This is probably over dramatic. For the record, Ataxia isn't seeing a ghost, she just thinks she is. Also, you could follow her if you wanted, but I don't care either way.

Ataxia was very still, not moving out of the way even as others rushed to her aid. The cry of "Bastard!" made her ears twitch, but she was otherwise immobile. From somewhere above, the girl saw herself staring glassy-eyed and lying on the wolf while others maimed him and moved to deal the death blow. She despaired at her weakness and cursed her inaction in the same thought. Futilely she tried to regain control of her body, but neither her head nor her limbs moved. Shame overwhelmed her, and finally the hybrid gave up.
She watched dully as the life fled from the man's body, kicking and screaming until the last moment when his neck gave out. A sort of smoke rose from the body, like something she might have seen from her mother's rituals. It coalesced into one mass, a being of hazy, smoky spirit. The wolf's image was pale and screaming. She tried to say something, but no words came out.
Suddenly the hybrid had the sensation of falling, and found herself righted in her own body. The apparition was gone, as was the smoke. Her eyes, which had been focused blindly ahead of her, now fell to the scarred coyote and the man crushed beneath her. Ataxia stood up and backed away from the corpse. She was bloody, and there was a web of pain stretched from each wound, sending sharp stabs into her when she moved. She paused to lick her wounds. When she had finished, another glance was given to the wolf's mangled arm, then to the coyotes. The Seculi wolf had a feeling she should say something, maybe thank them, but nothing came out. The ghost had taken her voice.
The girl turned from the pair and slipped off to the edge of camp. She didn't feel much like fighting now, and her wounds needed tending to.
