I think it's very possible that she could have broken out of the ice the last minute and then used her Grimm arm to slow down the fall, enough for it to not be fatal or very severe. From what I have seen, stuff like that is pretty common with characters that have those kinds of expanding arms. Maybe she passed out at the bottom after so that's why she didn't fly up again. Or maybe she just thought going back up at that point wouldn't be a good idea with her aura shattered since, even if she could backstab Raven, she knew that she would have to deal with everyone else, too. It's not like they need a perfectly logical explanation, anyaway, this is RWBY we are talking about. I could go as far as to say we don't even know what that pit connects to, maybe there is some underground tunnel there, maybe she simply flew up and escaped after things calmed down and everyone was gone. Salem's seer Grimm was also there so it could have sneeked in and somehow retrieved her or something.
