Delfina swooped down and alighted next to Lazaro, her eyes glowing red and her small, yet sharp fangs exposed as she fixed her gaze on the olf quadwolf.
She really hadn't faced a dangerous, wild animal before, though, especially in this world. But her demonlike survival instincts were taking over and was setting her on the defensive.
~~~~~
Ebony sighed, then she caught Darcy's gaze.

"I can tell you're not too happy." Darcy spoke in a subdued tone.
"He's old and he's desperate." Lazaro warned Delfina. "He could do anything."

Aron almost struggled with the horse. "Calm down or you will be in the culling." He muttered as trying to force his head down to prevent them going to their rear legs and kick with their front.
The old quadwolf looked at the bigger figure, but didn't see much but shadow because of the light shining. While bigger was better, the light was an irritation that had to go. In a quick motion, he leaped towards Lazaro.
((And I leap to bed. You do the aftermath of this, I don't wanna leave you hanging.))

Ebony sighed and nodded, "Yeah. About lots of things. But I just wish that Phoenix could've told me that she was gonna do this to me."
Her antenna tip sparked again to demonstrate, "She wants me to be a magic-user for a day to see what it feels like."
~~~~~
"Lazaro!" Delfina sprang forward and tackled Lazaro out of the way of the leaping quadwolf.

Lazaro oof'd with the impact of Delfina and found himself lying on his side behind a rock. His shotgun lay three feet away, having been knocked out of his hand. He saw the quadwolf lunging at Delfina, directly at her throat.
The horse that Aron was holding finally decided to move, and fast. Aron was almost pulled down and dragged by the animal in its bid to escape.
<<< I'm about to hit the hay as well>>>
"I'm perfectly happy not finding out." Darcy gritted her teeth.

Delfina saw the quadwolf leap at her and crouched low. Then jumped up and swung her tail at the animal to make it stumble in its attack.
~~~~~
"I would've been more comfortable just leaving the magic to the real users," said Ebony, "who actually know how to use it. I prefer to use my mind and my wits to solve problems."

"I don't think Phoenix would want to use magic as a crutch either." Darcy glanced back at the Trans Am. "Maybe she just wanted a break from it."
The quadwolf was caught in the chest by Delfina's tail, and was forced backwards, flipping onto its spine with a yelp.
<<< Th-th-th-that's all for me tonight, folks! >>>

Ebony h'rumphed, "Yeah, that was a real nice idea to lay the burden on me." She shot a glare at Phoenix, letting her know that she was not happy about her current situation.
The twins crept up, which distracted Ebony from her current thoughts and conversation, and snuggled up against her. This made her relax a little bit more.
~~~~~
Delfina crouched, remaining alert as the quadwolf landed and lay on his back. Did that kill him or did that just severely cripple him? She wasn't sure, but she watched the animal intensely just to be absolutely certain, not wanting to relax her guard just yet.

The quadwolf did a series of whines and flipped over to his tires. The impact had not been immobilizing, but it had been deadly, though the actual death would be within 24 hours. The quadwolf was about to turn back, but arched a bit and threw up a sizable quantity of a mixture of fuel, antifreeze and oil. It drove back into the buses and away from the game trail.
Aron had almost lost his grip on the straps but he had avoided that and avoided being trampled down. He was now focused on steering the horse in the right direction while it was willing to go anywhere.

(((Work was exhausting the other day. I actually came home and went to sleep.)))
Phoenix felt... Odd without her powers, but knew it would have an affect on Ebony eventually. She herself was for once without her powers, a change for her. "You know if I offered to do this, she would of said no."

The packmaster added his grip to the lead rope and turned the pack horse away from the source of its fright. "Let's get 'er moving!" He gave a THANK-YOU wave to Delfina in passing.
Julian watched the animal drag itself off. "If he's not finished, he soon will be."

Ricardo nodded, "That she would. But just give her some time to get used to it."
He saw that the twins were now with their mother. That always helps Ebony to calm down.
~~~~~
Delfina stood up as she watched the quadwolf limp away. She probably had given it a fatal blow with her tail, but she felt somewhat uneasy to know that it was going to die by her actions.

"And I'm normal car for once," Phoenix said. "I've never been without them, so this is a learning experience for both of us."

"Yes, it would be," said Ricardo, "I just wonder if Ebs sees it the same way."

When the horse seemed to calm down, Aron turned back, seeing Lazaro huffing on the ground, Delfina standing up but seemed distracted, and the quadwolf was nowhere to be seen. "Are you okay?" Aron called back to them.
