She focused on the woman with the sword. She barely noticed the others joining in her part of the fray, the scent of her packmates coming to her, then being overpowered by the scent of blood, the scent of battle. There were plenty of others here, others helping. She backed away from the kick the Aniwayan sent flying in her direction. She was starting to move back in again, when something made her turn around. Behind her, oh Goddess... And then the brute was on top of her, her breath being driven out of her in a pained gasp. Even as she tried to regain her breath, he had sunk his claws into her shoulders, staring at her. Time slowed as their eyes met. His appearance was a stranger, but there was something, something so familiar and yet so alien. Her lips formed a name, a question. Haku.
And then his ghastly words, the ghoulish smile. She did scream as his massive Secui paw met her ribcage. As had happened before, she could feel the ribs cracking, she could feel the grinding of her bones. A thin scream tore from her lips, an agonized howl. Her eyes couldn't look away from his even as he drew the scream he desired from her like a master violinist drawing a melody from his instrument. The edges of her vision greyed as time slowed again. The air thickened around her. Each breath was a struggle, each breath was torture with red hot brands.
Her dagger was still in her hand. She squeezed the handle tightly, forcing herself not to go into shock, not to pass out. Her lips lifted from her bloody fangs. The blood was her own; she had bitten her tongue when he had driven her to the ground. Though his weight was on her, pinning her, she had enough leverage to drive the dagger into his belly. She would split him open the first chance she got, she would open his belly and let his innards fall out, she would bleed him out. She brought it up and into his flesh again, trying to get out from under the massive Secui body.
