Dakota started sobbing. "I-I-I tried to wake her u-up, -b-but she wouldn't g-get up." Dakota kneeled by her dead body and hugged her. "I can't do this. I-I can't let her go." Dakota closed her eyes and cried harder.
Dakota got up and ran away as fast as she could. She got to the barn and grabbed Athena. Tears fell down her face faster than ever. "Why God? Why?!" She cried. Athena galloped far away with Dakota as they headed to the beach. It kept Dakota calm there.
