Ravensblood Forest Rain, Rain Go Away

She blacked out as Nishu reached her, only returning to consciousness when she heard him yelling. The branch that fell on her had been removed. She tried to get to her paws, but cried out and feel as pain raced up her right hind leg and across her back. She again attempted to stand, holding the injured paw off the ground. Even the effort it took to hold her leg up was too much. She would have to suck up the pain and try to limp to safety. Rain used Nishu as a crutch, leaning against him so he was on her wounded side. Would they be able to make it out of the storm fast enough? She was worried. He couldn't possibly carry her. Could he? 

Rain made her first step, allowing the weight of her bad side to push against her charge when she needed the leverage. It was still painful, but not completely unbearable. Her face seemed to be contorted into a permanent wince as she limped onward with Nishu. To her, the storm seemed to be increasing in strength. Winds tore tree's from their roots, the flood waters increased in height so that it now reached their knees. Rain believed that the water from the river had broke it's banks. 

Each jostle of her leg had her clenching her jaws together. It was hard to concentrate on anything else but walking. She was nervous about them being hit by a tree or swept away by the flood waters. A large burst of wind threatened to knock her over. "Nishu!" Rain cried fearfully. She locked her jaws around his neck in hopes of using him to keep her standing. But would the wind take them both below the flood waters?
