Rika whimpered and had hoped that telling him she was really a male and reminding him of the curse would make him let go. Alas...this was not the case. Screaming again as he yanked her hard. Shaking in fear. "My friend. He is a dingo guy. He will get you.." She said in a whisper. Not wanting to answer but he scared her. "He is my friend! He will protect me from you!" Tensing and expecting another blow when he found out. Maybe she shouldn't have said the bit about Alecs protecting her but it had slipped out. The damage was done. "ALECS!" She screamed again. Trying to get him to hear her. Tears trialing down her cheeks. They stopped and she let out a happy sound. Never happier to see her friend then she was now. Falling backwards and pulled her knees to herself after scooting backwards. Trembling and buried her face in her arms. Unable to watch in case Alecs wasn't the one who came near her. Whimpering until she felt the nuzzling. Opening her eyes and kissed the top of his head. "Thank you..." She said softly. Her wrist had a nasty bruise imprinted in it. When he turned back to normal she threw her arms around him. "He was hurting me again. He won't leave me alone. He is crazy and violent and scares me." She shook as she held onto him. "I'll...I'll be alright. I'm better now that you are here with me. I was...just making you a protection charm to keep you safe." She said shyly. Showing him the destroyed charm. "I'll make you another one. To keep you safe." She said again. Burying her face in his shoulder.
