Celeste POV
At first, I wasn't sure if I was really hearing the soft sound of somebody whimpering. Right away, I stopped dead in my tracks and focused solely on my sense of hearing, then I heard the whimpering again.
We all dropped our backpacks on the ground, then we army crawled across the border until we reached the other tree line. After that, I climbed up the closest tree as fast as I could, then I got settled on a branch and scanned the area below me.
There wasn't a single sound that could be heard, then all of sudden a familiar sounding gurgled cough echoed through the forest. I knew that gurgle all too well, after having been killed by my mate, then killing him in return. The gurgling sound alone made my heart ache, and I feared that we would be too late to save
