As the man pulled at her nape Indra scrambled her limbs, reaching through empty air as she reared back. One thrash of his shoulders and she'd be done.
A scream pierces the air - then there is a slam, and release. Indra hits the dirt so suddenly that she feels her breastbone clip the cave floor; she's gasping, staggering away while chaos unfolds over her.
As she tries to run, laughter spills from behind her again. This time it is maddeningly clean - her first thought is a memory;
The older girls wandering within Rivenwood, talking, laughing. Indra slinking somewhere out of sight to steal a glance —
The man is grappling with something large and fierce and dark, and in that instant Indra does not see her beloved mother. She doesn't recognize what is happening. They are matched in some violent dance that ignites the last of her panic and all she can do is turn and run.
Her legs don't want to obey her, but they must. She throws herself to darkness and hopes somewhere along the way, she finds the light of freedom at the end.
