  &quot;No! Maria you can't!&quot;
      &quot;Brandon! Rose!&quot; I just kept screaming as he dragged me farther and farther away from my friends. As we went deeper and deeper back into these terrible woods.
      &quot;Maria! You can't go back there. There might be more delayed explosions.&quot; Jason said in my ear while struggling to hold me back.
      The others have just been leaving him to deal with me after all their efforts have been ineffective. Part of me understands why we can't go back.
      But the majority of me doesn't give a f*ck.
      I kicked and thrashed and fought and Wolfie just held strong.
      &quot;Please, Maria,&quot; he whispered in my ear.
      I let out a strangled sound in frustration. He's not gonna listen to me.
      I felt the tears burn the backs of my eyes as I started to go limp.
      &quot;Lemme go,&quot; I mumbled to him, my eyes shut tight 

  *** Maria's POV ***
      The first thing that I noticed was the splitting headache.
      What the h3ll?
      I went to move my hand to rub away the pain but my arms felt so heavy. I groaned. What the freak is going on?
      &quot;Maria?&quot; I heard a fuzzy voice call. But even through the fog, I knew it was him.
      I went to respond to him, because opening my eyes feels like far too much work, but he hushed me when he felt me stir. &quot;You're alright,&quot; his foggy voice soothed.
      As my senses started slowly coming back, I noticed I was moving, and by the smell of it, I'm wrapped up tight to Wolfie's chest. I powered through my headache and thought about where we're going or where we're coming from.
      Or why I've got this heavenly and slightly metallic taste in my mouth.
      I'm definitely tasting Wolfie right now.
      But why? Why am I drinking his blood?
   

  I heard hybrid footsteps coming back in my direction. &quot;Now shut up before you get me killed,&quot; I whispered one last time into the earpiece and shut it off.
      I took a deep shaky breath in through my mouth and tried not to vomit.
      (A/N: mental block timeeeee)
      Do I let them pass by?
      Yes, I'll just let them pass and get some distance between us before —
      Unless they smell me and kill me.
      — Before I make another ruckus and start the process over. Just let them pass.
      Unless they smell me and kill me.
      Yes I heard you the first time.
      I doubt they'll pass by again without noticing anything.
      . . . Ugh.
      Better go now while they're still far enough away that I might have a chance to run.
      But it's so fast outside. It's slow in here.
      It's because of the lack of oxygen intake. And I thought I wanted out of here.
     

&quot;No! Maria you can't!&quot;

      &quot;Maria —&quot; he sighed.
