Veronica gives a cry of dismay as the wolf girl pulls away.  She doesn't want to be left alone!  She has little options though.  The creature is on their heels.  Veronica keeps running, her legs and lungs complaining at her.  She has been running since the stupid plane.  Doesn't this thing ever give up?  She runs and hopes the river is close by, she can at least now hear the water.  All these trees had seemed like a good idea at the time.<br/><br/>Speaking of heels.  She lost her shoes and running has the added pain of unprotected feet.  This is bad.
