Destiny Revealed (Teen RP *Accepting*)

[InTheShadows]

Lucinda glared hatefully at Davonte. There was nothing more that she would like to do than march over there, grab his pitiful arrow and drive it through his eye socket. But Bear was more important at the moment. A sigh hissed through her clenched teeth and she crouched beside Bear to, yet again, check his pulse. As she crouched, she kept Davonte in her sights and her thighs tensed to jump back up if need be.

Trinity watched Lucinda and Bears back, arrows at ready.

Davonte ducked out of the way of the dagger, but to Davonte's devastation, the dagger hit Nischa in the chest. The pony squealed and reared, lashing out and hitting Davonte in the shoulder, then the back. Davonte fell onto his face, much like before. Nischa turned and galloped back down the trail, Ambra trailing behind him. Davonte rose, cursing loudly, and glared at Trinity with a snarl. His body looked electric, like he was about to explode at any instant. He wanted to jump on Trinity, grab her hair, and punch her in the face until it was a bloody pulp. He clenched his fists and ground his teeth. He was seething, but there was still something holding him back: He couldn't hurt Trey, and these people were his friends. He wanted them all dead, yes, but he had something of a conscience and an allegiance to his brethren, whether they still wanted it or not.

Bear's heart was still beating. The trooper was still hanging on, but when he awoke his mood would only worsen.

"Good job Trinity," Lucinda said. (xD no sarcasm btw.) Knowing Bear was okay for now, Lucinda left Trinity and Trey to guard the opening of the cave and took a chance and rushed around Davonte while he was preoccupied. If she wanted to do anything productive, she needed those weapons attached to her saddle.

Davonte just watched her run by. He had no weapons and had no means of killing her, unless he wanted to snap her neck. That involved precision and speed, and she was already darting past.
In a split second after she ran, he quickly decided to flee. He was quick, short people normally are, and he darted down the path at a sprint, following the trail of blood that Nischa had left.

"Sh*t!" she said as she saw his receding profile. Lucinda vaulted onto Beau, his eyes wide and nostrils flaring. She kicked him into a gallop after Davonte before he could get himself into a spot a little less accommodating for a horse. She fumbled with the rope slung over the pommel of her saddle, sweaing as it became caught in the leather strap that held it on.

[blackoutTaxonomist]

Davonte could hear hooves behind him and he tried to push himself harder. He thought about faking her out and hiding behind a rock, decided it was too risky, and kept running. It was hard to lose a horse and rider when you didn't have a horse, and his only hope was to find Nischa and Ambra. Hopefully Nischa was well enough that he could follow Ambra; it would break Davonte's heart to have to leave him behind.

Giving up trying to untie her rope, Lucinda pushed Beau in an arc to cut Davonte off. Pulling up in front of him, Lucinda pulled Beau to a sliding stop, though he was not trained like a cutting horse and over shot his cut-off. Lucinda grabbed an axe and, thankfully, the leather strap came unhinged as it was supposed to. Just as she was about to throw it though, the rope around her saddle chose this inopportune moment to untangle itself and fell under Beau's hooves. Beau snorted and shyed away from the rope, unbalancing Lucinda enough to ruin her line of fire and resulted in the axe falling short a good two feet.

Davonte skidded to a stop as well, bending down to grab the axe she threw and missed him with. He held it up as if he were going to throw it, but he was backing away. "If you move, I'm going to throw this and take out one of your horse's legs." He sounded a bit hoarse from all the running. Not much of a long distance runner... He was too small and had too much muscle mass for that sort of activity. He let out a piercing whistle and kept backing away, his eyes trained on Lucinda and her horse.

[InTheShadows]

Lucinda stared at him, not daring to move and risk causing unnecessary injury to her mount. Beau, not paying attention to the drama unfolding between his rider and the short one with the axe, stepped sideways to escape the rope, only succeeding in wrapping it tighter around his legs. Panicked, Beau snorted and reared, his front legs striking the air in an effort to dislodge the rope. Lucinda clung to the horn and pulled one rein to the side, pulling Beau's head sideways and forcing him to replace his hooves on the ground.
