Twisted Slough II. Caught in the burning glow.

The spirit simply watched him for a moment as he struggled to get out from the mud and ignored her question. The danger for her was that she saw herself as someone who stood between the world of the living and the dead, and she had not yet experienced the danger that teeth brought. She did not yet know the danger of death that posed, and so she merely stood and stared at him as he came closer.

Only as he nearly reached her did she bounce; out of reach at first, but then she had been too slow to come to motion and felt teeth grip around one of her upper hind legs. As her chin slammed to the ground suddenly pain seered through her body and a loud yelp echoed through the slough.

no problemo. I'm ok with a bit of roughing up. :)
