Iris dropped to her knees. She touched Dorian's chest, shaking him, trying to get him to open his eyes. She tried to sit him up and noticed that her hand was wet. By the light of the moon the blood looked like liquid tar. She looked at his back and realized that he'd been shot. One of the bullets that were meant for the wolf ended up in Dorian's back. Instead of me.

She pulled out her phone but before she could decide who she could possibly call for help she realized that she had no cell signal. Damn it. Panic started to take over her. She was in the middle of the woods, with maybe a mortally wounded boy lying unconscious in her arms and no means of getting him to a hospital.

She couldn't let him die. She absolutely couldn't. Not because she felt guilty or indebted to him for saving her life, but because something inside her told her that if he died, she died. It was crazy and irrational. She barely knew him and, even without Connor's warnings, she knew that she should keep her distance. And yet she couldn't. It was like she was compelled. Okay, Iris. Breathe and try to stay calm. Too late. Her lungs were already struggling for air.

She looked around. There was no chance of bringing the car to him. The trail was too narrow. She had to find a way to get him to the car. They weren't that far from the crossroads where the sheriff had turned left and from there, if she went straight ahead she was sure that she would get out of the woods in the same place she and Dorian had left her grandmother's Ford.

She pulled him up in a sitting position and held him by the arms. She crouched next to him, her back against his chest, and put his arms over her shoulders. His body tended to slide to the sides and she struggled to keep him steady. She got on her knees, grabbed hold of his arms, and loaded him on her back. He was heavy then, still half on the ground, and she wondered if she would be able to stand when his entire weight pressed against her body. You can do this, Iris. She propped her left foot on the ground and stood on one knee, struggling to keep her balance. Then she took a deep breath and pushed herself up. She straightened her back a little too much and nearly dropped him but she immediately bent forward, staggered for a few moments, and finally managed to steady herself.

She started walking down the trail, every now and then lifting her head in an unnatural position to see where she was going. It felt like forever until she reached the crossroads and the thought that she'd still have to walk at least three times that long terrified her. Her lower back was hurting and her knees and thighs were on fire, yet what she was worried about was that she wouldn't be able to make it in time.
