Carmen flashes into sight from the left, seemingly she finally shook off the wolf she had been battling and goes straight for Colton s face, side on, taking him down to the left with her and they roll away from my sight under bushes and roughage. I make a move to help her, but I m held still with a sudden gentle touch on my back. Come… Meadow and Leyanne will be at the mountain by now, we re barley holding on here. We need to get you out of the thick of it. Colton s too strong and you re not going to maintain this energy. Sierra s voice floors me as she jumps in front of me and tries to trip me over onto her back the way Carmen did earlier, but I stand my ground. I know she means well, and she thinks that now I ve proven myself, I should retreat and stay safe. That s not how this works.
