Chapter Twelve

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.
