Finally, Melody skidded to a stop. "I'am.... sorry... Granite..." she huffed, "but.. if Iah run... any more, I'll... pass out...."
From the bushes, a Timberwolf emerged, and he howled when he caught sight of the two. Two more joined the first. Growling, they crept closer to the two.
"G..granite.." huffed Melody, "i..iah'm sorry..... I couldn't protect.... You..."
"No!" Cried Granite. "We won't die like this! W..we just can't!"
Melody took a stare at Granite as she huffed. "No, iah suppose we... Can't... Get behind me... Now."
The little filly complied, as the Timberwolves drew ever closer.
Granite shot a serious glare at Melody. "You saved my life... I will save yours."
The Timberwolves surrounded the two, teeth barred in a hungry snarl, and hunched in a pose ready to strike.
"Granite... What are y'all doin' ? Ya gonna... get yourself.. killed!"
Granite gave a small sigh, as she kept her eyes fixed on the slowly advancing Timberwolves. "I may not be a Pegasus, but I still got magic!" she lit her horn with a charge of magic.
Well, she does have a point..... All i'm doing is distracting them.
Melody quickly climbed into a high tree, and pulled Granite up with her, as ththe Timberwolves gave a howl of Fustration.
"Iah don't know how.... to say this, but Iah think.... we'ere Bucked."
