There was a buzzing. Was she dead? Everything had gone quiet aside that ringing in her ear. What was it? Was she departing the world? She felt the vibration of footsteps approaching. Who? Muffled voices began to speak, but Nova couldn't work out who they were or what they wanted. ii]Im not dead...[/i]She decided as she raised her head. Some of her hearing came back then, but she saw blood on the floor where her ear had been. Then it hit her what had happened. She shook her head and winced as a stab of pain shot through her head. The pain was insane and she stumbled through the undergrowth. Another bullet bounced off the ground next to her and she knew then if she didn't bolt, then she would die the next time one of those stones hit her.
Gathering up the last of her strength, the lioness bolted past the humans, knocking them both to the floor with her speed. She spotted Mio ahead.. Bleeding... And limping. She halted next to him, her ear covered with blood.
"Mio quick, now is our chance to escape"
