Lost in a Forest Fire Rescued by a Wolf Brenda Westfall

I had a fight with my father after he forced me to move out in the middle of nowhere away from all my friends. I didn't really think about what I was doing I just ran out the door into the woods in the dark. I was angry and wanted to get away from him. I wanted to go home to my friends and my boyfriend. I ran through the woods for what felt like hours not paying attention to where I was going. The more I ran the better I felt. I don't know how long I had really been running but the sun had started to rise over the top of the mountain or so I had thought. As I continued to run I realized it wasn't the sun rising at all I smelt the smoke. I turned and raced back the way I had come only to find myself in a lot of trouble. I saw a body floating in the lake. I hurried to retrieve it afraid the fire was going to catch up to me before I could get it out of there. I wanted to return the girl to whoever she belonged to. I reached for her and grabbed hold of her arm. Only she wasn't dead like I thought she came up swinging. She was beautiful. Now wasn't the time to talk though as the forest fire was coming our way. I never dreamed the trouble I could get into running out on my father that night. Sure the one who pulled me out of the lake was handsome and all but that was only the beginning of my problems. Things aren't always what they seem.
