Ruined Sleep - 6/8

I fell in love with the story about 8 years ago when the original was written and fell in love with it again when he started the rewrite last year. He's currently on a hiatus with the rewrite but I strongly encourage reading all chapters or go back to the original and read all the way through Emergence, Existence, and Eldrus.
Emergence rewrite, Chapter 6: Many Nightmares

Karen leapt for the opening in the wall before it was too late.
Phantom colour stars flashed in her vision as she rediscovered glass and toppled backwards, dropping the pillow.
Her head thrummed, noises came in the house.
Bad.
She gathered her limbs, lunged up and smashed her body into the window.
The noise of shattering glass stung her ears.
The reality of broken glass scraped and slashed her hide. What vestiges of torn clothing had survived her change were sliced free as she tumbled out into the night, and down onto the grass outside in an undignified heap.
For a moment that was enough. Karen felt her wings spread, this strange body screaming from cuts and broken glass in her, trickling blood across the lawn. It was ridiculous and obscene- she’d been behaving! She’d seen how small she was, how pointless it all was in the face of magic, stayed quiet and reclusive all week ever since the massive dragon, Scevola’s gaze had landed on her. And still, and still, magic sought her out and shook her inside out like a chew toy! Damn mystic pranks, it was weeks till Halloween!
