The female let go as Tobias lunged at the wolf, killing it before the male could snap his fangs on her. Ears twitching as the male attacked the last two males left in the barracks, silence soon falling over the basement part of the barracks. Giving a jerky nod of her head as she was addressed, the gray wolf took a cautious step forward and then another...forcing legs to take her weight and move across the floor towards the dual-colored wolf, her steps driving pain up into her body until she reached him, bowing her head and brushing it against the male's chest in thanks before carefully stepping back and heading towards the stairs and beginning to ascend into the rest of the barracks on the first floor. Pausing in the entrance, she poked her head out, nose sniffing the air for any signs of pack wolves, not knowing they weren't allowed inside at all except for the six that were now dead in the barracks with her. Finding no scents nearby, the gray wolf padded onto level flooring and cast her eyes about her before trotting down against the wall.
Her heart felt like it was racing in her chest, fear filling the small wolf as she stumbled about within the barracks and pausing at any creak of the floor she heard. She didn't dare look behind her, afraid she would lose her balance and fall again if she did so, struggling to remain on her paws. She would have to make her own way knowing there was no way her mate could carry the injured female and fight if it came to another fight and she hoped to God it didn't. The wolf internally frowned to herself but stumbled on, adrenaline mixing with the fear and fueling the female to keep going before she completely crashed and couldn't move. Once they got outside, she would be forced to let Tobias take the lead, the female was in no condition to get out of here on her own or lead the way.
She paused as the neared the ajar door, the wolf's tail falling and tucking once more between her legs as her body lowered to a crouch, ears pressing flat against her head. Her nose twitched rapidly as she scented the outside ahead of them. Fear pushed the wolf on as well as the desperate escape to freedom for her and Tobias. The female slunk towards the door and blinked uncertainly as she saw it was slightly open before shaking her head and pushing herself up higher until she wasn't crouched against the floor and standing properly...or as properly as she could be with her injuries. "I don't know military lingo," spoke Angelica through their bond. If he started on that, she wouldn't have a clue what he was saying and be unable to follow. VeiledPariah
