HEY GUYS! Sorry I was gone for so long... I was gone longer than expected. I really didn't want to be gone that long... I'm back now though, and I'm updating again. I missed you Love. :')

Chapter: 8

"Tori, are you ok?" Samson yelled to me.

"I'm fine, thanks to him..." I gestured to Cole.

He looked at me and smiled a little, and I smiled back. I could see the look on the Alpha's faces go from happy to cautious.

"Who's that?" He yelled back.

"I don't know. He said he found me unconscious, so he took me to safety..."

Samson had a confused look on his face, but he quickly shook it off.

"Whatever, you need to get to us. That island your on isn't going to last much longer."

I looked down and quickly saw that our island was indeed getting smaller. Cole looked as well and then looked back at me.

"We need to swim over to them."

I looked over at him.

"Swim! Are you kidding me?!"

"It's not like a boat's going to come sailing by to save us. Just hold onto my paw..." He held out his paw.

"I... We can't do this. This is insane!" I yelled at him.

"We have two choices. It's either we wait here for the water to wash us away, or we try to swim to them. Your choice."

I looked at the water, then back at the group of wolves.

"I... I..." He grabbed my paw.

"We got this far didn't we...? Tori, just trust me."

I stared at him and he stared back. I gave his paw a small squeeze.

"O-Ok... I trust you."

He smiled at me.

"Ok, on the count of three, we jump in, and swim as hard as we can... Alright?"

I nodded at him.

"Ok, ready...? One... Two... THREE!"

We jumped into the strong current of water and swam. We were as I feared, getting pulled away from the shoreline we were trying so hard to swim too.

"Guys, we need you help! Make a chain out of yourselves and grab her!" I could hear Cole yell to the group.

They quickly held each other and ran in after us, even Samson. Samson being at the end of the chain reached out as far as he could.

"I can't go any farther! You'll have to swim the rest of the way!" Samson yelled.

We swam with all of our might and eventually, I was able to grab Samson's paw.

"Ok I got her! Pull!"

The Alpha's pulled as hard as they could, but they couldn't pull us in.

"There's to much weight to pull in both of you!" One of the Alpha's said.

"Then just save her!" Cole said before he let go of my paw, and started to drift away.

"What? No, Cole!"

I tried to grab him again but he had already drifted to far away from me.

"Don't worry about me!" He said before he drifted off. As I was pulled to shore, I quickly took off running down the shoreline after Cole, hoping he didn't get sucked under the current.

Cole's P.O.V.

I let go of Tori's paw so they could pull her in. I didn't want to be the reason for Tori dying.

"Cole no!" Was all I heard before I was quickly swept away by the current.

"Don't worry about me!" I said before I was sucked under the water. I fought to keep my head above the water and not drown. I didn't want to die knowing I just came home. I still had wolves to see!

I looked towards the shoreline and could see Tori running along side the current. She was yelling something but I couldn't make out the words.

"What?!" I yelled back.

"Your... fo-... waterfall!"

All I needed to hear was waterfall and I knew she meant. I was headed for a waterfall.

"You have got to be kidding me... Why me?!" I said to myself.

As I got closer and closer to the waterfall, I knew that if I didn't swim to the shoreline, I was going to go over the waterfall and possibly die. I swam with all my might towards the shoreline, but no matter what I did, the current pulled me back towards the center of the raging river. By now I could see the waterfalls edge.

"This sucks..."

I held my breath and went over the edge. As I hit the water, the air that was in my lungs forced itself out. My bodies automatic reaction was to try and breathe in more air, but only succeeded in bringing in water. As I swam to the surface of the smaller river I was plunged into, I could see land. When I reached the surface, I crawled onto the shore, and started coughing up water. After I crawled a few feet on shore, I collapsed completely exhausted. As everything started to go dark, I could see the Tori, followed by the group of wolves looking for me.

"I found him! Help me out!" Said one of the Alphas.

They all ran over to me and after that, I completely blacked out.

So how was it? Good, Bad, Wolfe? You decide. Review to tell me what you think! I love seeing reviews guys! Until next time my friends. :)
