What little air Naiyu could hold in her lungs from the thick atmosphere was all but forced out of her as the assailant mercilessly threw her into the wall. By now the poor Summoner was putting up less and less of a fight, barely able to keep herself conscious at this point. She was used to being abused, the pain registering only in her mind as somehow being her own fault.
Yes, she was quite used to this, all too well...it was happening again...
The taste of copper laced the girl's mouth, causing her to sputter the red liquid out along the walls. Tears began to spring from her eyes without her knowing, burning the scratches along her face. Why? Why was it that she seemed to be destined for pain? Just when she was happy, just when she'd gotten used to this wonderful, warm and bright feeling...
It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair.
"...s-sto...p..." Her fading voice rasped out, the knife pressing harshly into her neck making her speak (or attempt to) carefully. She couldn't see, both from being forced into the wall and from the tears, but it was very clear this...man...meant to kill her. She would die here. This cold, barren, dank and dirty, forsaken hell of a place. Wukong wasn't there, and she was, as always, too weak to do anything for herself.
All but giving up, she reached up with her arms and tried, as hard as she could, to push the person off with the last of her strength. At the very least, she'd keep some hope...that she'd see him coming before...
The air seemed to grow still for a split second as light droplets of blood would leave Naiyu's neck at her struggle. There was nothing but the intention of killing behind the actions of the man, having no other purpose then to shed her blood.
The atmosphere seemed to thicken rapidly with another underlying tension - something not felt by most. Naiyu would feel the man -- back off? No. The sound of a body slamming against the cave wall behind her would resonate sharply through the stone corridor. It was so difficult to see, but perhaps -
There was fighting. No, struggling. The sound of pained cries, and muffled screams were the only sounds to pierce the veil of darkness. Then things fell still, and silent.
The air grew lighter as a large, furry hand would gently rest against the back of Naiyu's neck, then the sensation of cloth to catch the blood, "Naiyu?" Came Wukong's voice in a more gentle tone, laced with that cheery undertone but still a bit more serious then usual.
The sensation of his touch would fade, only to be initiated again as he'd turn her, taking her hand carefully to lead her out. It didn't seem like much time had passed, but as they'd reach the entrance of the cave, the setting sun would be visible beneath the dark clouds. Rain still pouring downward.
Wu rested his staff against his back as he'd turn to Naiyu, using the fading light to see how injured she might be. Within his grip was a torn piece of cloth, looking dirty but usable. It didn't appear to match anything he wore.
He'd give her a chipper smile, reassuring her of the situation, "Are you hungry?" He asked, not seeming worried in the slightest. Though Naiyu might pick up on the fact he had blood on his hands, and his armor. And it was very unlikely to be her's.

The cold sting of the blade dipping into her soft flesh made Naiyu near instantly drop to her knees. Warmth spread from the nape of her neck, down her exposed skin and dripping to the floor. She wasn't immediately concerned for her blood loss, thought, as she slowly but surely noticed the man who'd resolved to kill her had, in fact, released her...
Through the white noise clouding her near blank mind, the slam of a body rocked her out of her trance like state with a gasp. Sound came to her as if she was underwater, but she heard it...panic? Someone was struggling...When she hit the floor she'd landed facing the wall, and had no energy to turn herself, but she was certain just who had saved her. The cries echoed out harshly behind her until all went silent again. Her breath hitched in her throat as a small panic washed over her. Had he won? Or had he lost? That beast of a man did have a knife, after all...but she hoped...hoped to all high heaven...
Naiyu's body visibly trembled at Wukong's touch, the tired girl letting out a shaky breath in response to her name, unable to form words. He came...he really came...
Her body gave virtually no resistance as the Monkey King moved and lead her out. She struggled to make all movements, but kept herself moving if only to get away from that wretched place. She gave no waste of thought to the man they left behind. If he was hurt, it served him right, and if he was dead...
The golden sunlight was a welcome sight at the end of the cave, even the rain she missed dearly for that short, but seemingly endless stretch of time. The raindrops hitting her skin told her that her hair was the only thing hiding her freshly bruised and scratched upper half, but right now...she just wanted to feel anything but those icy fingers...
"...I..." Finally came her voice, ghosting out to the Champion, "...I-I...c-can't..t-tell..." Honestly she couldn't. She just felt cold all over, and taking notice of Wukong's condition, as well as the cloth in his hand, she fell silent again. "..."
