"No, we could find him first." Scott said. "There's no human that can track sounds faster than we can. And we've got the advantage, we've done this before. We know what we're doing, guys."
"How come I can't catch his scent?" Malia asked.
"He's masking it." Lori replied.
"Can someone tell him not to?" I asked.
"He went this way." Liam said and took off.
Lori and I took off after him.
--------------
"The trail's gone." Malia said.
"Uh maybe he just stopped bleeding."
"God, I think we should split up." Liam said. "Lori, Blaire and I go this way, you guys go that way."
"Or maybe we go in five directions."
"Are you guys kidding?" I asked.
"We should stick together." Malia agreed.
"We have the advantage, it's five against one." Liam said.
"Not if we split up." Malia said.
"Alright, I've been doing this the past three months without your help." Liam said. "I think I can make a decision."
"Well, if you're deciding to do something stupid and die, then go ahead."
"Okay, no." I said. "We stick together."
"It's one hunter, one amateur who doesn't know what they're doing."
"Scott?" Malia said.
Scott pushed som leaves out of the way.
"The hunter." Liam said. "He's covering his tracks. "
"There's another." Scott said.
"Two of them?" I asked.
"Maybe more."
"How many hunters have you seen out here before?" Lori asked.
"A lot."
"Still wanna split up?" Malia asked, sarcasm and sass dripping from each word.
"We can deal with it. We just need to find Brett's trail."
"No we don't." Lorilee said. "Rock balancing. Satomi taught us. It's him, and I know where he's going."
------------
We walked through the tunnels, I had a strong grip on my brother's arm.
Lori leaned down and touched some blood looking liquid on the ground.
"He's been poisoned. "
"That's why he's not healing." I said.
"What if he only has a few hours to live?"
"Or worse." I said. "Minutes."
"If we howl, we can find him."
"That's too risky."
"Who cares about the risk? He could bee dying." Lori said.
"You guys don't understand how important it is to find him." I said.
"He's still moving." Malia said.
I wiped my face as I blinked back more tears.
"Blaire." Liam whispered. "Are you okay?"
