CHAPTER NINE

NOAH

The wound in my side is superficial, and after two hours, it’s finally stopped bleeding. One of the biggest pains about living in this realm is that the healing properties of the wolf move a lot slower. Well, that’s what I tell myself because I refuse to acknowledge that I’m losing my powers completely. I am not going to die tonight, so that’s good. And our Little Chicken isn’t hurt either.

Little Chicken. I think the name is perfect for Dana. Partly because it’s so funny, and partly because little emu doesn’t have the same feel. But mostly because every time I say it the toughness leaves her face and all that’s left is this confused, innocent look that I find adorable.

It’s almost dawn when Max turns off the two-lane onto the unmarked road to the cabin. We haven’t had to come here in so long, it’s weird to see it looking so overgrown and unused.

The cabin comes into view and it’s oddly comforting. Of all the places we’ve lived over the years, this one is my favorite.

Max drives past the cabin and into the woods behind it, following the old trail. A fallen tree blocks us from getting all the way there, but it’s not far so we’ll just have to hoof it from here.

“Leave the packs. Get her inside as fast as you can. They are probably still tracking her.” Max opens the door and climbs in to undo Jason’s seatbelt.

Poor Jase slumps over. Max shifts so Jase basically lands on his shoulders in the perfect position, and then Max starts walking.

I hurry around the other side of the van and unbuckle her seatbelt. Lifting her out of the truck. “You ready, Little Chi—?"

She shoots me an eyebrow and lifts her wrists so she can point at my face. “If you call me Little Chicken one more time, I am going to have to hurt you.”

I shrug. “Little Emu?”

“Don’t you dare.”

“Fine. Have it your way. You ready, Dana?”

She smiles. “Am I getting on your back or are we going for the distressed damsel’s carry?”

I feel bad because it can’t be comfortable being tossed around and manhandled like she has been, but whatever Max says goes, and until he decides she can have her cuffs removed, there is nothing I can do.

“Well, I need to run, and there’s a bit of a climb, so…” I lean in toward her, lowering myself so she can get on.

“I can’t believe I am actually having this conversation.” She lays over my back and shifts a little until her hip is on my shoulder.

As soon as I start running, a funny thought hits me and I can’t help it. I have to tell her.

It’s nice to talk to someone who isn’t always angry, always planning, always frustrated and stressed out. Since Jason was kidnapped, it’s been even worse. I love both my brothers. I’d die for them without a second thought.

But sometimes, I just want to forget about the end of our world stuff for a few minutes.
