Otatso Wetlands Underdog

One more post from you and that should do it! Sorry for the delay on this one!

Panic gripped Reek as he tried rousing the injured mother.  The air felt like static around him, buzzing and popping like a radio that had lost signal. Time slowed down, and Reek felt like he was living in a haze. Despite his hopeful prodding, he was met with silence from his fallen pack mate. The only sound that fell upon Reek were the pleading cries of her child, Desna.  Save her. It echoed in his head over and over again until his brain was practically swimming the tell-tale chemicals of panic. Doubt gripped him... what if he couldn't?  

Something about the child's cries seemed to have an effect. Scarlett, while hazy and barely coherent, was now conscious. Time seemed to slip back into it's normal pace and Reek regained control. "Scarlett, can you get up?" he asked. "I need to get you to my den. You can retht there." He inched close and stood beside her, offering his shoulder to bear the bulk of her weight.
