Maddy's POV:
I look behind my shoulder, I don't see anyone behind me, but I hear their angry howls. I sprint ahead and think of a plan. Rhydian! Of course, why didn't I think of it! I run through the woods dodging trees and boulders. I start to head towards Rhydian's House knowing he could help.
On my way over the stream though I tripped over a thistle root and tumbled into a deep ditch. I try to get up and run, but a wave of pain jolts up my leg and I crumble to the floor. I clench my teeth and look down. There I saw that my lower leg was broken and a bone was sticking out. I swallow bile that rose into my throat. I saw that blood was already pouring out of the wound. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins knowing that Alrik is close behind. I let out a distress call hoping Rhydian is nearby and hears me.
A rustle sound in the bushes near me. I know well enough that it is not Rhydian. Then a huge wolf with dark grey fur appears out of the bushes alone. At first I was confused until it transformed. Alrik. I let out a short whimper cut off by the knowledge that it would satisfy him. Swallowing dryly I asked "What do you want Alrik!" ,scared of his response.
He lets out a deep and frightening laugh. " You dare to challenge my daughter! An upper-ranking wolf!" He grins. "We both know the punishment of that." I cringe knowing what's coming next. "Im just here to carry out what the pack demands" He says mocking me. I let out a warning growl to tell him to back off. He laughs at me and extends his claws. I wanted to whimper, but instead I let out another distress call knowing this was my last chance. Alrik launches himself at me claws extended. He cuts gashes into my face and torso. Blood pours out, but the adrenaline prevents me from feeling anything. I then go on the offense and throw three quick slices at him. The first two miss, but the third found it's target. I made a deep gast down his shoulder and back. He lets out a deep yowl of pain. Just then a medium grey wolf jumps out of the bushes and in front of me. I automatically know who it is. Rhydian. Alrik jumps onto Rhydian and tries to bite his neck. Due to the injury I put onto him, Rhydian easily thew Alrik off.
I tried to stand up and help Rhydian fight, but the moment I stood another wave of pain flooded me. Worry clouded my face as I saw what was happening. Alrik jumped back up and threw himself at me! I let out a loud scream. In mid-air, Rhydian tackled Alrik and threw him at the tree. Rhydian then gave a warning growl. Alrik, already hurting from his shoulder, turned around and ran into the bushes. Rhydian gave me a slight smile. I tried to get up to hug him, but the adrenaline wore off and the pain gave off an immense wave of pain that I crumbled to the forest floor. I heard a feint voice, but already a sheet of black covered my eyes.
Rhydian's POV:
I was putting on my leather jacket, and tying my running shoes when I heard the distress howl. Maddy. I instinctively sprinted down stairs and out the door. I run into the woods worried that I wouldn't get to her in time! Hopefully Maddy wasn't harmed! Just then I heard another distress howl cut of with a whimper. Oh Maddy. I transformed into my wolf and threw myself out of the bushes. I jump protectively in front of Maddy. Alrik then launches himself at me and tries going for my neck. I easily throw him off though, for he has a deep gash down his left shoulder. That ago Maddy! I though happily. I saw Maddy try to get up to help and fall again. In that moment that I look away, Alrik leaps for Maddy. Maddy lets out a piercing scream. I jump in front of her and collide with Alrik. I threw him onto the tree and let off a warning growl. He then turned away and disappeared into the bushes. I turn around and give Maddy a slight smile. I was so glad to see her! She is actually back! My happiness faded away as I saw Maddy try to get up and crumble to the floor. I ran to her and shook her, but she was unconscious. That was when I really looked at her.
Her leg was broken completely, bone was sticking out, blood pouring from her wounds. There was a deep gash down the side of her face and her stomach. Oh Maddy. "MADS, MADS, DONT LEAVE ME!" I shouted. Tears dripping from my face. I checked her breathing. She wasn't breathing! I instantly put my hands on her chest and did CPR. "MADDY!" I sobbed. Then i heard the feint heartbeat, barely audible. "Maddy, Maddy! Please talk to me!" I pulled off my jacket and wrapped it around her legs. She was already losing to much blood. My heart clenched, I just got Maddy back and I'm going to lose her again. No! I thought to myself. I will not lose her again! But Maddy was slowly dieing away...
