Elizabeth watched in fear as Nika had started coming her way, and she could see the wolf's hackles were raised, hearing the growl emanating from the creature's throat. Just stay still, just stay still.. She continued to repeat to herself in her mind, very nearly not able to stand with how badly she was shaking as Nika was only coming closer, and closer.<br/><br/>When the wolf pounced towards her, snapping at her heels in an attempt to get her to flee, Elizabeth just closed her eyes tightly, and stood there. With violently shaking hands like the rest of her body, she fumbled about within her jacket to grab the pendant and bring it out from hiding from beneath her shirt. Once she had it she held onto it so tight her knuckles were white, though she held it out for Nika to see, barely able to hold it still, though she kept the chain for it around her neck just in case she were to drop it, it wouldn't fall to the floor.<br/><br/>"A-A-Aleksey." She stuttered horribly, that being the only word she could manage for that moment as she waited to see if Nika would snap at her again, waiting to feel a nip, while she had reluctantly opened her eyes once more after having kept them closed tightly. "F-For A-Aleksey." She stated again half a minute later while still holding out the pendant for Nika to see, trying to say something more though she couldn't get out the words.<br/><br/>Simply, if she could speak, she'd have said, 'Do this for Aleksey.' Meaning, spare her, for Aleksey's sake. If Nika knew the way they looked at each other, she and Aleksey, then she was positive she'd feel horrible if she'd make Aleksey feel as horrid as she was sure he'd feel, if she were to be killed. And seeing the way Nika had pitied for Aleksey, she was hoping, practically praying, that for Aleksey at least, Nika could spare her.
