Redtail Rise piercing

His head spun. The collision with red-mask had made sure that his thoughts remained fuzzy and unclear. Through the haze, he was vaguely aware of the stormcloud's retreat; face pressed into the mud, more shapes arrived around the crumpled wolf. Amongst them, the girl, blood-soaked and pitiful, but alive. In that moment he wanted nothing more than to see her suffer as he had, to see her starving and withered form crushed beneath his teeth. 

But they continued to come, stormcloud and two others obscuring his view of her, and there it was - the light at the end of the tunnel. A small window of escape that, should he wait a moment more, would surely end in his death. Fur caked in a slurry of red dirt, the vessel gathers the last of his energy and makes to slip between snapping jaws. The love of a family had saved her for now, as that split second had saved him too.
