Her lack of consciousness only lasted for a moment or two, caused by shock rather than any true injury. Under the tree, she was confused, one crimson eye opened in an attempt to survey the situation. It was dark, but there were rays of light where the snow was separate from the trunk. Her chest burned with pain from some unidentifiable source, and it was echoed in her leg and the back of her head. Something had happened, but she couldn't remember what. All she could remember was the black and then the faint rays of light bouncing off of the snow.
Her brother's voice brought her to attention, attempting to move, to try and find him. It wasn't safe to be in the forest, after all. Despite her attempts, she found herself unable to move, pinned to the snowy ground. Panic set in at the realization that she was trapped. Death was the first image that came into her mind, the death of her uncle and how she would suffer just the same, lost to the family beneath the snow. She tried to speak, to call out to the golden coyote who was looking for her, but the breath she took caused her chest to burn even more.
A russet hand reached out from beneath the wooden prison, grasping frantically for the ground beside her. Ezekiel had to find her, she couldn't be lost there. She needed him. An alarmed squawk escaped her cream-masked muzzle, followed by a half-cry that was choked out past her pain. The air seemed stale, and though she was breathing, it didn't seem to be enough. Her lungs ached, and with a final effort to push the tree from her body, she went limp against the ground again.
