An Angel of Mercy [Healing Camp]

Staggering slightly with fatigue and blood loss, Justice began to make her way to where the healers had gathered when a soft, pitiful howl stopped her. She shook her head to clear the cobwebs, though that splattered droplets of blood from her wounds, and glanced around until she saw a familiar-enough form collapsed a ways away. She padded over to the wolf, ready to help her reach the healers, but when she got close enough to see her through the darkness she stopped dead. Where the hunter's eyes should have been was just a gory mess, worse than what she'd done to Dragon. For a beat Justice locked up, her body stiff and a hot fury rushing through her from ears to toes and nose to tail. She nearly turned right around and rushed back to where the pack still fought with what remained of Talis' raiders to do to Acapella's attacker what they'd done to her, but the faint dizziness that swept her warned her against that sort of stupidity. The bastard could always be found again in the future. Justice could wait. Acapella's wounds could not.
"Come on, 'pella," she said, her voice coaxing despite the roughness fatigue and rawness from shouting had left in her throat. Gentle nudges with her muzzle and shoulder against Acapella's uninjured spots as Justice urged her to climb to her feet. "You need to get to your paws now so you can get to the healers. I can guide you, ok? Just lean on me." Acapella was a little taller than she was, Justice remembered, but not built on quite as heavy lines as the Ancora. She would be able to take the hunter's weight easily, and help her to the healer camp. Surely her brothers, at least, would be there, Valor and maybe Exodus to get patched up, Paladin to do the patching. She could help Paladin and the other healers with the more badly wounded first before she got her wounds seen to.
She hoped neither Valor or Exodus was too badly injured. She'd seen Valor fighting Dragon before she had taken over, then nothing of him after, so he must have gone off to the healers while she fought - not knowing what he had lost in his battle with the Talis alpha, she could not have known that he would not be there.
"Let's get you to the healers, Acapella," she said again, continuing to speak to the injured hunter in a constant quiet murmur of encouragement.
