"Everyone here, and I mean<span style="font-style: italic">everyone</span>, is a part of our family. Our pack<span style="font-style: italic">is</span>our family. I will not abandon Shawn to fight these creatures when I was the only one here capable of fending off that one raptor just now!

And any that tries will end up with the slow, excruciating death that this one is going through."
