Shal's face twists into a mask of horror as she watches her brother mutate. Knowing she can't stay on her foot and keep the gun, she launches herself backwards, crashing to the ground with Keirdan (who is still limp, but breathing.) The dracon accidentally goes off, but fortunately it's not aimed at Keirdan. Unfortunately, it's aimed at the edge of Shal's stomach. The beam just grazes the edge of her abdomen. She lets loose a roar of pain before she's able to get the gun trained back on the kid. She grits her teeth, every muscle in her body tense.
