC// Thanks for clarifying that.

When nobody came for the boy, Alma knew she had made a mistake- a big one. She rushed forward and grabbed the cub with her jaws, then ran away as quickly as she could. she would not see another abandoned shifter live alone. Taking the child to the cave she slept in, she shifted into human form and started a fire. She then went out and caught a few rabbits. she skinned and cooked them, waiting for the boy to awake.
 
The cub awoke, looking around frantically. It spotted the person that had hurt him, and he bounded over, his fangs and claws unsheathed
 
Twiching and bloody mouthed, Crim reached the where the cub had been. The whispering told him to go to the nearby cave. Reaching the mouth he gave a creepy smile to the two who were there. "No one can save you now."

Murk lurched back when the blade hit him. He tried to pull it out his cheast, moaning softly.
 
Alma turned to the boy, gasping as be lunged at her. Barely moving out of the way in time, she yelled at him. "Stop it, I'm trying to help you!" She didn't notice that Crim had come to the mouth of the cave, and she didn't know of the grave danger she had put the boy in.

Elize wasted no time. Throwing more blades as she went, she circled around Murk, trying to find a weak point. She lunged forward, slicing him, then pulled back, desperate at this point.
 
The cub looked at the snake and grinned. He loved playing with snakes. He jumped on its head and held it to the ground so it wouldn't bite him
 
"How dare you, you stupid child!" Crim rapped around the boy's chest and began to tighten.

Murk wailed as his chest was cut open exposing his old rotten heart. As a last exempt he started rapid firing purple bolts of fire at the hunter.
 
The cub realised that this was no ordinary snake. He wailed as the snake tightened, scrabbling weakly at the tough scales
