This would be neat to have other creatures get involved... n__n
I was thinking that her clan hasn't been killed yet, she could be the daughter of the clan leader and she does odd jobs here and there, a little rebel... xD
And then she rescues your character and he could stay with her clan for a bit but she wishes to guide him back home, though she could see smoke and smell it when they are a bit away and rush back to find everyone dead and everything on fire.
I think she'd lose it. > w>
And kill any humans left behind.
