This was absolutely terrifying. Absolutely extremely terrifying. The poor timid girl had one hand grasping tightly around the clutch as the other hand was squeezing the steering wheel. Bright eyes widen as she attempted to scan their environment her mind barely able to grasp the concept that they were stuck within a monster truck rally. If they had been in a different arena, one where they weren't in a monster truck she might have enjoyed herself. The smell of gasoline, the feeling of the thunderous roar of the engine, the sound of rubber burning the ground used to be pleasing to her senses. However, at this point in time none of those things were pleasing to her at all. With Tobias shifting into his human form his scowl and voice of disdain was completely ignored. The lupine finding it reasonable on her end to tie the two down with their seat belts. Her lithe frame was shaking like a lonesome leaf on a barren branch, not pleased at all with the situation Tobias got them in, she was greatly uncomfortable and wanted nothing more than for the two of them to get out of this - alive.

With her male counterpart knowing where the accelerator was she felt their behemoth of a vehicle roar to life as it zoomed through the arena. Everything around her seemed to past in a swirl of colors as Tobias began to turn around and around in circles, his foot not easing off the pedal. As he swung them right and left she felt both their bodies fly within the seat, jerking the two left and right, and surely if it wasn't for the seatbelts they may have actually flow out the window. As a barreling orange and yellow truck was heading their way her hand grabbed the wheel and she jerked it to the left allowing them to dodge their opponent. Once more she ignored the sharp stab of his eyes glaring at her thinking she was at least doing the two a tremendous favor. With Tobi looking down on the floor he did not notice the bright blue truck colliding into their side. A sharp cry was let out as she felt his larger frame slam into her, causing the poor girl to be trapped between his body and the console. Her head would lean back into the side of the chair letting out a soft moan as one hand messaged her temple. Pain was all she could feel as it traveled up and down her spine to her head, her eyes shifting towards the boy with messy hair. As Tobias leaned off her she took a deep breath as her softer voice tumbled out, explaining to the boy that the rules he knew were not applicable here.

"This is a monster truck...you are allowed to hit other monster trucks...breaking cars is good here."

Of all the situations and vehicles Tobias would learn to drive it would appear that a monster truck would be the ideal auto machine. Although his concern in the manner of their vehicle would have been touching, should it be a vehicle that was meant to be fretted over, this was not the time nor place to worry if they had a dent or a messed up paint job. There were far more important things to worry about like...staying alive. While he sped them off and continued his erratically turning method her eyes would close as she attempted to stave off the sickness she was feeling in her gut. Her eyes would open slightly to see where they were on this course. Unable to scream or holler she watched as they side-swiped the red monster truck. With both vehicles at a stand-still she could hear the beard male shot gruffly his threat. Instantly she would press herself into Tobias' side as if to hide not wanting to continue to anger the man, but Tobias seemed all in earnest to actually push the red truck and the angry man inside it, towards a wall. That Tobias would find all of this fun was hardly surprising. Now that he was asking about going up a 'ramp' caused her to turn her head and she let out a small gasp of shock. Nervous her lithe frame shook as her fingers twisted around anxious about what was going to happen next.

"That is not a hill...that is a ramp...it will make this truck fly. You want to fly, right? Well, keep the steering wheel straight...like this...and keep your foot pressed down on the accelerator like you are right now."

With Tobias following her order she felt their truck go faster, her hand snaking around the clutch as she felt their truck actually go up on the incline. Alarm bells were ringing in her head as she watched their ramp begin to decrease in length. As soon as she felt the truck actually 'soar' through the sky her eyes frantically looked at the steering wheel making sure it was straight, as she noticed the trucks' nose point down, as they headed for the pile of dirt they were supposed to reach. As soon as she felt their front tires make contact with the ground she pulled back on the clutch forcing the truck to park as they rolled down, tires shrieking, as her hand grabbed the steering wheel to keep it straight as they came to a slow, an well-deserved, stop. As the crowd roared around them with celebratory screams she exhaled a breath she had been holding from such a long time as she exclaimed with shock.

"We â€" made â€" it â€" oh Thank â€" God â€" We're Alive! I think we won..."

What she did not know was that although they won...the man in the red truck they pissed off had already made his way to their still truck, the noise of the passenger door opening was not heard, as the poor girl felt tight hands suddenly wing around her neck.
