Word Count → 665 :: tl;dr, degloving type injuries are nasty. Adding in Tal’s arrival as requested.

There was nothing left of her mother in the beast’s eyes, only a murderous rage that left Keldava dumbstruck, staring at Jace and unable to move as her own mother drew back her clawed hand a second time, this time lashing out at herself. Frozen to the spot Keldava couldn’t bring herself to move until fire blossomed across her face in a thin line and half her vision went black as she reflexively screwed her right eye shut, trying to protect her eyeball.

With a loud yelp of pain Keldava scrambled backwards towards the door, dragging ‘Rin backwards with her, somehow managing to overpower her larger brother and force him backwards as she stumbled blindly out the door. As she left her good eye fixed on Jace and she growled, her frustrations bubbling out ina single word, yelled out as she exited the house, ”Harfnasa!”

Outside ‘Rin struggled to get out of her grasp and Keldava gladly obliged, freeing her arm and bringing it up to probe the damage to her own face. She wasn’t as badly mauled at ‘Rin but the deep thin cut ran straight over her eye, stinging with pain when she blinked and pouring blood down into her vision. Irritably she brought her hand up to brsh the blood away and froze, horrified eyes catching sight of her hand.

The hand she had raised, her right hand, was also the one that she had punched Jace with and from the looks of it, Keldava had done herself more damage with her own punch against Jace’s teeth than her mother had done with her claws. Several of her fingers were cut and starting to swell and her knuckles were adorned with patches of raw red skin. The worst though was the back of her palm, where a thick section of skin had been ripped off, looking like the skin of a fruit peeled off and hanging by a single edge. The flesh under the skin was an odd pink colour, shot through with lines of red. If she looked closely Keldava thought she could pick out a flash of hard, white material, standing out eerily against the tide of dark red welling from the wound and soaking into the fur on her arm. Gagging she looked away, thrusting the arm down and out of her sight.

A whimpering cry sounded from off to her side and Keldava forced back her revulsion to go to her sister. ‘Gina’s bird was flying about screeching in a panic and Ovidiu looked none to happy either but Keldava ignored them both, hoeing in on her sister and hugging the black furred female. She gripped her tightly for a moment and then released her, stepping backwards but leaving one hand clutching her shoulder in a comforting grip, ”Calm down ‘Gina, we need to get ‘Rin some help” she said, the words as much for herself as they were her sister.

A white figure popped into Keldava’s vision in the background and she sagged in relief, recognising Tal’ from when he had appeared shortly after she had been attacked by Amy. Keldava didn’t really know the white male but she did know he was the pack’s Overseer and while Keldava didn’t particularly know what an Overseer was she did know it was high up, surely he would know a way to calm Jace down! She barked urgently to call him over and then froze up again, suddenly realising that the hand she had left on Dalgina’s shoulder.

She was suddenly aware that while she couldn’t stand the sight of her hand, she doubted that Dalgina would like such a gristly sight shoved close to her face. Quickly Keldava recoiled her hand, hoping she hadn’t frightened her sister even worse. Almost as if on cue a scream emitted from the house, making even Keldava cringe in terror and look towards the door, half afraid that Jace was going to come running out to finish what she had started.
