Wesley tumbled to the ground, groaning when he landed on his stomach. He jumped back up and hit her across the face with his night stick.

Molli yelped at the pain of the nightstick and fell back in surprise. She tried for her feet, but every muscle in her body screamed for her to stay down. She was stuobborn though. Molli staggered to her feet and put her fists up like a boxer.
"Come on, try to do that again" She threatend, hooking him across the cheek and staggering back.

Wesley growled and stumbled back, he then again hit her across the face with his nightstick.

Molli fell down again, this time it took her a while to catch her breath. She rolled on her side, coughing and choking on dust.
"T-This isn't...Even a f-fair fight..." Molli coughed, clutching her face and laying pathetically in the mud. Where was Drake when she needed him?

Wesley laughed "I don't have to be fair with you, Feral!" he hissed, raising his nightstick again ready to strike her. Just as he swung a figure moved between them and caught his hand. Wesley blinked when he realized Drake was the one who was trying to protect Molli. Drake didn't waste any time, he nailed Wesley in the nose and knocked him out cold. Drake turned and quickly and kneeled down next to Molli.

Molli blinked at Drake, part of her wanted to crack a grin, hop up, and give Drake a high five. Her other half wanted to go hide in a dark hole of embarrasment. This was what? two days in a row that he'd saved her? Talk about a Mary-Sue. Molli tried her best to roll her eyes, but that just hurt. Her face throbbed, everything hurt. Molli looked again at Drake and felt a stab of jelousy. How come she couldn't jut nock Wesley out like that? Drake definatly needed to teach her some fighting techniques. Molli put a hand on her rib cage, her ribs hurt so badly, she made a small noise of pain, then looked over at Abby. Abby had come out from under the bed, tears were clearly visible on her cheeks and in her eyes. Molli frowned, not liking to see Abby this way. She couldn't think of anything to say, she wanted to get up and leave, run, right now. Molli struggled to get her feet under her, but only managed to fall back down. Eventually she looked up at Drake and gave the best smile she could manange "We should...Leave..." Was all she had to say. No 'thank you', no embrace. But Molli wasn't a really touchy-feely type girl, not anymore.

Reggie came through the entrance, he stepped over Wesley and hurried over to Abbie, looking to make sure she was alright.

"Yeah, we need to go before he wakes back up." Drake said starting to help Molli up.

Molli nodded and took Drake's hand, trying to pull herself up. Her legs felt like jelly as she stood, and her right eye was begining to swell shut. Abby looked at how beat up Molli was and let loose a whimper. She wiped her tears away quickly and looked at Reggie. Molli frowned at Abby and stroked the young girl's head.
"I'm okay" She lied, amd Abby nodded, believing her.
Molli began to limp out the door, trying to walk as normally and as fast as she could.

Drake grabbed his back-pack, and started after her, "DO you need a hand?" he asked seeing that she couldn't walk.

Reggie walked with Abby.

Molli snorted "I'm..." She was about to say okay, but then realized how long she'd probably be walkin gfor a while "not fine...I could use a hand" She admitted, looking at her boots.

Drake thought a minute then he took the pack and was able to buckle it around Reggie. Drake then put her arm around his neck and was able to pick her up on his back, piggy back style. She didn't weigh hardly anything so it didn't bother him.

Molli's cheeks turned crimson when he hauled her on his back, but from what she didn't know. Molli frowned "Thanks..." She said pathetically, really she couldn't thank him enough.

Drake looked over his shoulder at her, he noticed her blushing but didn't say anything, "You're welcome... Molli..." he replied. He started walking in a hurried pace.

Molli felt like shreiking, she hated being so helpless. She wanted to walk, but she knew she'd just slow them all down. Molli sighed, and blinked, still wanting to cry.

Reggie snorted and walked alongside them, he knew they were going to be wanted criminals.

Drake looked back at Molli, "Are you alright?" he asked.
