Ever since her own concerns for her mate had been mentioned from wolves other than herself, it felt like it was beginning to get harder and harder to write them off or explain them away, no matter how much she might want to. She loved Resin so deeply and was so afraid for anything to be wrong that she didn't want to accept it. But things were only getting worse and the night terrors that her mate had been experiencing were only another sign of that. She didn't know if Resin knew that she had noticed yet or not, but occasionally her shifting and twitching in her sleep would wake her and she would lay awake watching her, feeling helpless and uncertain of what to do. She kept trying to find a good time to bring it up, but it never felt like any time was right.
Tamsyn didn't like to go to sleep before Resin at least came to bed, but this night the night continued to stretch on and eventually she dozed off without meaning to, curled up into the furs to stay warm. She didn't know how much time had passed, but at some point in the night she heard the soft click of the door latch opening and closing and felt the bed shift as Resin came to join her, her mate's presence waking her just enough to make her aware that she was there before she slipped back into the darkness of sleep. Her sleep was mostly dreamless these days, but she remembered the nights between when she escaped her family and when she began to spend more and more time with Resin with she would struggle with nightmares constantly. She felt sympathetic for her mate, though she knew Resin wouldn't want the extra attention and concern.
Sometime in the night she had rolled and shifted closer to Resin's side, but was still deeply asleep when she suddenly pulled awake by Resin twitching and jerking in her sleep. Tamsyn blinked open her eyes sleepily and turned her attention to her mate with a frown, her ears flicking back against her head. She leaned closer as her paw came to rest on Resin's shoulder, gently shaking her to try and pull her out of the dream. "Resin... Resin, wake up..." she said softly while nosing at Resin's cheek. Then, in the span of a heart, beat everything disappeared into a haze of blinding pain. Resin moved too quickly for her to react and the last thing she saw was her sharp, deadly teeth reaching for her. Her jaws clamped down around the right side of her face, ripping through the skin around the top of her head, across her right eye, and down into her cheek. She immediately jerked away and scrambled off of the bed, probably causing more damage for herself against Resin's serrated teeth, but her instincts immediately kicked in and all she could think about was getting away. Get away. Get away.
She stumbled to the floor, panting hard as she scrambled back, tripping over her own paws as she pressed her back to the wall near the fireplace, her heart pounding and adrenaline hitting her system hard. "R-Resin?!" she gasped, trying to get her mate to finally shake free of this night terror, the sudden blood loss making her sway till she had to sit hard onto her haunches. She could see Resin's silhouette on the bed from the light of the fire, but that was about it. She couldn't open her right eye, she had to rely on her left eye alone. The shock was too much for her to think though and for a moment she was just frozen, unsure of what to do or where to go.
