~Diana~
"MOM!" I screamed as loud as I could. "DAD! HELP!"
"UNCLE KILLIAN!" Devon yelled too. "ANYBODY!"
The wolves were getting closer. I could hear them right behind us.
My legs hurt. My chest hurt. Everything hurt.
"I can't run anymore!" I was crying and running at the same time.
"You have to!"
"I can't!"
Purple suddenly stopped. Turned around. Faced the wolves.
"Purple, no!" I screamed.
But Purple didn't listen. He barked at the wolves. Put himself between us and them.
"He's protecting us!" Devon grabbed my hand. "Come on, we gotta keep going!"
"We can't leave Purple!"
"He wants us to run! So we run!"
We ran more. My legs were shaking. I couldn't breathe right.
Then I tripped. Fell hard on my hands and knees. Rocks cut my skin.
"Diana!" Devon tried to pull me up but I was too heavy. Too tired.
The wolves were so close now. Maybe ten steps away. Maybe less.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. "I'm sorry I made us follow Lila."
