the earth lumbers on

What Ku said about missing stuff. So much!!! aaaa Edit: I've had a few questions about realism, which I want to clear up here! After this thread, JD travels pretty far afield, which she'd be unable to do with a broken leg, hence me letting her off easy here. <3

Things went wrong quicker than she could keep up with. All she knew was that she had failed at her task, a poor watchman in the unfamiliar territory.

First one wolf appeared, then many, too quick for her to count. More joined the fray, both from the beasts and their own numbers, but she was hardly able to pay attention to their battles, not when she had her own to fight. At first a single wolf targeted her, a golden beast with flashing eyes. Fear struck her, invigorated her. She would not die today.

Junkyard Dog fell into a defensive position with practiced ease, but before either could strike, another joined their midst. In a one on one fight, she had little chance of victory. In a two against one fight, she had little chance of survival. Still, fight she would. "Bitch!" she spat at both of them, "cowards, you are." They snapped at her front legs and she reared back, stumbling backwards to avoid their crushing jaws.

Reaper came to her rescue moments later, much to her great relief. She couldn't see what happened after he engaged the female who had attacked her, as she was still more concerned with Flash.

Soon enough, Dogmeat was tearing through the crowd, providing her an avenue for escape. One that she took gladly, tearing away from the scene with the speed her breed is known for. She saw little as she ran, though she was aware of bodies around her, either friend or foe. As she fled, she felt the sting of a wound on her front leg. The wind burned it, but still she ran on, fear pushing her. It was a long time before she stopped running, glancing around wildly to learn of what had happened.
