It felt like slow motion as she watched the worms gather toward them, as one lunged out toward it’s fallen friend and landed short. Rexanna cringed silently at the sound that came with it, and she watched while a second worm attempted a similar idea only to bounce of all things off the worm and tried to reorient itself. For a moment, Rexanna thought perhaps to attack that one that was confused, hoping to aim at it in its confusion.
Yet before she could manage to attack the medium sized worm, she felt a surprisingly sharp munch on her ankles. One, glancing off her but she could still feel the slime from where it had been – she couldn’t yet tell if it was slime or blood. The next attacked harder, and she could feel the tender bruising on her ankle as she stepped back in an attempt to get away from it. But it had intertwined itself. She momentarily forgot about the fox as she gripped the knife handle harder, trying to reach down and grab onto the worm and cut the length of its body – uncertain where it would be the most fatal.
While she attempted that, she stepped again and aimed that foot to land on the second worm that had glanced off her – her eyes darting to Jigano as he bit down hard on one of the worms, and for a moment she admired the strength in the jaw for being able to do so much destruction in such a small size. After all, these weren’t normal garden worms.
