The mother let out an enraged roar, charging after the sprinting figure of Dakota. The bear slashed at Dakota, bringing her down and scratching and biting along Dakota's body while she screamed. The pain was unbearable, blood pooling faster and faster around her. "Help.......Please......" Dakota wimpered, shaking slightly

Dakota nodded and breathed. "I love you"

Nathan Croft - Nate hugged her tight. "I love you more," he murmured into her hair.

Dakota was quiet for a moment before thinking. "I'm sorry for waking you" She said quietly, almost shamefully
