The fire had went down to a light simmer, and Wildfire was walking down the river. Wildfire was looking for Kris, who had disappeared when the water had pushed them over. Wildfire had gone up and down the river at least three times, but she was nowhere to be found. But yet Wildfire knew Kris was somewhere alive, and he knew that he must get help. Wildfire ran as fast as he ever ran to get to Raintree, where he knew there were people who could help.
Everyone was sitting in the living room of the Ritter house, they were all worried about Kris and Wildfire. Especially with the fire that night, no one knew if they got out or were stuck in it and died. There was not a word said all night since Pablo and Jeans argument, they didn't know it but everybody heard. Finally Todd broke the silence.
"They're alive, I just know it." He said.
Everyone looked at him as he gazed upon the floor. But the look was of joy, like they felt the same way.
Junior lifted his head, and looked out the window. He thought he was dreaming, "Wildfire?" He whispered to himself.
"What?" Matt asked as he looked at Junior.
Junior stared out the window again, he jumped up and yelled "Wildfire!"
Everyone looked out the window and saw him too, they all ran outside. When they got outside they only saw Wildfire, but no Kris. Pablo grabbed Wildfire by the harness.
"Where's Kris?" Junior asked with a fearful voice.
Wildfire fought for his freedom and Pablo let go. Wildfire stood on his hind legs, and moved backwards.
"He wants us to follow him." Jean said.
"Follow him where?" Matt asked.
Junior knew where, he took a breath and said, "To Kris..."
