Hope its OK to throw Indra in first heh...

She couldn't hear anything except the pounding of her own heart in her ears, her own wet breaths as she ran as hard as she could, the pounding of her feet against the ground; but it was more the shock of each stride that reverberated through her than the frenzied beat of her gallop.
As Indra raced to keep up with her mother and find her way in the darkening cave, the sounds of the chaos outside diminished. The last thing she thought she'd caught in her ears was Abel shouting — but it was so faint, and she was so stressed, that she had to let that fall away.
It felt like everything was moving too fast.
There was a voice, clear as day, echoing in the chasm behind them. It was not one she knew and it called for her mother — it said something about Abel too (—I got him.), which made her look wide-eyed to her mother's flank to see if she would hear it too, or stop.
Lungs burning now; Indra could taste something bitter rising along the back of her throat and when it met her tongue it was like copper, it made her want to spit. She coughed instead and began to lag behind.
Mmuh! She began to call out to Laurel, trying to make her voice work, but it was a rasping noise.
Out of the dark came fists without aim. One battered across Indra's lower back and she felt her knees buckle and grate across the cavern floor. Adrenaline shocked her system and she scrambled to be free and to run as teeth singed the air over her head.
Indra kicked and clawed to be free and to be with her mother. All the while she could not help thinking, why was this happening, why does he want you, he's got me; mom he's got me!!!
