CHAPTER FIFTY THREE
‘Sarah!’
There is panic in the voices filling my head and I have to force myself to remain calm.
My eyes drift towards the forest but I have to protect my people.
‘Force them back!’ I snarl. ‘Don’t kill all of them! We need some alive!’
Our attackers seem to have figured out our intentions and they’re retreating.
The arrows flying towards us have decreased in number which is a relief. I see Ted knock out two of the men.
Jack is to my right, fighting when an arrow comes whizzing past me. I slap it out of the way, ignoring the way my paw burns.
But where there is one, there are more.
I hear Jack howl just as I see brown streak move towards him.
My head turns to see Linda standing in front of Jack, her smaller body pierced by three dark arrows. She stumbles down and Jack howls in agony.
I rush towards the man targeting them, before ehe can throw more arrows and I slam his head into the ground, skull.
I want to check on Linda but the fight isn’t over yet.
