Bing Gananda 30

Pandurina had left to hunt, and Bing was sound asleep when the sailors came. It was obvious that the den was being used by someone, or something.
It was Isaac that found her. He dragged her from the den, kicking and fighting furiously. She had been taken completely by surprise. She kicked and bit him. Isaac yelped in pain and lost his grip.
Bing bolted, but ran straight into Ed. He caught her by her long hair. But by now that strange knife was in her hand. She spun around and slashed at his throat. Ed let go of her and clutched his neck, as the blood spurted between his fingers. He dropped to his knees, trying to stop the flow.
But now Hull and Ben had both gotten hold of her.
"Damn! What is this thing?" asked Ben as Bing struggled in their grip.
Isaac examined his arm where she had bitten him. It was bleeding profusely.
"It's a little woman!"
"It's not human, you fool!"
"She's a devil!"
Bing Gananda was spitting curses at them, but of course they were curses they could not understand. It was at this moment that Tomono, and Tindor both bust from the jungle.
Tindor's heart was pounding with fear and rage as he rushed toward the men. He raised the cutlass with a snarl. Tomono bounded toward them from the other side. Isaac raised his pistol and fired.
Tindor stumbled as a sharp pain stabbed through his shoulder. Tomono dropped to the ground and rolled, blood spurting. Tindor felt pain, but there was no wound. It only strengthened him as he fell upon Ben, slashing with his cutlass.
As Ben turned to defend himself, he let go of Bing Gananda. But it was too late to save him, and he fell into a pool of his own blood.
Now Isaac rushed at Tindor who whirled to face him. Hull held on to Bing's knife hand, and drew his own pistol. He was about to fire at Tindor when Pandurina leaped on him from behind. His shot went wild and He, Bing, and Pandurina rolled on the ground in a tangled heap. Tomono struggled, trying to get up. Then he fell back, and lay still.
Tindor and Isaac faced each other, swords in hand. Tindor spoke first.
"I never figured you as a mutineer, Isaac."
"I guess a man can be wrong," he answered. "I never figured you for a fighter."
Isaac looked past Tindor to see Pandurina and Bing Gananda rising from Hull's body. They stared at him, but didn't move.
The two men began to circle each other, looking for an opening. Then at some sign, known only to them, they rushed together.
At first Isaac had the advantage by virtue of strength. But as Tindor grew more used to his weapon, his training came into play. He gained confidence, easily parrying, Isaac's cuts.
In the end, it was Isaac who fell.
Tindor slowly lowered his weapon. He turned to see Bing Gananda, arms around Tomono, crying bitterly.
"Sam U-el, help us!
Tindor dropped his cutlass and walked over to where Tomono lay. There was a burning pain in his shoulder. Then he realized that the pain, was Tomono's. They were Blood! And the fear in the pit of his stomach, was Bing Gananda's.
As he examined the wound he finally realized how closely he was now bound to these two. He wouldn't leave now, even if he could.
The wound was serious, but not likely to be fatal. Tomono would recover, with proper care. And Sam U-el would give it.

Was it not true that they were Blood?
