Haunted Wood see no [more] evil

The Mom in question came crashing through the forest like a tiny blizzard. There was a lot of movement going on, but panic and frenzy made actual progress through the woods very slow - she fell flat on her face at least a dozen times, and nearly sacrificed a leg to a coiled root. Despite the exertion, she barely drew breath. He has gone away to die. Why else would he leave the safety of their 'den', and the protection of his family?

She burst into the space that Swift shared with Peregrine, and came to crouch protectively over her still living son - chest heaving and eyes wild, struggling to focus on the dark figure that was with him. Her brain began to process the backlog of inputs, and only now did the howl register. "Who-" she wheezed, barely able to stay on her feet.  A quick look down at her child confirmed that he was still breathing - no harm done except for the dark, bloody socket that predated Peregrine's appearance.

Next to another dark, bloody socket.

Bazi stared, blinked, swallowed, and choked out a sob. She turned her own big, glassy eyes on Peregrine (a wolf she had met, but could not recall in the stress of the moment), and whispered: "His.. his eye."
