(open) An Open Wound.

[Deleted]

The wolf's claws scraped down Finn's arm and she cried out in pain. The process was repeated until the wound was wide open and Finn was losing blood. Seeming satisfied, the wolf turned and ran off into the forest, leaving Finn whimpering, cold, scared and bleeding...

Finn sat up with a start. At first she thought it was all a dream, but she gave a loud moan of pain when she tried to move her arm. She was still in the forest. It had only been about 10 minutes ago that she'd been cut by the wolf, and that hadn't been much sleep. But she had to stop bleeding. A bandage...she needed a bandage, until she could get her arm stitched up. Finn got to her feet but fell straight back down again.

She was too weak to be able to stand. Finn thought for a long while and then, using her good arm and both her legs, she began dragging herself along. It was a slow and painful process, but eventually she came out of the forest entrance. Finn leaned against a tree, tired and bleeding, and hoped that somebody in the park nearby, would spot her and come to help her. Because somebody had to be able to see her.

Just in case they couldn't, Finn summoned all the strength she had left to shout. "HELP!" was what she shouted, before she slumped against the tree again, closing her eyes and holding her bleeding arm, hoping, willing, wishing for somebody to come along and help her. Sure, it may have seemed desperate, but Finn was in a lot of pain.

Serves her right, she supposed, for going after a wolf. But she just had to see, she couldn't help it. Finn's eyes opened so she could observe the park opposite. It was night time, but there were still several people there, what with there being a restaurant next door so the parents could eat and keep an eye on their playing kids. Finn shut her eyes again. "Help." she mumbled again, hopelessly. [/font]

Mentor was walking along quietly, hands in his pockets, humming quietly. His world then came to a sudden stop when he heard a call.. a begging call for help. Looking around with very observant eyes, his ears listening for the call again. Colin looking around, moving in circles as he waited for that one voice again.

There was the call again, The Mentor wasted no time, he ran down the street, coming across a park with a woman laying there. Concern suddenly took over the Time Lord's mind as he ran to her side, taking his coat off and laying it over her to protect her from the cold and rain that was steadily starting to fall, "What happened miss?" He said as the Time Lord looked at her wound. It looked bad.. but he will not know until he gets her to a better location than in the darkening night.

He gently scooped her up, looking around once he was standing, "I have to take you someplace safer.. and to look at your wound." He said smoothly, then headed off towards the restaurant. He came to a stop at the door, good thing it was a push to open one, walking over to a table he set the woman on it.

"Well this looks nice," the Doctor commented, stopping in front of the restaurant building. It looked comfy, in a nice rural area. A very homely evening attraction. Good thing it was one of the nights when the Time Lord preferred to take things easier than normal. "Come on River!" he said to his wife.

He'd decided to treat her with dinner without any monsters or chases. Sure, they both loved it, but they also both liked to relax for a day or two sometimes. He just hoped that it wouldn't be interrupted by any strange situations.

As the Doctor went to go into the establishment, a man rushed past him carrying a wounded woman. Instincts kicking in, he followed the pair, wanting to help.

So much for no strange situations.

"Oh, that's bad," he commented when he saw the damage up close. He wasn't paying attention to much else, the man least of all. The only thing he did to show he knew that this woman's rescuer was present was wave a hand to stop him from pushing the Time Lord away. "It's alright, I'm a Doctor. Well, the Doctor, not a Doctor. Doesn't matter." Gently, he took a hold of the injured arm. "Ouch. Looks like claws, or something."

Luckily for the Doctor, River was not in the least put out by a mystery dropping in front of them in the middle of one of their dates. She'd learned long ago to flow with the tide, so to speak, and that held no less true now.

Following him without question, River sized up the girl's wound first as well.

"The angle isn't right for teeth."

Turning her attention to the man, her gaze lingered at his hands, just to clarify the obvious, before deterring the now doubt well meaning young waitress who was fluttering about how 'you can't just come in and sit down, a hostess would direct you to your seat' by quickly telling her to fetch a first aid kit.

"What happened?" River finally addressed the couple, looking from the injured woman to the man.

Mentor blinked a couple times as this other Time Lord then at the woman that soon was inside as well, he was not sure of what to tell The Doctor.

The Mentor looked to River, "I found her out in the park." He looked between the two of them, "Your Time Lords right?" He shook his head at how premature that was, "Erm I found her laying in the park and brought her in here to get a first aid kit. I planned to take her to the hospital once I got her patched up." He told the two strangers.
