It was chaos.
I didn't know where to look, where to hit, what to listen for. Nothing was organised; it was a complete mess. And I could see people getting hurt.

Dawn? Dawn, are you alright?! Are you safe? Where are you?! His voice was frantic.
I'm fine, just tell me where you are and I'll come to you.

Hayden?
...Hayden?
No response.
Now stricken with fear, I barrelled through the Shifters, uncaring of the wolves or bears that I hit, unresponsive to swipes at my flank.

As I pushed through the woods, the scent grew stronger, becoming like a thick stream of hot pink that flowed through the air and led me in the right direction.
Just as quickly as I had started to run, I skidded to a halt.
There was Hayden.
And with a terrifying howl ripping from my vocal cords, the whole world came to a stop.
Hayden was dead.
