She wanted to go looking for Ella, but nobody had allowed her to or even shared her worries. For all she knew, Ella was dead. And she couldn't have that. Ella had been her closest friend. [i]Fine! I'll find her myself![/i] She began to head in the general direction of the camp's exit before sighing and laying down near it. [i]No. I can't. I have to stay for my pack and believe she'll come back. She has to. She always has before. If Alpha Crystal hadn't sent her on a solo patrol, none of this would have happened! I shouldn't have snitched.[/i]
