Blood splattered onto the tree bark in front of Zeke, a loud, deep yell of both surprise and intense pain left the beta's lips. Lowering his fist to rest in front of him, his other hand removed itself from Tex's throat and gripped his injured hand's wrist with all the strength he could muster without breaking it. Gritting his teeth, the earth was dug up as he turned on the toes of his feet, his cold, dark eyes locking with the fearless yellow hues of Kaden's. He measured him up as the intruder approached him cautiously but unafraid of the fierce power he held, especially with the intruders men outnumbered. A smirk tugged at the corners of his chapped lips.<br/><br/>"Was that weak command supposed to be threatening to me? You're outnumbered. And outmatched when it comes to strength. Don't think just because you caught us by surprise, you're going to win. I'll do whatever the he-" Zeke's rant was cut off as sudden movement beneath him caught his attention. But nothing could have saved him from his fate as a massively loud crack echoed around the sudden silence of the camp. Tex's foot had connected with Zeke's skull faster than he could sense, Zeke's rather heavy body flying off of her small body and into the trunk of a massive oak across the clearing. It sounded like the crack of lightning in the sky as body collided with the oak's trunk, a deep crack splitting the trunk in half, moving straight up to the very top of the highest point. Though the tree didn't fall, it sagged slightly from the severe damage it sustained.<br/><br/>Blood dripped from Zeke's nose, mouth, and ears. His black eyes lifeless as he body slid down to the bottom of the trunk before falling face forward into the cool grass. Tex stared at his body, years of hatred shining defiantly in her eyes. She may not be as skilled as Rain when it came to fighting but sure had a hell of a lot of strength. Chest heaving with uneven breaths, Tex grit her teeth and took hold of the chains around her wrists. Slowly struggling up into at least somewhat of a sitting position, she used the tree for support and leaned back against it. Tex wasn't leaving the rescue up to them solely, though they would have to be doing most of the fighting because she had practically used up the last of any energy she had.<br/><br/>Tex's mismatched eyes found themselves wandering up to look at Kaden. He was even more handsome up close, it made her long to just touch him. Even if she barely even brushed him, she just needed to touch him. There was no reply from Tex's wolf to Kaden's, for her wolf had been dormant for so long now, she didn't even know how to twitch inside the human cage in which she was trapped. "Hi Kaden.." Tex whispered so softly, it could've been mistaken as a whisper from the wind.<br/><br/>In the moment it had taken Tex to glance up at Kaden, the whole camp was in an uproar at Zeke's sudden death. Men grabbed weapons and the more fierce ones shifted into their wolf forms. Leaping at the six lonely men, the wolves tore and snapped at whatever flesh they could get a hold of. Though there were a very small amount of men, maybe a handful that dropped their weapons and stood together, refusing to fight Tyler's men.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Rain hardly wasted a single second as Tyler released her from her frozen position. The moment Kaden was alerted to their presence, she tried to dart out from behind Tyler, snapping at the leg of a transformed wolf that had originally had his sights set on James. Jerking her head back, the brown wolf crashed headfirst into the ground. A deep throated growl came from Rain as Tyler moved back in front of her, blocking her from any fight that might come along. As the sound of wood splitting reached her ears, Rain's head bolted upright and she leapt onto the bed of the truck, now being able to see her sister.<br/><br/>It felt like her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach and was being stabbed a thousand times over as she saw Tex's condition. Her beautiful features had been masked by the bruises and filth that covered her body from years of abuse. A soft whine escaped her, Rain's ears falling back to rest against her head, sorrow clouding her features. She felt like a failure as a big sister; she had given up and failed Tex, left her to rot in Court's hands.<br/><br/>Rain had hardly heard the thought Tyler had before she quickly obeyed, not once protesting to even be remotely close to her sister. Dodging and darting through the mass of men, Rain slid next to her sister and in a second had shifted into human form, enveloping her sister in her arms. "Tex...Oh god Tex im so sorry...I had no idea you were still alive...I would've never ever left you there if I had known...oh god im so sorry...We're gonna get you out of here.." she whispered to her sister, tears streaming down her cheeks as she buried her face in her sister's hair.<br/><br/>Rain looked to be completely off guard but all her senses were open and she felt the air disturbed from above her, the tears were cut off and instantly she was in kill mode. Shoving her sister beneath her as she transformed into her wolf form, the gray heavy body of a bigger male wolf came flying down at them from the lowest branch on the tree. But he had made a lethal mistake, choosing Rain as his fighting partner.<br/><br/>In one swift motion, Rain tilted her head to the side, snapped her jaws closed on the gray wolf's neck and slammed his body into the earth. Biting down with all the might she had, bones cracked and gave way, blood sprayed the grass and stained both the gray wolf's fur as well as Rain's. His throat was completely crushed and in seconds the lifeless body was laying in a thick pool of blood. Slowly releasing her grip on his throat, a look of blood lust seemed to take over Rain's entire being.<br/><br/>These were the men that had brutally raped and beaten her sister for so many years. The men that had starved and tortured Tex. The men that were going to be ripped apart limb from limb in slow agonizing pain in order to pay back the debt they owed her baby sister.<br/><br/>Rain's thoughts were completely consumed by death and pain, until she felt the gentle, weak stroking her sister gave her. Her whole being seemed to crumble at her sister's touch, collapsing into a heap next to her with her head in her lap. Whispering whines of misery escaped her with every twitch of movement, there was nothing like the pain of feeling as if she had failed her baby sister, the one person who she had left that had been with her for the entirety of her life. The one she had swore to protect. The only pain greater than this would be the pain of loosing Tyler.<br/><br/>The thought of loosing Tyler snapped her back into reality, instantly bolting from Tex's strokes to stand erect, searching the throng of bodies frantically. Once she caught a glimpse of Tyler's black fur and knew he would be alive, though not necessarily unharmed, Rain turned her attention back to Tex. Shifting again to her human form, Rain took hold of the chain and gave one swift jerk, the weak metal snapping easily under her superior strength. "Tex, I want you to stay with Kaden. Mirror his moves, stay with him. I know you're not very strong right now but I need you to do this for me," Rain said softly, bending down to gently push her sister's hair away from her two colored eyes.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Tex gave a simple and determined nod as her sister asked her to be strong and with Rain's help, she stood again. Free of that damned chain, that thought alone sent adrenaline rushing through her, enough to make her feel as if she could fly. And as Rain let go of her hand, Tex didn't waste a moment, darting through the tangle of fighting men and stray bullets. Seemingly attaching herself to Kaden's shadow, she kept with him, easily keeping up with him as he fought, almost as if she really was his shadow. Her movements were fluid and meaningful.<br/><br/>As a man tried to charge her, Tex's hand slid down the side of Kaden's outer leg till she came to his boot, her touch dangerous enough to almost cause distraction for both of them. Grasping the blade in his boot, she whipped it out and sent it flying into the man's thigh. A scream of pain was all he managed to get out before his body fell to the ground in excruciating pain for she had specifically hit a major artery in his thigh.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Once Rain was positive her sister would make it to Kaden, she shifted and slipped into the shadows. Slinking over to Tyler, Rain involved herself in his opponents, having his back as she pressed her fur up against his and kept sharp eyes out for any unsuspecting enemies.
