<sub>Fane snapped his jaws back around, tearing through the Strigoi's side again, ripping and snapping and growling. Something had snapped in Fane when Jaci had been put in danger. He went berserk.

Leto adjusted his grip, opening his jaws only to snap his jaws together. He swung his head back and forth, ripping off chunks of flesh. The vampire cried in pain, struggling to fight back though his blows became weak. He was dying.

"ENOUGH!"</sub>

[Goldie]

Josie let go when someone shouted. She looked up to see who the voice came from.

Jane moved from where she stood ontop of a Strigoi, it's face having horrid scratches. This vampire would be scarred for life. She snarled, making the Strigoi scramble up and run off, dashing back out through the broken window.

Jaci laid limply on the ground, her breathing faint and shallow.

_{Doru looked furious, glaring at the Strigoi who was pinned beneath Leto's paw. The Strigoi who Fane had been attacked managed to break free in the confusion and turned, lunging for Doru. He must've known it was suicide, because in a flash, Doru had shifted, sank his teeth into the vampire's shoulder, where the shoulder and neck met, and jerked his head to the right. The vampire staggered, shocked as Doru returned to his human form like nothing had happened, pulling a nearby blanket around his waist. The vampire released a pitiful whimper before it crumpled into a heap.}

Josie dipped her head in a bow to Doru, as did Jane. The two didn't notice their mother laying on the ground.

<sub>Doru eyed the dying Strigoi beneath Leto, before he turned and nodded at his wolves. "I'll have my cleaners clean up this mess," he said nonchalantly, as if he were talking about dinner and not cleaning up dead vampires in his living room. He, too, failed to see Jaci's form. Without another word he turned and returned to his office.

Fane let out a low whine, nudging Jaci's still form a few times. His yellow-green eyes were anguished.</sub>

[Goldie]

Josie rubbed her head under Leto's chin. She moved away and licked his cheek sweetly, blue gaze thankful. "Thanks for..saving me. For knocking me out of that daze." She whined softly. Her little black ears pointed at him and her tail wagged a bit.

Jaci squeezed her eyes shut. She returned the whine before opening her eyes, the electric blue orbs pained. "Fane." she panted. "Are the girls alright? Did we win..?" She tried standing up.

[Cloudy]

<sub>Leto nodded. "I made a promise," he told her. "I promised I'd keep you two safe." He closed his eyes, a gentle rumble echoing in his chest. A few burly Priciolici came down, dragging the dead and dying Strigoi away. The rearranged the furniture, cleaned up whatever blood had been spilled, and left.

"Yes and yes." Fane responded in a relief-filled voice. "Do not get up, Jaci. You hit your head pretty hard. Just rest for a little while."</sub>

(Meep)

[Goldie]

Josie leaned against Leto lightly, holding a sore paw up. She dug out a shard of glass with her teeth and spit it out, watching as one of the cleaners swept it up. "Jane can take care of herself most of the time. Thank you though."

_{Leto gave a single nod, blinking his stormy gray eyes slowly. Well, he was exhausted now. Usually, Leto didn't break much of a sweat after training. But now, after his first battle, his legs were quivering with exhaustion and he could barely keep his eyes open.}
