no worries, PP is totally fine with her! If I take more than a couple days to reply, please skip me :))

She is pliant as she is moved, bearing each new burst of pain. She needs to get out of this, that much is obvious, and this sudden change of location fills her with dread. She's not privy to the large part of the brute's intents and plans, only that she appears in some way to be valuable to him, but not, she thinks, irreplaceable. A failed attempt at escape would most certainly be met with more violence. 

Finally, they reached the wood that appeared to be their destination; Vengeance paused with a finality that had her skin prickle. It certainly seemed his sort of place, fog seeking to twine around every trunk and protuberance, sounds and scents seemingly muffled in the looming darkness. There is a long beat of silence before she finds the courage to speak; being meek and soundless will get her nowhere, but it's sure hard not to be. 

"What is this place?"

jumping in on this! Will rewrite if needed <3

Eldra was just getting ready to head out to look for her Warlord, but upon nosing @Sam to his feet and beginning to walk out, the Titan caught a familiar stench. 

Quickly, she changed course with her Ward, and eventually, eventually... 
The massive woman materialized in the fog, waving her tail softly at her heels as she began to approach Vengeance with a soft whine. 
"I caught you a gift." She murmurs to him, uncertainty and yet cruelty in her gaze as she turns her head to look at Sam.

 When she deemed it the right time, the white wolf took him from the den and told him they were leaving. Sam hobbled along, following her. His eyes hurt from weeping. His head hurt from anguish. His broken leg was swollen and painful to the touch. Sam walked on three legs, not two, careful to never put weight on it. He had never had an injury like this. He wondered if it would even heal.
 His tail found its way back to his undersides on seeing the reason for his capture. He kept his head very low, and wobbled as he stood silent. What now?
 Sam looked away as he was inspected and scrutinized. He said nothing, barely noticing the woman nearby. His breathing quickened, and he wondered what they would do with him.

She allows his answer to fade into silence, struggling to ignore the desire to run, now, when the beast's attention zeroes in on her. Thankfully, his attention is pulled away by the figure— no, figures, that approach through the fog. Both ignore her, the woman apparently by choice, the man, perhaps, in fear. He's presented as a gift by the one she learns is called Eldra, though is evidently ill-received by Vengeance. She's selfishly glad that the stranger seems to be receiving the brunt of the negative attention now, content to remain ignored. But that twists just as quickly into guilt as worse-case scenarios for the man flick through her thoughts. 

She really ought to say — no, she should shut up, and let the two giants settle on a fate for the man. It'd be a bad one, she's convinced, but — "I can fix him." she offers, the words coming out barely above a whisper. Still, the fact that they managed to at all is rather surprising, and her tongue slides over her lips in nervousness as she keeps her attention on the man's leg, not wanting to accidentally meet the gaze of either of the other two should they turn to her. He carries his leg as she carries hers, though his certainly looks worse. It's a bold claim to make from a healer that mediocre at best, really, and she quickly decides that that's quite enough talking.

Her ears flatten as Vengeance sneers in borderline disgust at her present.
What good is he to me? He says.
Eldra decides to make a bold few suggestions, and then Vengeance's own ward speaks up. 
I can fix him
The titanic woman offers a grateful glance Bramble's way, returning her gaze to Sam briefly before she looks back to Vengeance without meeting his gaze "If you don't want him, sir, may she fix him so he can leave?" 
For Sam's sake, this innocent man she snatched, she hoped fleetingly while she was still sane that Vengeance didn't say to eat him

 Sam looked toward the grey girl. They were so similar in colour, they looked almost like brother and sister. He tried to catch her gaze as she spoke. Her leg was also injured. Apparently this was something this group of wolves did — hurt others to take them away. The male with blood-lust eyes was not impressed at all with what Eldra had done, and Sam felt an instinctive pull at his heart that begged him to leave this cursed place.
 He was surprised that Eldra seemed to want to let him leave. Sam hazarded a glance toward her, keeping his head and ears low and tilting his nose toward her chin as though he was a puppy appeasing an adult. This was the only thing he could think to do. She had been strangely caring toward him during the brief time she'd held him captive, and even though he was terrified of her, he hoped he might win her favour.
 Am I supposed to eat it?
 Sam felt his stomach drop. He had never encountered anything so sickening in his life. Fear plunged through his veins as he began to shake again, shuffling backward to shield himself from the male by keeping Eldra between them. He could do nothing. He could say nothing. He managed only a short whine, also puppy-like in tone.

She'd not been expecting the flicker of gratitude from the woman, something Bramble manages to catch despite keeping her gaze trained on the greyscale stranger or the ground. She feels the male's gaze on her, and manages, for a moment, to meet it before Vengeance speaks. Her gaze swings toward him unthinkingly, her stomach dropping. She knew him to be a monster, but — he wouldn't. This was just some bizarre powerplay, empty threats. Still, her heart beats faster against her chest, even more so when she is jostled with a well-placed kick. 

She moved up alongside him, disgust crawling up her throat when he leans against her. She swallows it down, though she wants nothing more than to grab the terrified greyscale man and flee. She can only remain at the beast's side, trembling as she holds Sam in her sights, begging, hoping, that he'll run.

RIP Sam --sobs--

As her alpha growls at her with his words and comes closer, she cowers some with a submissive whine.
Then, underneath his pressure, a switch in her flips yet again, and it becomes clear by the change in her surrounding air that Eldra is no longer so caring. That part of her is almost snuffed out, replaced by some other thing
Eldra's submissive cower melts into a humble bow below her King, her Lord, her Master. 
And without gazing up at Vengeance she dares the suggestion in a respectfully calm, soldierly cool tone- 

"May I ask that you allow me to learn my lesson by eating him myself, sir?" The way she quivered, subtly, showed she had never eaten another wolf before, and yet she was willing if it would appease her Lord. Deep down she hoped he would do it himself, but some other twisted part of her didn't.

And yet the last of her sanity sparked only when she turned her head hauntingly slow to look at Sam with a Cheshire grin, at first fake so she could look her ward in the eyes before her trauma enveloped her completely - the clear, very present message - 

RUN.

Hopefully her message was there long enough for him to start, before Vengeance or herself started chasing.

The disgust and fear can not be swallowed down anymore, and bile rises in her throat as something in the white woman changes. She can no longer convince herself that their threats are in any way empty. Dread is a crushing shadow, yet gaze remains locked on the man. The two turn on him, Vengeance gone from her side. The stranger is running and then he is falling, crushed beneath the demon and yelling, pleading, and then —

Belatedly, she is aware of her own piercing scream. She is more aware of the fact that the nameless man is dead, felled beneath the two demons. Bramble backpedals, stumbling, screams cut short by her own dry heaving. And then, somehow, she is running, tearing back the way they'd come on all four limbs; the injured one a burning brand of pain, but nothing compared to this sheer and undiluted terror. Logic is long departed; she only knows she must get away from here, now.

Eldra seems to stand in cold silence as Sam meets his fate. 
But at the sound of the greybird's scream, she looks up to see the girl running the other direction. 

The crazy bitch is all too ready to chase, and she does with her cheshire grin, and, sprinting forth with speed almost shocking of a titan like herself and Ven; Eldra races after Bramble.

Three...

Two...

Eldra lunges with a loud roar, aiming her fangs at Bramble's hocks and legs in a full effort to bring her down, where if she succeeded, the girl would be held down until the Warlord-to-be joined them.

A snarl is on her lips as the ashen female goes down, but immediately at Vengeance's order and reprimands, she shies away from Bramble with flat ears and a tucked tail.

I can't do anything right...She thinks sadly, instead backing off pretty decently and sitting down with hunched shoulders as she stared at the ground.
She wasn't pouting, just bracing for whatever else might come with any possible punishments her Warlord may give after he was done doing whatever he was doing with their healer. 

There was no excuse. So she didn't offer one.
