Tabitha
I thrash around, desperate for air, but my attacker is really strong and determined to kill me. Blackness creeps in around my vision as I continue to struggle. I kick weakly as the last of my energy is drained. As I die.
I reflect on all the times I should have said sorry. I only wish I could have said goodbye.

Ellie gasps. "Peaches!"
I suppose it's fair to say that I was anticipating some sort of happy reunion, but it is not to be. The child shies away from the two for a moment, then hesitantly takes a step toward her parents.
"Back off!" hisses a newcomer. I look at her: bloodied fur coat, menacing and half crazed eyes, the female saber is straight from a horror movie. She swipes at Manny, leaving a streak of red on his trunk.
"Ellie, get Peaches out of here."
"Oh no you don't!" she admonishes in a teacher-like way. And then he pounces.
In the midst of the confusion, Peaches is ushered from the scene. Two females lead her back to camp. Ellie glances over her shoulder, then quickly looks away.
The air is filled with trumpets, hisses, screeches and tufts of fur. The other saber flees at last.
After a spell, the silence is broken.
"You okay, Diego?" asks Manny.
"Yeah...Yeah," he pants.
He certainly doesn't look okay. Of course, upon closer inspection, none of the cuts are too deep.
Before we can interrogate him further, Melody bursts into the clearing.
"Have ya seen Tabitha? Wot about the possums?" she cries quickly.
None of us have.
"HHEELLPP!"
"Crash?"
"Those stupid in-laws of yours are always getting into trouble," mutters Diego to Manny.
"SOMEBODY!" it sounds like Eddie. Of course, I can't tell the difference.
"I'll go," says Diego.
"Diego, you can't-"
"Go take care of Ellie. I'll be fine."
