CHAPTER TWELVE
I stay in wolf form as I run through the woods.
I have no idea where to go or what to do.
But at least in my wolf shape, I feel less terrified.
I remember the flower garden I went to with Brock.
I remember the tree we climbed.
I realize then, that climbing a tree is my safest bet.
I scramble up.
It's easier in wolf form, but not as easy as when I had Brock to help me.
I can see everything from here.
The whole territory that was supposed to be mine.
My heart thumps as I think of all I have left behind.
I look up at the moon.
I have changed the course of things.
I have ruined my future and that of the people I love.
I've ruined everything.
I'm shaking.
I need to stay calm.
I try to think positively.
I try to remind myself of my strengths.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I have dealt with things that other people would never be able to face.
I have seen things no one should have to.
I have sacrificed everything for others.
I am strong.
I am good.
