Catrine was racing along the riverside. She had been chased by humans from the New Salem city limits for wandering too close. She sobbed, swatting tree leaves away. Catrine was terrified; this kind of thing didn't happen in Scaris.
She screamed as she tripped over a fallen branch, gripping her ankle in pain. Her ears were desperately straining to hear things she couldn't, but humans were getting close. She just couldn't hear them.

*Manny was nearby, he was ripping a tree trunk out of the ground with his hands as a sort of strength training. Hearing a scream his head quirked to the side as he dropped the tree and gave a grunt* Catrine? *He said raising a brow, taking off in the direction he heard her from*

Catrine pushed herself up and limped a few paces before something struck her sharply in the back. She rolled on her back and lashed out with her claws at a young human male wielding a branch. The human was angered at her swipe and her hands flew up to defend her face.

*As the man drew the branch back to hit Catrine again he was greeted with a shoulder to the side. Manny's huge form came into view as he slammed the man so hard he flew off and landed into a tree. Staring at the man and not seeing him move he leaned down and extended his hand to help her up.* Come on Catrine... *He said as he tried to help her up. Hot air blew from his nostrils and it was easy to see that he was pissed*

She whimpered and slowly pushed herself up, grasping his hand. There were light bruises and small cuts across her forearms. She didn't put much weight on her ankle, her lips quirking slightly in a smile, "Thank you, Manny."

*Nodding at her he looked around, shielding her with his massive form* How many are out there? *He said sternly as he began to give her a gesture to move. Hopefully he could get her back to Salem before anymore showed up.*

She limped along and winced, biting the inside of her cheek to keep from crying out at the pain. She was moving at a slow pace. The French in her voice thickened the more it hurt, "I do not know..."

*Without asking he leaned downward to pick her up* We need to get as far away from here as we can. *He said as he went to hold her in his large arms and run with her back to Salem*

Her tiny arms slid around his neck to cling on. Her ankle was throbbing, but the pain lessened as it dangled over his elbow. She gently tucked her head against his shoulder, knowing she was safe.

*Jogging quickly and trying not to bounce to much, he kept going forward. Feeling very concerned over her wellbeing he pushed through a few bushes and was almost to the city. Realixing this he began to slow down to make it calmer for her and he gave her a soft smile* Run into some trouble huh?

She blushed lightly when he smiled at her, "I did not even see it coming." Her shoulders slumped, but she held on tightly, "Thank you for being my hero."

*He smiled and nodded at her as he pushed through the tree line and was now in view of the town.* Anytime, and look, we're almost home. *Manny said smiling as he kept walking with Catrine in his arms. Walking forward through the grass, they were both heading to the hospital.*

Catrine swung her ankle lightly, testing it, "It will be alright...don't worry about it. I would know if it were broken."
