Chapter 12

The Relief

My eyes widened and I scrambled over to Wolf- I mean Dad. I turned him over and the scar was revealed.

His eye.

His left eye was scratched badly, and I could hear why.

"Get them crazy rabid mutant whatever-they-ares outta my sight!" A human shouted. I leapt up and picked Wolf, er...Dad up and dashed off to the forest.

"Look who's talking!" Falcon sneered back to the human as he raced after me.

"You heard the guy! G-Get out of his sight! Run!" Krystal cried. In the undergrowth Krystal and I could run faster, but Falcon couldn't. I could hear a muddle of footsteps and faint shouts. "They're gaining on us! Faster!" I called back to Falcon. "I'm trying!" We were nearing open ground and that's where the ship was. We jumped in and I laid Wolf- Um, Dad down in his bedroom. Falcon looked outside and saw the humans rushing towards us. "Fox, you've got to do something!" Falcon panicked. I glanced back at Wol-...Dad, but he seemed in no condition to help me. "Fly the ship Fox! Fly the ship!" Krystal urged.

"I don't know how!" I argued.
