Quickly, while you still can

Everyone seemed alright with her plan, and quickly departed. Now, all Somnia had to do was wait for Ashton's call, and then run. However, the rabid coyote didn't feel the need to follow those terms. The movement of the departing wolves must have riled it up a bit, for it made a shaky lunge towards Somnia. She jumped backwards. Somnia tried not to move away too far, for she didn't want it to chase her before they were ready.

The rabid coyote took a few steps forward, and Somnia took a few steps back in the direction of Tempest. What wasn't long at all seemed to take hours, and all the while Somnia was trying to avoid getting close enough to get bit. Finally, Ashton's howl went up. Somnia took off.

Was the coyote following her? Somnia slowed a little and looked behind her. Turns out it was, but just had a bad start. She sped up, adrenaline and terror fueling her. The creature could run pretty fast with being in pain and madness.

Before long, Tempest came into view. Somnia quickly caught up to the girl, and ran a little ways in front of Tempest for a few seconds, to make sure the coyote's attention switched to her. Then, she veered sharply to the side, ducking behind a few bushes. Tempest and the rabid coyote flew past her.

She stood still for a few moments to catch her breath. But then, Somnia took off again, following Tempest and the coyote from a distance. She was also to the left side of them, running past trees and bushes that would keep her out of the coyote's sight, should she even manage to catch up. This was her plan, so she was going to make sure it worked without anyone contracting the disease.
