Bella felt the weight of the mare and had done her best to dodge the attack, but failed. Malice was far too swift for that, even though with Bella speed wasn't her strong point. Though she was a bit slower than the unicorn in her movements, her true strength lie in her stamina - be it running or even fighting - it was diffiicult to wear her down.
. . . .of course is she lost too much blood, that would be another story.
Shrieking in anger and pain as the Kalona trounced upon her, Malice had been right in the assumption that she would fight and squirm. She felt trapped underneath the weight of the kalona, she felt the first signs of pain burn through her body. Her legs were trapped, caught up, and hardly able to move. But she did her best to rear and shake her body, attempting to push herself back and untangle herself from the creature.
The bite on her lower neck was the most painful - teeth ripped in to her flesh, dug deep. Bella couldn't just stand there! She shook and kicked, bucking and attempting to knock Malice over. She had a thought - if she buckeled and collapsed, would Malice fall too? Could she somehow pin the kalona that was leeched upon her side. . . ?
In her frenzy and fury, which was only ripping the kalona's teeth further in to her neck and aggravating the wound, she did what she could. If Malice was so strong how did she like the full weight of a mare thrown upon her? If her legs were wrapped and entangled around her, Bella reacted accordingly. She allowed herself to buckle.
It was dangerous considering once she was down it would make her vulnerable, but there was a flicker of hope that Malice wouldn't expect such a sturdy mare to go down so quickly, nor be unable to free her hooves from their wrapped and dug position.
It was worth a shot. Anything to discourage the beast and stop the pain!
It would hurt - especially since it would probably entangle two of the kalona's hooves deeper in to her sides, but it might give Meshach a chance to do some damage of his own and maybe strain some leg muscles in the kalona!
((Haha - feel free to rip her up good, Tweek. x] Malice is right on cue when she thinks the mare needs to be taught a lesson. ))

As Meshach had fallen back from the Kalona he had instantly moved and did whatever it was he did before, he managed to heal some of the wound as it was so big now the horn could touch it and through doing it he was also able to gain some energy so as he opened his eyes and saw the red Kalona on that beautiful mare who probably thought he was some sort of idiot, he jumped up snorting.
What he did next he didn't think about, there was nothing to think about. First he ran into her as fast as he could, his head down low. Blood still making its way down his neck. He rammed the side of the Kalona pushing and pushing. He had managed to hit her by her back hip. It meant, he hoped that she wouldn't be able to put much weight on the back leg. He retreated though he was fully aware that she would come after him and so he just ran at her again trying to hit her in another spot. He didn't have time to think, she wasn't allowed to hurt Bella.
"You monster..." He whispered as he ran at her again, aiming at her front leg this time. If he could hurt her there then she wouldn't be moving far and they could get away then he could see if it was at all possible to heal Bella. He couldn't leave her like she was she could die.

(( Malice is exiting now because I think since Mesh can heal himself and Bella, it would keep going in circles for awhile XD You guyz can finish up though as much as you'd like <3 ))
Malice really wasn't sure what the mare had done, but she lost her balance for a moment, and felt herself let go of the tanish beauty. Her jaw was angry at her, since the blood was no longer flowing into her own body. It was no matter, she had done enough damage to the thing. That kept her content enough.
But she was shocked to feel a pain on her side, and she jerked her head quickly only to see the stallion attack her once again. He came at her with not one, but another attack onto her other leg.
After kicking him away from her, she took a few steps back and started to pant at the rush of events. She was starting to lose a ton of blood herself, and she obviously needed to learn more about Unicorns, and how they could heal themselves. That was a new piece of information, and it pissed her off to not know such a thing for so long.
If he was just going to heal himself, and heal the female, then where would that leave Malice? How long was the nonsense going to go on for? It was terrible for her to admit it, but she decided that this fight was over. Her father had taught her that not all fights would be won, so she would step back, and let herself heal before looking for a better prey for later on. She had succeeded though, in proving what her race was. Hopefully that Unicorn would lose his cockiness next time he saw one of her kind.
Luckily Malice's wings were alright, and with a growl, she flashed one last look at the stupid morsels. She had nothing to say to them, and within a few seconds, she had raised herself into the air, and vanished into the almost perfect sky. Blood was dripping off her body as she flew, and it was truly a disgusting sight to observed.

((Thanks Tweek! 8D They may need to meet again . . . without a unicorn. x3 ))
Bella hurt. There was a flurry of wings, a rush of air and suddenly everything was still. The mare had struggled back to her feet while Meshach had made his final blows, preparing herself to strike again. As it was, it took her a few moments to realize that instead of another run the kalona was retreating. . .!
Well, that was all well and good, but . . . . But Bella didn't trust the motives. If she could fly, if she could run couldn't she also summon help? Whether or not kalona's paired up or tagged team, the mare didn't know but she surely didn't want to find out!
Evening was fast approaching and blood and pain screamed in her ears. Her neck and back were torn open thanks to Malice's fangs, and a long, bleeding slice dripped blood - all thanks to the beasts tail! The worst of her wound was the base of her neck, her struggle having opened the wound wide and deep. It hurt terribly, her cream exterior now smeared with crimson.
It wasn't a good look for the girl, not at all.
Limping forward - her legs were scathed thanks to Malice's hooves and during her collapse she had twisted her ankle something fierce - the girl turned her terrified gaze upon Meshach.
She wanted to run.
She wanted to run far and fast and get the hell out of her plain. She felt exposed, she felt naked, and there was only one place she could go to rid herself of that feeling. What if the kalona came back? What if Malice brought friends?
No, Bella couldn't stay . . . . she couldn't! The full extent of what happened would hit her hard later - but for now, she could only think of her just as bloodied friend Meshach. "Are. . . . are you okay?" She whispered, a tremor in her voice.
Skiddish and wild, it took all her strength not to tear away in to the sunset, to run to only safety she had. She had to make sure Meshach was safe, was fine. . . . She had to make sure he could find safety, he could return to his family in one piece. No matter what. . . they had to get out of here.
The plains, HER plains, weren't safe anymore.
Hobbling from hoof to hoof, it was clear she was on edge. The pain would only get worse with time.

Other then the kick at him his last attack hadn't hurt him much. He had the Kalona's blood running down his horn and dripping on his face, his own blood still running down the gaping hole in his neck and it hurt so much. Now she was gone he could feel the pain worse then ever. He wanted his mother, she could heal him.
He turned to Bella and walked as close as he could to her, she was hurt worse then he was because he had been able to heal himself but now his head hurt and he didn't know if he would be able to heal Bella.
"Come on, lean on me a little if you want. We have to get in the forest."
Once they were in the forest he would let Bella do what she wanted but he wasn't going to let her get there by herself. He felt as if he had to protect her so he would find her some water though she probably wouldn't want to see what she looked like.
"I'm so sorry.."
He blamed himself after all he should have attacked the Kalona instantly. He didn't though and now they were both hurt and it was all his fault. Oh how stupid of him.

Bella was too stunned and wracked in pain to pay much attention to Meshach or his words. Her eyes were on the sky, making sure nothing would come back, making sure Malicee had no allies lurking nearby. How could this have happened . . . ? How . . what. . . why!?!
Senseless beatings really. . . .
Malice had wanted to kill them but they had struck back.
They had defended themselves, maybe not very well, but at least the monster was gone.
Chest heaving from emotion, pain, terror and adrenaline the mare tore her eyes from the cliffs to stare at Meshach. The woods weren't too far, but it wasn't the right woods. It wasn't the place she wanted to be, wasn't the sanctuary she needed to find to heal. But at least it would take them out of the open. . . .
She wouldn't leave Meshach yet - but by gods did she want to!
Her legs wanted to run despite the blood and despite the throb in her ankle. Jumpy, Bella quivered as she ducked in to the cool shade of the woods, pacing back and forth in anxiety. She was distracted, unable to focus, and on edge.
"Don't. . . . .It . . . It was one of those things that. . . " How could she describe it? Fate? The Spirits? Oh sure, she wanted to yell at Meshach for provoking the mare and welcoming her wrath but. . . . the lesson learned was one even he couldn't over look! Every experience had a lesson attached, it was all just a matter of discovering it.
Even under their sweaty and blood-splattered coats there was something to be learned. . . .
Bella would figure that out later.
"Can you - can you make it h-home?" She questioned, wanting to be sure. How much more terrible would she feel if she found out something happened to the striped male. Despite her own panic and needing nature, she wouldn't take off until she knew the male would be safe. She didn't think about asking him to heal her, she didn't think about her need for water, oh no. . .
Her top priority was running to the only safety she had - Azumoth's woods.
