Moon Falls

Trees pass me in a blur as I run, but I know I'm going in circles. A giggle echo's past me, too close. My fur stands on end, I need to get away. I skid to a stop as a wall grows in front of me. I turn around, they're getting closer, more of them now. Where's Cole? He's supposed to keep them away! The wall closes in around me and the children, their faces glow with happiness. Warm hands grip my paw, hugging it. I look down. Mason! His blue eyes look up at me, shinning brightly, but his eyes start to dim, turning into a dead blue, his skin turning sickly pale. I howl in pain, my heart shattering again.
