I look at the clock, 9:45 P.M. I walk down the steps and grab Cooper's leash. Only to satisfy Whitney, who says not to have a wild beast roaming the island.
"I'm taking Coop out!" I yell, even though Kit and Whitney probably didn't hear me.
As soon as I open the door Coop bounds out and sprints toward the beach, and disappears into the dunes.
I find myself standing in front of the Bunker. It reminds me of Ben. It's been five months since Ben's betrayal. I miss him, I miss being a pack.
Without going into the Bunker I take one last look and I turn around and start running. Trying to fight back tears.
"Cooper!" I yell. I see a blur of grey running in front of me, the next thing I know I'm on the ground with a 70 pound fur ball on top of me.
"Get off me Coop!" I giggle quietly while Coop climbs off me.
As I arrive behind our complexes I see a dark figure walking to my complex. Ben, I know him anywhere. I start running. I hear the unmistakable sound of a gunshot. Ben falls. I scream. I sprint towards the limp body next to my complex.
"BEN!" I yell as I kneel beside him. My hands move frantically as I search for his wound. I find it and sob even harder.
He was shot in the chest.
"I'm sorry, I forgive you. I'm sorry!"
I feel a hand on my face, I open my eyes to see Ben looking up at me. His eyes are full of pain.
"I'm sorry, Tor. I was so-" he's stopped by a coughing fit. "I was so stupid. I just- I-" he slowly trails off.
"You what Ben? What? Please tell me!" I say grabbing onto his soaked shirt.
"I lo-" He takes a shuddering breath. Ben's eyes flutter. Then close.
"No! No! Ben open your eyes!" I grab his face. "Look at me! Please Ben please!" I repeat over and over again until I'm crying too hard to even think.
He's gone. This can't be happening. No! No! No! It can't end like this! I lay my head down on his unmoving form. He's gone.
Everything goes black.
