There was only three left, yet it seemed the ranger was useless. Wounded and on the ground, Travis felt weak and insecured. Yet, his blood boiled when he watch the three bandits surrounding her. She might of been a guardian for humanity; she might of been a capible warrior, but there was no way the ranger was going to allow them to touch her.
He grabbed the shaft of the arrow that struck his arrow and pulled it out of him. Despite the pain, he got it out of him. Standing up, he targeted the bandit right behind him. He pulled the man off his horse and jabbed the arrow into the man's throat. Then using the same arrow, he picked up his bow, drew it back, and hit the bandit behind Analisia right between the eyes. He then smiled to the wolf, signaling to her that the last kill was her's.

Analisia watched as Travis got his last burst of strength and took down two of the remaining bandits, then motioned for her to take the final kill. She nodded her muzzle once then padded over to the mounted man. She snarled up at him, then lept beneath the horse, accomplishing two things. One, she bit and tore the leather that was holding the saddle to the horse, and two, she spooked the horse enough that it bolted. Which led to the man being deseated and falling to the ground. Unfortunately, the man was able to roll to his feet.
Analisia didn't like to see him standing. The wolf managed a chuckle, though it sounded more like a series of snorts. Then jumped at the man, tackling him to the ground, and ripping out his throat.
The danger now gone, Analisia's wounds overtook her and she crumbled beside the dead man, panting and forcing herself to stay awake. She didn't change back, she didn't have the energy for it. Analisia just lie there, blood pooling around her.

The ranger gasped as he saw Analisia subcome to her wounds and collapse on the ground. Travis scrambled towards her and scooped her up in his arms. He sat there, cradling the wolf in his arms. Ignoring his own wounds, he attended to do his best to treat Analisia's wounds. He tore long pieces from his cloak and applyed the improvised bandages to the areas where she was bleeding. He applied pressure with his good arm, trying to bleeding. He cried, "Comeon Analisia, stay awake, please comeon stay awake."

Once more, the tromping of hooves approached, this time bearing better news. Two guards, a duo from the front gate, rode up, one carrying Markus along. The boy pointed out the couple on the road, and the horses slid to a stop.
“I told you!” Markus insisted, still taking deep breaths from his sprint to town. “The ranger and the wolf. And there are some more unconscious bandits down the road.”
One of the guards turned to stare. “...The wolf?”
“Werewolf,” Mark explained simply. Secrecy could wait.

The wolf turned her light brown eyes up to Travis as he whispered to her. She felt the pain as he put pressure to her wounds. And forced herself to stay awake, now was not the time to be going to sleep, she told herself mentally. Then she heard horses again, causing herself to tense and one of the wounds to reopen and bleed all over again, despite Travis' best efforts. When she heard Markus' voice, Analisia smiled, the movement looking odd on a wolf. With the last of her strength, she changed back into her human form. The clothing torn around her shoulders and chest, exposing more flesh than was decent for humans' tastes. She took one of Travis' hands in her own, then turned her weak smile over to Markus. "You did good kid..." she says weakly. "Well are you idiots going to keep staring, or are you gonna patch me and my friend here up?" she attempts a chuckle. But it turns into a hacking cough. "Figure a human would be easier for you to work on than a wolf."

The ranger did his best smile as he grabbed Analisia's hand. He held on it tightly while the guards attempted to patch the werewolf's wounds. Despite the guard's assistance in heling the ranger's wound, Travis ordered him to help Analisia first.. The ranger looked at Analisia and wasn't sure she'll make it. While it seemed crazy to say, it would be the only he might say these. He tilted her head up to his and said, "I know you're going to make it, and I know you're going to be fine...but if you don't make it, I want to tell you that I love you."

Markus, still a bit winded from the trip, practically fell off the horse, pinwheeling his arms for balance when he hit the ground. He muttered a quick ‘thank you’ to Analisia, then stumbled over to Travis, placing his hand on the man’s shoulder. At the same time, he waved over the guard Travis had previously redirected to Analisia.
“Sir Huntman?” Mark whispered. “I understand your pride and concern, but you need to make it too.”

Analisia chuckled at Travis and Markus. "While I love you too. I am going to be fine. Just give me a few hours to heal up, I am a werewolf as you both saw." She chuckles again, then cringes from the motion. "Markus is right, you need to heal up Travis, I will be fine." She moved her hurt arm to prove her point. She moved to sit up, then got dizzy and fell back into Travis' arms. "Maybe I might need more than a few hours." She says with another chuckle, then motions for the guards to focus on Travis. "And how are you youngling? That was a bit of a way to sprint."
