"Jessica?"
I tried to gain my bearings as I started coming to, but that was a voice I would know anywhere.
"Jessica, please wake up," Dakota said as I slowly opened my eyes. "Oh, you're alive!" He hugged me to his chest as tears ran down his cheeks.
I coughed and chocked, spitting up water that had filled my lungs. "Dakota, where am I?"
"You washed up downstream. It took me forever to find you." He held me while I sat up. "When I saw you chasing that werewolf and didn't stop, you scared me half to death! I followed you and just about had a heart attack when you went over the cliff." Then he looked into my eyes. "Are you okay?"
I nodded, trying to regain my bearings. "I think so." Then everything came rushing back. "What about the other werewolves? Did you catch them all?"
