Take Another Little Piece

Bodies littered the bank of the river. One or two still squirmed as they waited for death. Most lay still. The sides of the ashen woman heaved and her lips were still curled back in a silent snarl as she waited for the adrenaline to die down. She and Indigo had decimated an entire pack in their rage. Well most of one anyway. Resin was pretty sure that one or two of the beasts had been smart and had hightailed it out of there.

The keening cry of Indigo pushed the last remnants of adrenaline away. She turned her head to look at the bloodied boy. He lay near the corpse of his friend. From where she stood, Resin could see the shredded brown pelt. They'd really done a number on the girl. She was nothing more than a mash of blood and bones, really. The maned fae didn't feel anything for the wolf. Rue hadn't made an impression. She did feel sorrow for Indigo and she felt angry at herself for allowing such a thing to happen.

She moved towards the boy, each step audible with the click of steel claws on stone. "There was nothing you could have done." He would have died as well had he been with her. Though he was large, Indigo alone couldn't have bested a pack of ten. "Let's bury her." Wherever he chose would be fine. As she waited for Indigo to collect himself and help choose a spot, the woman's mind took dark turns. They needed to move and they needed to do it soon.
