Kelley Armstrong Quote
You okay? Rafe said when the bear was gone.I sat on a branch and pulled my foot up. My sock was ripped, but the bear’s teeth hadn’t broken the skin. I squeezed my foot and winced.Just bruised, I said.Maya? Daniel called.I tried to see him but couldn’t through the thick evergreens.We’re fine! I yelled. You?He said he was all right, and I was about to climb down, when Rafe climbed over to my branch and crouched there.Seems that control-over-animals thing doesn’t work so well with the animals we really need control over.No kidding, huh? I said.His head tilted as he scanned the forest. When he glanced back at me, I thought he was going to say something, but he only nodded toward the ground and said, We should go. Fire’s still coming. I can smell it.I twisted to kneel on the branch, so I could lower myself to the next one. As I did, I glanced up and realized we were in the biggest tree around. Which gave me an idea.I’m going higher first, I said, to look around for Annie.Good idea.I called down to Daniel to say what we were doing. Rafe was already two branches above me. I scrambled up after him. The faster I went, the faster he did, and I thought it was just coincidence until he grinned down at me.
