Metanoia

Chapter 4

Running towards the object on the shore, I heard Colton shouting protests following closely behind me. I stopped abruptly in front of the thing looking to see what was, "Why did you just take off running like that, you could have warned me you know!", Colton said to me looking bewildered.

"Sorry, thought I saw something.", I said apologetically "Well what did you see?", he asked me, I pointed down to the object "Looks like a fishing net.", he said looking at me with confusion written on his face. "Yeah, sorry let's go back." I suggested, as we were walking away, I heard a faint noise sounding strangely like a snort.

I turned around and looked at the fishing net closely, all of a sudden, the net shook slightly I jumped back with a curious Colton behind me. I lifted the net and saw what looked to be a small looking porpoise entangled in the net. "Oh my word, you poor thing!", I exclaimed, the net was around its body the poor thing looked so dehydrated and hurt. "Here use this!", Colton said in a panicked voice, giving me a pocketknife "GO CALL FOR HELP QUICKLY!", I said urgently Colton nodded and ran to go get help. "Ok little guy, I'm going to help you just hang on.", I said cutting the net off, throwing the net to the side checking its wounds.

"Ardnola, what happened?", I heard Sarah ask from behind me. "Colton and I were walking, and I thought I saw something, we thought it was just a fishing net, but we found this little guy.", I said pointing to the little mammal. "My goodness!", Sarah said in shock, "Sarah he looks dehydrated did you bring my bag?", I asked in an anxious voice, she nodded her head handing me my bag. I opened it and took out my spare t-shirt and my water bottle, I emptied my bottle and ran to the water in dipped my shirt in the water and filled my bottle with water. I ran back to the porpoise and placed my drenched T-shirt on top of him and started pouring the water on him.

Sarah and I did this for a few minutes, when hearing Colton's voice and seeing a bunch of people including James and Amanda carrying some equipment running towards us. They started doing stuff in order to lift the porpoise up. It started moving and making noises and looked like it was panicking. "You guys are scaring him!", I said in a panicked voice, running over to them placing my hand over his head rubbing it in a soothing manor.

We all went to their truck everyone doing their assigned jobs, lifting him into the back of the truck. "Ma'am we need to get it to the clinic, you need to stay behind I'm sorry.", one of t he men that help cart him into the truck said to me. They all hoped into the car and drove off with the porpoise, "Guys we need to follow them!", I said in an urgent voice , they all look hesitantly at me still in shock.

"NOW!", I shouted while all of them got out of their dazed states and jumped in the car, catching up to the truck following them to the clinic.
