CHAPTER 14

  In a cave on an unknown, uninhabited island, a figure crawled to shore with difficulty.

  It was very dark and she could barely see as her hair covered her face.

  She managed to sit up and watched as her tail transformed back into legs. It hurt more than usual. Since her escape from Ralton pack, she had been swimming where her heart led her. She wanted to get as far away as possible. So no one from that hellish place would ever find her and catch her back there!

  Today, while avoiding an annoying shark, she hit her tail hard against a rock so that it bled. She couldn't even swim with it for many hours. Her blood mixed with the seawater. She was scared it would make the shark want to eat her, but surprisingly, the shark fled. Her blood seemed to be its nemesis, she guessed.
