She was trying to keep back, but also trying to distract, and to bring enough pain to force the monster to stop.

She was expecting to fight this alone, but then suddenly, she wasn't.  Erzulie's arrival captured her attention, and the instant of relief turned to horror as she engaged the beast as well.  She was supposed to have run with the rest.  This wasn't her task.

She couldn't shout at her to run; she'd caught hold of the creature's paw, but was quickly cast aside, distracted now.  The blow slammed her to the sand a ways away and left her seeing spots for a moment, gasping to try and catch her breath.  

She wanted nothing more than to stay down, but she couldn't.  So she rose shakily, frantically finding the shape of her lover, who also it seemed had been thrown aside.  Fear and rage still battled, and when she saw this, rage won.  She felt a fearsome sound rise and loosed it on the bear, ignoring the pain in her shoulder and side as she charged at him and set her jaws into his hind leg, aiming to tear enough to slow him down, but also to draw his eyes.
