This process takes time, energy, and pain. She is exhausted when she's finished. She hurts when crushing her heart. She feels like a part of her is disappearing. But, she doesn't want anything to do with her heart anymore. She doesn't want to deal with the heartbreak again.

Ch. 4
As she walks, she thinks. She remembers Jay, but she has blocked out what had happened to him. She knows it's bad, but she doesn't remember how it happened. She doesn't want to know. Right now, she just wants to feel safe. She wants to get back to Cole.
She finds herself in front of some trees. She remembers Cole going through them. Maybe if she goes through them, she'd get back to his cave. She heads into the woods. It's darker in there, but it's light enough to see where she's going. She looks through a spot in the trees from time to time to make sure she's heading toward the sun.
After traveling for a while, she hears something. Something walking. She stops. She doesn't hear it anymore. She looks around then keeps walking when she doesn't see anything. Then, she sees light ahead. Em goes through a spot in the trees and finds herself at Cole's cave. But there's one problem. He's not there.
After checking in the cave and around it, she comes to the conclusion he's gone. Where and how long, she doesn't know. But she does know one thing; someone has walked out into the clearing. She looks at the thing.
A hyena. No. Now three hyenas. They're looking at her hungrily. "You look awfully skinny to be out here on your own," one of them says. He's obviously the leader.
"I'm not alone." Em hides her fear. She's too weak still and if they tried, they could overpower and kill her. She was ready to die a few days ago, but she doesn't want to die like this.
"You look alone to me," the hyena says licking his lips. "You look tasty too. You would be a good meal."
Em backs up. Her tail touches the side of the cave. She's trapped. The hyenas are surrounding her, she's too weak to fight them off, and Cole's not here. Cole! That's it! "Cole! Cole help!" Em starts to shake. She's alone again. And this time, she's really going to die.
"If I were you, I'd back away."
That was the best sound Em has heard in a long time. She breathes a sShe is exhausted when she's finished. She hurts when crushing her heart. She feels like a part of her is disappearing.

igh of relief as Cole walks up. The hyenas back away at the sight of this big, healthy, strong lion coming toward them. When they see the scars all over him, they figure he's not worth one meal."And if I were you I'd go pick on someone your own size." The leader tries to stand his ground and hold his friends with him.
"And if you don't start leaving now, I'm going to make you think twice about messing with someone twice your size." Cole is standing between Em and the hyenas now. Em is looking around him.
The hyenas are already thinking twice, and turn and leave mumbling. They all look back, their mouths watering, before leaving. Cole mumbles something about mangy beasts while turning to Em. He walks up to her. "Are you okay? They didn't hurt you did they?"
Em smiles. "No, I'm okay. You got here just in time. Thanks."
Cole eyes her. Em notices he seems to be studying her. Then he asks, "Why did you leave? What was wrong. Did I say something or do something that was wrong?"
"No, no. It wasn't you. I.... I just had a flashback." Em turns her head away from him. Please don't ask what about she thinks.
"Flashback? Of what?"
"I've blocked it out. I don't want to talk about it. Just things that are like what happened, make me remember. I can't remember. I don't want to remember."
"Okay. But if you need to talk, I'm here. And next time, don't run away. I'll find a way to calm you down. Just don't leave again."
"Thanks. Right now, I think I want to rest. I didn't get much sleep last night as you can imagine." Em turns around with Cole and goes into the cave. It's only midday, but she needs to
