Teja was in serious pain, unable to breath, or speak, or scream. But he was. He was screaming and fighting as best he could, in his mind, to keep focused, keep sane. He was attempting to stay lucid and not pass out from the shock to his body when Sadako finally came to him. He didn't feel anything as soon as she was within sight, and soon, he was able to breathe again, and he managed to get enough leverage to topple the wolf over the rest of the way when the branch swung.
It's her, Sadako! He dug the knife in deeper and twisted before pulling it out, snarling at the wolf, staring it down before scrambling to the side. He was torn between wanting to skin the animal, and save the woman to which he was still attracted.
