Cinder stabbed Vernal with all her fingers, but the stabs were to the abdomen. That on its own is non-lethal. She can die of blood loss, but considering she is laying on her back and the puncture wounds are facing up, the blood loss shouldn't be too fast.

And no, she didn't die instantly. Amber was critically injured by a similar Grimm because Cinder stole half of the Maiden Powers, and considering the Maiden Powers are directly tied to the Maiden's soul, Cinder stole half of Amber's soul. Vernal on the other hand doesn't have any power to steal, so her soul is whole. Her letting go of Cinder's claw was her losing the energy to fight back, not dying. So Vernal can still live provided Raven gets her out of there, and fast! If she saves Vernal I will lay off the hypocrisy claims on Raven a bit. Is Cinder's Grimm arm able to steal power like the bug was? Does Cinder now have power-sucking abilities because she used that bug Grimm once? I was under the impression Vernal was dead and Cinder was shocked ("What is this? Where is the power?") because nothing went to her after her death.
