Gura urgently shakes you awake
whispers that someone is in the house
you pause and groggily listen for a moment
you can distinctly hear rustling coming from the living room
this wakes you up instantly
get out of bed
grab the pistol that Gura didn't know about and load the magazine
chamber a round and tuck it in your belt
leave the bedroom despite Gura's protests
she hesitantly follows
spot the intruder in the dark
turn on the lights and shout
his fight or flight kicks and he bolts for an exit
he runs right into you
your own fight or flight response kicks in
start swinging on him wildly
after taking a few blows, he gets a couple good hits in
Gura shrieks
you feel nothing and continue to pummel the thief
start to tire
the intruder slips away from you and runs out the door
you attempt to chase
Gura grabs you by the wrist tightly
the tears in her eyes stop you from pursuing the criminal
she's in hysterics
you sit down to take a breather
Gura grabs a phone
calls for an ambulance
you wonder why she's not calling for police
look down
there's far more blood than there should be
snap out of your primal response
apparently, you've been stabbed
immediately guide Gura through first aid
she's getting more distraught by the minute
you reassure her and tell her comforting things
she rides with you in the ambulance
the doctors say that the knife missed your vital organs
but you've lost enough blood that they want to keep you overnight
Gura climbs into your hospital bed as soon as they leave
the morphine drip cant hold a candle to the loving, caring words Gura whispers into your ears as you fall asleep.

wake up to a loud bang
Gawr is awake too
tells you she thinks someone is in the house
another noise comes from outside the room
Gawr jumps out of bed
immediately grabs a bat and leaves the room
follow her
before you can stop her she's right behind the intruder
cracks the guy right on the jaw as he turns around
he drops like a sack of bricks
she picks him up by the collar
"YOU THINK YOU CAN FUCK WITH ME? BREAK INTO MY HOME? STEAL FROM ME?"
starts mercilessly beating his already limp form with her fist
a second figure suddenly darts in from the shadows
kicks Gawr in the ribs with all his strength
she makes a horrible sound you've never heard from her before
you tackle him before you even process what happened
pin him on the ground
furiously pound his face
your vision goes red
your next memory is the feeling of a tiny form tugging at you
the next sensation is that your hands hurt
a lot
Gawr is staring at you
breathing heavily and genuinely looks concerned
there's a figure lying on the floor and groaning
his face is already swelling and changing colors
another figure is lying on the ground nearby in a pool of blood
his face is no longer a face
the sputtering, gurgling sounds it's making aren't human
call emergency services
spend the night in the ER for multiple fractured bones in both hands
the police pay you a visit
it turns out that the one guy didn't make it
stay up for hours talking to the cops
Gawr is extremely timid and quiet the whole time
she looks at you in a completely different way after that
she now knows that you would kill for her in the most literal sense possible
it's a good look

authorities arrive on the scene
they believe it's justified after observing the area
your hands are too bloodied and broken for you to be any danger to them
they consider cuffing you due to protocol
they move to grab your wrist
the look Gawr gives them makes them reconsider
officers deem you as not a threat to anyone
they don't bother you again until after the man you beat passes away
they don't even take you to jail once you get out of the hospital
the death of another human is always serious business though
end up in court later
Gawr despises the bureaucracy
she comes to every hearing regardless
the prosecution makes a fruitless argument for second degree murder
your defense explains how the events clearly show self defense
Gawr's two cracked ribs support your case
you are also protected under castle doctrine
the judge rules your innocent of any wrongdoing
you go home with Gawr
exhausted after such a long day
plop down on the couch
Gawr tells you to sit up
you oblige
she hugs you tightly
softly admits how happy she is that you aren't in prison
