Second Chances
Thankfully, Ramon is fast, but Alrik knows he doesn’t have a lot of time, so he begins pushing harder, faster, snapping at me and trying to get to my mother.
He moves and Ramon snaps at him, just scraping his flank, however, Alrik sinks his teeth into Ramon’s flank, and Ramon yelps in pain as we feel the bone in our leg snap in between Alrik’s teeth. Then he takes Ramon's leg and shakes it hard with his head. I hear a popping sound as more pain shoots through my body and Ramon howls.
‘Ramon! Ramon!’ I scream in our head.
We begin crawling toward our mother, still wanting to protect her.
