“La Leyenda de Marisa Gritaluna” by Juan C. Moreno (read by Cider, part 2 of 2)

In the full moonlight, two young coyotes are about to discover the legend of La Llorona is more than myth as the deadly spirit closes in.

Tonight’s story is the second and final part of “La Leyenda de Marisa Gritaluna” by Juan C. Moreno, who knows the mountains of Colorado like the back of his paw and will be your guide across a wilderness of action, adventure, and mystery. This reimagined folktale first appeared in Selections of Anthropomorphic Regalements: Volume 1, edited by the late K.C. Alpinus and published by Goal Publications but now available from Fenris Publishing. You can find more of his stories in “Reclamation Project: Year One,” “ROAR Volume 11,” the Furry Writers’ Guild’s latest anthology, “Tales from the Guild: Blood and Water,” or Juan’s DeviantArt gallery.

Last time, Marisa the teenaged coyote followed her younger brother to the riverbank after he ignored his grandmother’s warnings as superstitious folktales. However, as moonlight covers the land and the air fills with mournful howling, the coyotes will discover some legends are terrifyingly real.

Marisa

Guild: 00:01:26

Gritaluna” by Juan C. Moreno, Part 2 of 2

With

Guild: 00:01:36

every

Guild: 00:01:36

passing

Guild: 00:01:37

second

Guild: 00:01:37

Marisa

Guild: 00:01:38

had

Guild: 00:01:38

Guild: 00:01:39

the

Guild: 00:01:39

nightmare

Guild: 00:01:39

coming

Guild: 00:01:40

for

Guild: 00:01:40

her

Guild: 00:01:40

brother,

Guild: 00:01:41

the

Guild: 00:01:41

she

Guild: 00:01:42

felt

Guild: 00:01:42

her

Guild: 00:01:42

instinctual

Guild: 00:01:43

fire

Guild: 00:01:43

return.

If

Guild: 00:01:45

anyone

Guild: 00:01:45

punishes

Guild: 00:01:46

that

Guild: 00:01:46

little

Guild: 00:01:46

pup,

Guild: 00:01:47

it’s

Guild: 00:01:47

gonna be

Guild: 00:01:48

me! Marisa built a growl in her throat

Guild: 00:01:51

and

Guild: 00:01:51

flexed her forepaws. Almost there! I’m coming, Mateo! I

Guild: 00:01:56

won’t

Guild: 00:01:56

let

Guild: 00:01:56

her

Guild: 00:01:57

get

Guild: 00:01:57

you!

Then,

Guild: 00:01:59

the

Guild: 00:01:59

phantom

Guild: 00:02:00

neared

Guild: 00:02:00

the

Guild: 00:02:00

riverbank,

Guild: 00:02:01

Marisa

Guild: 00:02:02

heard

Guild: 00:02:02

another

Guild: 00:02:02

voice

Guild: 00:02:03

carried

Guild: 00:02:03

the

Guild: 00:02:03

wind. “Close

Guild: 00:02:05

your

Guild: 00:02:05

eyes,”

Guild: 00:02:06

whispered.

Guild: 00:02:07

was

Guild: 00:02:08

different

Guild: 00:02:08

from

Guild: 00:02:08

the

Guild: 00:02:08

ghost’s

Guild: 00:02:09

wails.

Guild: 00:02:10

was

Guild: 00:02:10

mother’s

Guild: 00:02:11

voice.

Marisa

Guild: 00:02:13

didn’t

Guild: 00:02:13

want

Guild: 00:02:13

obey,

Guild: 00:02:14

not

Guild: 00:02:14

when

Guild: 00:02:15

the

Guild: 00:02:15

weeping

Guild: 00:02:15

coyote

Guild: 00:02:16

was

Guild: 00:02:16

close.

Guild: 00:02:17

Could

Guild: 00:02:17

she

Guild: 00:02:18

trust

Guild: 00:02:18

the

Guild: 00:02:18

voice?

Guild: 00:02:19

She

Guild: 00:02:19

inhaled

Guild: 00:02:20

deeply

Guild: 00:02:20

and

Guild: 00:02:20

searched

Guild: 00:02:21

her

Guild: 00:02:21

instincts.

Guild: 00:02:22

Run.

Guild: 00:02:23

Fight.

Guild: 00:02:24

Survive.

Guild: 00:02:25

Guild: 00:02:26

it!

Guild: 00:02:26

Scrunching

Guild: 00:02:27

her

Guild: 00:02:27

face

Guild: 00:02:27

and

Guild: 00:02:27

shutting

Guild: 00:02:28

her

Guild: 00:02:28

eyes,

Guild: 00:02:29

Marisa

Guild: 00:02:29

found

Guild: 00:02:30

she

Guild: 00:02:30

could

Guild: 00:02:30

suddenly

Guild: 00:02:30

move

Guild: 00:02:31

again.

Guild: 00:02:32

Unfortunately,

Guild: 00:02:33

she

Guild: 00:02:34

tripped

Guild: 00:02:34

her

Guild: 00:02:34

first

Guild: 00:02:35

blind

Guild: 00:02:35

step

Guild: 00:02:36

and

Guild: 00:02:36

tumbled

Guild: 00:02:36

down

Guild: 00:02:36

Guild: 00:02:37

the

Guild: 00:02:37

slippery

Guild: 00:02:37

riverbank.

Guild: 00:02:38

Scrambling

Guild: 00:02:39

onto

Guild: 00:02:39

all

Guild: 00:02:39

four

Guild: 00:02:40

paws,

Guild: 00:02:41

she

Guild: 00:02:41

called

Guild: 00:02:41

out. “Mateo!”

Eyes

Guild: 00:02:44

still

Guild: 00:02:45

closed,

Guild: 00:02:46

Marisa

Guild: 00:02:46

relied

Guild: 00:02:46

her

Guild: 00:02:47

other

Guild: 00:02:47

senses

Guild: 00:02:47

Guild: 00:02:48

find

Guild: 00:02:48

her

Guild: 00:02:48

brother

Guild: 00:02:49

and

Guild: 00:02:49

take

Guild: 00:02:49

hold

Guild: 00:02:49

his

Guild: 00:02:50

leg.

Guild: 00:02:51

However,

Guild: 00:02:52

before

Guild: 00:02:52

she

Guild: 00:02:52

knew

Guild: 00:02:53

what

Guild: 00:02:53

next,

Guild: 00:02:54

she

Guild: 00:02:54

heard

Guild: 00:02:54

splashing

Guild: 00:02:55

something

Guild: 00:02:56

broke

Guild: 00:02:56

the

Guild: 00:02:56

surface

Guild: 00:02:57

the

Guild: 00:02:57

water

Guild: 00:02:57

and

Guild: 00:02:58

also

Guild: 00:02:58

grabbed

Guild: 00:02:58

Mateo.

Guild: 00:03:00

her

Guild: 00:03:00

shock,

Guild: 00:03:01

she

Guild: 00:03:01

opened

Guild: 00:03:01

her

Guild: 00:03:02

eyes.

Instead

Guild: 00:03:04

the

Guild: 00:03:04

ghostly

Guild: 00:03:05

coyote,

Guild: 00:03:06

Marisa

Guild: 00:03:06

saw a

Guild: 00:03:07

creature

Guild: 00:03:07

dark

Guild: 00:03:08

the

Guild: 00:03:08

weeping

Guild: 00:03:08

figure

Guild: 00:03:09

had

Guild: 00:03:09

been

Guild: 00:03:09

pale.

Guild: 00:03:10

The

Guild: 00:03:11

snout,

Guild: 00:03:11

teeth,

Guild: 00:03:12

pointed

Guild: 00:03:13

ears,

Guild: 00:03:13

and

Guild: 00:03:13

four

Guild: 00:03:13

legs

Guild: 00:03:14

were

Guild: 00:03:14

canine-like,

Guild: 00:03:16

but

Guild: 00:03:16

all

Guild: 00:03:16

pleasant

Guild: 00:03:17

similarities

Guild: 00:03:17

ended

Guild: 00:03:18

there.

Guild: 00:03:19

Black

Guild: 00:03:19

fur

Guild: 00:03:20

stood

Guild: 00:03:20

spikes

Guild: 00:03:21

and

Guild: 00:03:22

its

Guild: 00:03:22

webbed

Guild: 00:03:22

paws

Guild: 00:03:22

were

Guild: 00:03:23

tipped

Guild: 00:03:23

with

Guild: 00:03:23

short

Guild: 00:03:24

claws.

Guild: 00:03:25

Strangest

Guild: 00:03:25

all,

Guild: 00:03:26

Marisa

Guild: 00:03:27

realized,

Guild: 00:03:28

was

Guild: 00:03:28

the

Guild: 00:03:28

creature’s

Guild: 00:03:28

tail.

Guild: 00:03:30

Long

Guild: 00:03:30

and

Guild: 00:03:30

whip-like,

Guild: 00:03:31

ended

Guild: 00:03:32

dexterous

Guild: 00:03:33

fifth

Guild: 00:03:33

paw; a

Guild: 00:03:34

paw

Guild: 00:03:35

locked

Guild: 00:03:35

squarely

Guild: 00:03:36

Mateo’s

Guild: 00:03:36

throat.

The

Guild: 00:03:38

creature

Guild: 00:03:39

stared

Guild: 00:03:39

Marisa

Guild: 00:03:40

and

Guild: 00:03:40

recoiled

Guild: 00:03:41

for

Guild: 00:03:41

instant

Guild: 00:03:42

she

Guild: 00:03:42

had

Guild: 00:03:43

startled

Guild: 00:03:43

it.

Guild: 00:03:44

Then,

Guild: 00:03:45

shrieked

Guild: 00:03:46

once

Guild: 00:03:46

and

Guild: 00:03:47

yanked

Guild: 00:03:47

Mateo

Guild: 00:03:47

out

Guild: 00:03:48

her

Guild: 00:03:48

grasp

Guild: 00:03:49

and

Guild: 00:03:49

pulled

Guild: 00:03:49

him

Guild: 00:03:49

into

Guild: 00:03:49

the

Guild: 00:03:50

river.

Guild: 00:03:51

The

Guild: 00:03:51

elder

Guild: 00:03:51

coyote

Guild: 00:03:52

didn’t

Guild: 00:03:52

wait,

Guild: 00:03:53

and

Guild: 00:03:53

she

Guild: 00:03:53

leapt

Guild: 00:03:54

into

Guild: 00:03:54

the

Guild: 00:03:54

water

Guild: 00:03:54

headfirst.

Marisa

Guild: 00:03:57

kicked

Guild: 00:03:57

hard

Guild: 00:03:58

and

Guild: 00:03:58

clawed

Guild: 00:03:58

her

Guild: 00:03:58

way

Guild: 00:03:59

forward;

Guild: 00:04:00

thankful

Guild: 00:04:00

the

Guild: 00:04:00

creature

Guild: 00:04:01

hadn’t

Guild: 00:04:01

fled

Guild: 00:04:01

upstream.

Guild: 00:04:03

She

Guild: 00:04:03

followed

Guild: 00:04:03

the

Guild: 00:04:04

splashing

Guild: 00:04:04

struggle

Guild: 00:04:04

she

Guild: 00:04:05

heard

Guild: 00:04:05

ahead

Guild: 00:04:05

her.

Guild: 00:04:06

Mateo’s

Guild: 00:04:07

head

Guild: 00:04:07

bobbed

Guild: 00:04:07

for

Guild: 00:04:07

moment

Guild: 00:04:08

while

Guild: 00:04:08

his

Guild: 00:04:08

arms

Guild: 00:04:09

flailed.

Guild: 00:04:10

Whatever

Guild: 00:04:10

had

Guild: 00:04:11

Mateo

Guild: 00:04:11

seemed

Guild: 00:04:12

have

Guild: 00:04:12

stopped

Guild: 00:04:12

swimming

Guild: 00:04:13

and

Guild: 00:04:13

instead

Guild: 00:04:14

tried

Guild: 00:04:14

drown

Guild: 00:04:15

him

Guild: 00:04:15

the

Guild: 00:04:15

current

Guild: 00:04:15

carried

Guild: 00:04:16

them

Guild: 00:04:16

along.

Guild: 00:04:18

The

Guild: 00:04:18

instant

Guild: 00:04:18

before

Guild: 00:04:18

the

Guild: 00:04:18

monster

Guild: 00:04:19

pulled

Guild: 00:04:19

him

Guild: 00:04:19

under

Guild: 00:04:20

again,

Guild: 00:04:20

Marisa

Guild: 00:04:21

caught

Guild: 00:04:21

them.

Without

Guild: 00:04:23

hesitating,

Guild: 00:04:24

Marisa

Guild: 00:04:24

clamped

Guild: 00:04:24

her

Guild: 00:04:25

teeth

Guild: 00:04:25

around

Guild: 00:04:25

the

Guild: 00:04:25

creature’s

Guild: 00:04:26

tail.

Guild: 00:04:27

She

Guild: 00:04:27

broke

Guild: 00:04:28

through

Guild: 00:04:28

flesh

Guild: 00:04:29

and

Guild: 00:04:29

tasted

Guild: 00:04:29

something

Guild: 00:04:30

putrid

Guild: 00:04:30

and

Guild: 00:04:30

oily.

Guild: 00:04:32

Still,

Guild: 00:04:33

the

Guild: 00:04:33

bite

Guild: 00:04:33

freed

Guild: 00:04:33

Mateo

Guild: 00:04:34

before

Guild: 00:04:34

she

Guild: 00:04:34

gagged

Guild: 00:04:35

and

Guild: 00:04:35

retched

Guild: 00:04:35

the

Guild: 00:04:36

inky

Guild: 00:04:36

blood

Guild: 00:04:36

from

Guild: 00:04:36

her

Guild: 00:04:36

mouth.

Guild: 00:04:38

The

Guild: 00:04:38

creature

Guild: 00:04:39

squirmed

Guild: 00:04:40

and

Guild: 00:04:40

retreated

Guild: 00:04:40

the

Guild: 00:04:40

coyotes

Guild: 00:04:41

embraced.

“Are

Guild: 00:04:43

you

Guild: 00:04:43

okay?”

Guild: 00:04:44

Marisa

Guild: 00:04:45

asked

Guild: 00:04:45

once

Guild: 00:04:46

Mateo

Guild: 00:04:46

finished

Guild: 00:04:47

coughing.

Guild: 00:04:48

She

Guild: 00:04:48

helped

Guild: 00:04:48

him

Guild: 00:04:48

float

Guild: 00:04:49

until

Guild: 00:04:49

started

Guild: 00:04:50

treading

Guild: 00:04:50

water

Guild: 00:04:50

his

Guild: 00:04:51

own.

“Marisa!

Guild: 00:04:53

You

Guild: 00:04:53

saved

Guild: 00:04:53

me!”

Guild: 00:04:54

Mateo

Guild: 00:04:54

yipped.

“Don’t

Guild: 00:04:56

thank

Guild: 00:04:56

yet,”

Guild: 00:04:57

replied

Guild: 00:04:58

Marisa. “We

Guild: 00:04:59

have

Guild: 00:04:59

reach

Guild: 00:05:00

the

Guild: 00:05:00

bank.”

Mateo

Guild: 00:05:02

nodded,

Guild: 00:05:02

his

Guild: 00:05:03

wet

Guild: 00:05:03

ears

Guild: 00:05:03

flopping

Guild: 00:05:04

somewhat.

Guild: 00:05:05

The

Guild: 00:05:05

coyotes

Guild: 00:05:05

started

Guild: 00:05:06

paddle,

Guild: 00:05:06

but

Guild: 00:05:07

Marisa

Guild: 00:05:07

sensed

Guild: 00:05:07

something

Guild: 00:05:08

approaching

Guild: 00:05:08

the

Guild: 00:05:08

water.

Guild: 00:05:10

She

Guild: 00:05:10

reached

Guild: 00:05:10

for

Guild: 00:05:11

her

Guild: 00:05:11

tool

Guild: 00:05:11

pouch

Guild: 00:05:12

and

Guild: 00:05:12

closed

Guild: 00:05:12

her

Guild: 00:05:12

paw

Guild: 00:05:13

around

Guild: 00:05:13

the

Guild: 00:05:13

first

Guild: 00:05:13

handle

Guild: 00:05:14

she

Guild: 00:05:14

felt.

Guild: 00:05:15

With

Guild: 00:05:15

instinctual

Guild: 00:05:16

swiftness

Guild: 00:05:17

that

Guild: 00:05:17

surprised

Guild: 00:05:18

her,

Guild: 00:05:18

she

Guild: 00:05:18

whirled

Guild: 00:05:19

around

Guild: 00:05:19

and

Guild: 00:05:19

raised

Guild: 00:05:20

screwdriver

Guild: 00:05:21

the

Guild: 00:05:21

instant

Guild: 00:05:21

the creature

Guild: 00:05:22

went

Guild: 00:05:22

for

Guild: 00:05:22

her

Guild: 00:05:22

tail.

Guild: 00:05:24

Snarling,

Guild: 00:05:25

Marisa

Guild: 00:05:25

brought

Guild: 00:05:25

her

Guild: 00:05:26

makeshift

Guild: 00:05:26

weapon

Guild: 00:05:26

down

Guild: 00:05:27

and

Guild: 00:05:27

stabbed

Guild: 00:05:28

the

Guild: 00:05:28

unnatural

Guild: 00:05:29

beast

Guild: 00:05:29

many

Guild: 00:05:29

times

Guild: 00:05:30

she

Guild: 00:05:30

could.

Guild: 00:05:31

screeched

Guild: 00:05:32

and

Guild: 00:05:32

abandoned

Guild: 00:05:33

the

Guild: 00:05:33

attack,

Guild: 00:05:34

swimming

Guild: 00:05:34

the

Guild: 00:05:34

river’s depths

Guild: 00:05:35

once

Guild: 00:05:35

more.

“What

Guild: 00:05:37

that

Guild: 00:05:38

thing?”

Guild: 00:05:39

Mateo

Guild: 00:05:39

asked.

The

Guild: 00:05:40

water

Guild: 00:05:41

washed

Guild: 00:05:41

the

Guild: 00:05:41

shadowy

Guild: 00:05:42

blood

Guild: 00:05:42

from

Guild: 00:05:42

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:05:43

screwdriver. “I

Guild: 00:05:44

don’t

Guild: 00:05:45

know,”

Guild: 00:05:45

she

Guild: 00:05:46

panted,

Guild: 00:05:46

tightening

Guild: 00:05:47

her

Guild: 00:05:47

grip. “Abuela

Guild: 00:05:48

didn’t

Guild: 00:05:49

mention

Guild: 00:05:49

her

Guild: 00:05:49

story.”

“Did

Guild: 00:05:51

you

Guild: 00:05:51

kill

Guild: 00:05:52

it?”

“I

Guild: 00:05:53

don’t

Guild: 00:05:53

think

Guild: 00:05:53

so.

Guild: 00:05:54

probably

Guild: 00:05:55

just

Guild: 00:05:55

made

Guild: 00:05:55

angry.”

Guild: 00:05:56

Marisa

Guild: 00:05:57

swam

Guild: 00:05:57

closer

Guild: 00:05:58

Mateo

Guild: 00:05:59

and

Guild: 00:05:59

gave

Guild: 00:05:59

him

Guild: 00:05:59

her

Guild: 00:05:59

other

Guild: 00:06:00

screwdriver. “Come

Guild: 00:06:01

on,

Guild: 00:06:02

can

Guild: 00:06:02

make

Guild: 00:06:02

it.”

Again,

Guild: 00:06:04

the

Guild: 00:06:04

siblings

Guild: 00:06:05

headed

Guild: 00:06:05

for

Guild: 00:06:05

the

Guild: 00:06:05

riverbank,

Guild: 00:06:07

thankful

Guild: 00:06:07

feel

Guild: 00:06:07

the

Guild: 00:06:07

current

Guild: 00:06:08

seeming

Guild: 00:06:08

slow,

Guild: 00:06:10

but

Guild: 00:06:10

they

Guild: 00:06:10

soon

Guild: 00:06:10

realized

Guild: 00:06:11

why.

Guild: 00:06:12

They’d

Guild: 00:06:12

been

Guild: 00:06:12

taken

Guild: 00:06:13

far

Guild: 00:06:13

downstream

Guild: 00:06:14

that

Guild: 00:06:15

they’d

Guild: 00:06:15

reached

Guild: 00:06:15

area

Guild: 00:06:16

where

Guild: 00:06:16

the

Guild: 00:06:16

river

Guild: 00:06:16

widened,

Guild: 00:06:17

putting

Guild: 00:06:18

the

Guild: 00:06:18

bank

Guild: 00:06:18

their

Guild: 00:06:18

home

Guild: 00:06:19

further

Guild: 00:06:19

from

Guild: 00:06:19

them

Guild: 00:06:20

the

Guild: 00:06:20

longer

Guild: 00:06:20

they

Guild: 00:06:20

stayed

Guild: 00:06:21

the

Guild: 00:06:21

water.

Guild: 00:06:22

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:06:23

only

Guild: 00:06:23

comfort

Guild: 00:06:24

was

Guild: 00:06:24

the

Guild: 00:06:24

sight

Guild: 00:06:24

sandbar

Guild: 00:06:25

they

Guild: 00:06:25

could

Guild: 00:06:25

reach

Guild: 00:06:25

easily.

Guild: 00:06:27

Soon

Guild: 00:06:27

enough,

Guild: 00:06:28

their

Guild: 00:06:28

paws

Guild: 00:06:29

felt

Guild: 00:06:29

dirt

Guild: 00:06:29

under

Guild: 00:06:29

them

Guild: 00:06:30

and

Guild: 00:06:30

they

Guild: 00:06:30

dragged

Guild: 00:06:31

themselves

Guild: 00:06:31

from

Guild: 00:06:31

the

Guild: 00:06:31

water,

Guild: 00:06:32

wet

Guild: 00:06:32

and

Guild: 00:06:32

tired,

Guild: 00:06:33

but

Guild: 00:06:34

their

Guild: 00:06:34

bodies

Guild: 00:06:34

still

Guild: 00:06:34

charged

Guild: 00:06:35

fear

Guild: 00:06:35

and

Guild: 00:06:36

adrenaline.

“Maybe

Guild: 00:06:38

the

Guild: 00:06:38

river

Guild: 00:06:38

will

Guild: 00:06:38

carry

Guild: 00:06:39

the

Guild: 00:06:39

creature

Guild: 00:06:39

away?”

Guild: 00:06:40

Mateo

Guild: 00:06:41

said.

Marisa

Guild: 00:06:42

shook

Guild: 00:06:42

her

Guild: 00:06:42

head. “The

Guild: 00:06:44

current’s

Guild: 00:06:44

too

Guild: 00:06:44

slow.

Guild: 00:06:45

can

Guild: 00:06:46

swim

Guild: 00:06:46

against

Guild: 00:06:46

the

Guild: 00:06:46

river

Guild: 00:06:47

here.”

“So,

Guild: 00:06:48

what

Guild: 00:06:48

do?

Guild: 00:06:49

What

Guild: 00:06:50

comes

Guild: 00:06:50

back?”

Sighing

Guild: 00:06:53

and

Guild: 00:06:53

plopping

Guild: 00:06:53

down

Guild: 00:06:54

the

Guild: 00:06:54

sand,

Guild: 00:06:55

Marisa wiped

Guild: 00:06:55

water

Guild: 00:06:56

from

Guild: 00:06:56

her

Guild: 00:06:56

eyes.

Guild: 00:06:57

Part

Guild: 00:06:58

her

Guild: 00:06:58

wanted

Guild: 00:06:58

scold

Guild: 00:06:59

Mateo

Guild: 00:06:59

for

Guild: 00:06:59

getting

Guild: 00:06:59

them

Guild: 00:07:00

into

Guild: 00:07:00

their

Guild: 00:07:00

predicament.

Guild: 00:07:01

What

Guild: 00:07:02

good

Guild: 00:07:02

would

Guild: 00:07:02

that

Guild: 00:07:02

do?

Guild: 00:07:03

Sure,

Guild: 00:07:03

Guild: 00:07:04

may

Guild: 00:07:04

have

Guild: 00:07:04

gotten

Guild: 00:07:04

himself

Guild: 00:07:05

into

Guild: 00:07:05

this

Guild: 00:07:05

mess

Guild: 00:07:06

and

Guild: 00:07:06

then

Guild: 00:07:06

dragged

Guild: 00:07:06

you

Guild: 00:07:06

into

Guild: 00:07:07

it,

Guild: 00:07:08

but

Guild: 00:07:08

you’re

Guild: 00:07:08

the

Guild: 00:07:08

big

Guild: 00:07:08

sister

Guild: 00:07:09

and

Guild: 00:07:09

it’s

Guild: 00:07:10

your

Guild: 00:07:10

responsibility

Guild: 00:07:11

get

Guild: 00:07:11

you

Guild: 00:07:11

both

Guild: 00:07:11

out

Guild: 00:07:11

Guild: 00:07:12

it.

After

Guild: 00:07:14

moment,

Guild: 00:07:14

Marisa

Guild: 00:07:15

replied. “We

Guild: 00:07:17

have

Guild: 00:07:17

our

Guild: 00:07:17

eyes.

Guild: 00:07:19

think

Guild: 00:07:19

freezes

Guild: 00:07:20

look

Guild: 00:07:20

Guild: 00:07:21

something

Guild: 00:07:21

that.”

“Yeah.

Guild: 00:07:23

Yeah!”

Guild: 00:07:24

Mateo

Guild: 00:07:25

said,

Guild: 00:07:25

perking

Guild: 00:07:25

up. “I

Guild: 00:07:26

couldn’t

Guild: 00:07:27

move

Guild: 00:07:27

either

Guild: 00:07:27

when

Guild: 00:07:27

saw

Guild: 00:07:28

the

Guild: 00:07:28

ghost!”

“That

Guild: 00:07:29

must

Guild: 00:07:30

how

Guild: 00:07:30

gets

Guild: 00:07:30

people,”

Guild: 00:07:31

Marisa

Guild: 00:07:32

added. “If we—”

“¡AAAYYY! ¡Mis hijos!”

Chills

Guild: 00:07:38

shot

Guild: 00:07:39

through

Guild: 00:07:39

the

Guild: 00:07:39

coyote

Guild: 00:07:39

children

Guild: 00:07:40

and

Guild: 00:07:40

they

Guild: 00:07:41

squeezed

Guild: 00:07:41

their

Guild: 00:07:41

eyes

Guild: 00:07:41

shut.

Guild: 00:07:42

The

Guild: 00:07:42

horrible

Guild: 00:07:43

cry

Guild: 00:07:43

echoed

Guild: 00:07:44

around

Guild: 00:07:44

them,

Guild: 00:07:45

seeming

Guild: 00:07:45

come

Guild: 00:07:46

from

Guild: 00:07:46

every

Guild: 00:07:46

side.

“Use

Guild: 00:07:48

your

Guild: 00:07:48

nose

Guild: 00:07:48

and

Guild: 00:07:49

ears!”

Guild: 00:07:49

Marisa

Guild: 00:07:50

ordered.

Guild: 00:07:51

She

Guild: 00:07:51

rolled

Guild: 00:07:51

from

Guild: 00:07:52

where

Guild: 00:07:52

she

Guild: 00:07:52

sat

Guild: 00:07:52

and

Guild: 00:07:53

crouched

Guild: 00:07:53

low,

Guild: 00:07:54

touching

Guild: 00:07:54

three

Guild: 00:07:54

paws

Guild: 00:07:55

the

Guild: 00:07:55

sand.

Guild: 00:07:57

Mateo

Guild: 00:07:57

assumed

Guild: 00:07:58

the

Guild: 00:07:58

same

Guild: 00:07:58

position

Guild: 00:07:59

behind

Guild: 00:07:59

her,

Guild: 00:08:00

facing

Guild: 00:08:00

the

Guild: 00:08:00

opposite

Guild: 00:08:00

direction.

Guild: 00:08:02

Tail

Guild: 00:08:02

tail

Guild: 00:08:03

and

Guild: 00:08:03

screwdrivers

Guild: 00:08:04

raised,

Guild: 00:08:05

the

Guild: 00:08:05

siblings

Guild: 00:08:06

waiting

Guild: 00:08:06

and

Guild: 00:08:06

listened.

“¿Dónde están mis hijos?” Marisa tried to block

Guild: 00:08:14

out

Guild: 00:08:14

the

Guild: 00:08:14

wails

Guild: 00:08:14

from

Guild: 00:08:15

her

Guild: 00:08:15

mind.

Guild: 00:08:16

They

Guild: 00:08:16

weren’t

Guild: 00:08:16

the

Guild: 00:08:17

real

Guild: 00:08:17

danger.

Guild: 00:08:18

She

Guild: 00:08:18

listened

Guild: 00:08:19

for

Guild: 00:08:19

the

Guild: 00:08:19

noises

Guild: 00:08:19

that

Guild: 00:08:20

truly

Guild: 00:08:20

mattered. “¡Mis hijos!”

As

Guild: 00:08:25

the

Guild: 00:08:26

last

Guild: 00:08:26

cry

Guild: 00:08:26

died

Guild: 00:08:27

out,

Guild: 00:08:27

Marisa

Guild: 00:08:28

finally

Guild: 00:08:28

picked

Guild: 00:08:29

the

Guild: 00:08:29

sounds

Guild: 00:08:29

she

Guild: 00:08:29

waited

Guild: 00:08:30

for.

Guild: 00:08:31

The

Guild: 00:08:31

river

Guild: 00:08:32

surface

Guild: 00:08:32

breaking,

Guild: 00:08:33

water

Guild: 00:08:33

dripping,

Guild: 00:08:34

and

Guild: 00:08:34

the

Guild: 00:08:35

soft

Guild: 00:08:35

padding

Guild: 00:08:35

paws

Guild: 00:08:36

wet

Guild: 00:08:36

sand.

Guild: 00:08:38

Her

Guild: 00:08:38

nose

Guild: 00:08:38

twitched,

Guild: 00:08:39

too,

Guild: 00:08:39

and

Guild: 00:08:40

she

Guild: 00:08:40

filled

Guild: 00:08:40

her

Guild: 00:08:40

lungs

Guild: 00:08:41

with

Guild: 00:08:41

the

Guild: 00:08:41

night

Guild: 00:08:41

air’s scents.

Guild: 00:08:43

Freshwater,

Guild: 00:08:43

sediment,

Guild: 00:08:45

and

Guild: 00:08:45

the

Guild: 00:08:45

stench

Guild: 00:08:45

rotting

Guild: 00:08:46

meat.

Guild: 00:08:47

Drops

Guild: 00:08:47

blood

Guild: 00:08:48

dripped

Guild: 00:08:48

onto

Guild: 00:08:48

the

Guild: 00:08:48

sandbar.

Guild: 00:08:50

Thicker

Guild: 00:08:50

and

Guild: 00:08:50

heavier

Guild: 00:08:51

than

Guild: 00:08:51

water,

Guild: 00:08:52

they

Guild: 00:08:52

went

Guild: 00:08:53

plip, plip, plip

Guild: 00:08:57

the

Guild: 00:08:57

creature

Guild: 00:08:57

approached

Guild: 00:08:58

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:08:58

left.

The

Guild: 00:09:00

creature

Guild: 00:09:01

sprang

Guild: 00:09:01

forward

Guild: 00:09:02

and

Guild: 00:09:02

Marisa

Guild: 00:09:03

swiveled

Guild: 00:09:03

meet

Guild: 00:09:03

Guild: 00:09:04

head-on.

Guild: 00:09:05

She

Guild: 00:09:05

dug

Guild: 00:09:06

her

Guild: 00:09:06

paws

Guild: 00:09:06

into

Guild: 00:09:06

the

Guild: 00:09:06

sand

Guild: 00:09:07

and

Guild: 00:09:07

struck

Guild: 00:09:07

with

Guild: 00:09:07

all

Guild: 00:09:08

her

Guild: 00:09:08

might.

Guild: 00:09:09

Another

Guild: 00:09:09

scream,

Guild: 00:09:10

another

Guild: 00:09:11

direct

Guild: 00:09:11

hit.

Guild: 00:09:12

However,

Guild: 00:09:13

she

Guild: 00:09:13

pulled

Guild: 00:09:14

the

Guild: 00:09:14

screwdriver

Guild: 00:09:14

free

Guild: 00:09:15

and

Guild: 00:09:15

stabbed

Guild: 00:09:16

downward

Guild: 00:09:16

again,

Guild: 00:09:17

she

Guild: 00:09:17

only

Guild: 00:09:18

hit

Guild: 00:09:18

open

Guild: 00:09:18

sand. “On

Guild: 00:09:20

your

Guild: 00:09:20

right!”

Guild: 00:09:20

she

Guild: 00:09:21

barked.

Mateo’s

Guild: 00:09:23

right

Guild: 00:09:23

ear

Guild: 00:09:23

flicked

Guild: 00:09:24

and

Guild: 00:09:24

turned

Guild: 00:09:25

and

Guild: 00:09:25

stabbed

Guild: 00:09:25

blindly.

Guild: 00:09:26

His

Guild: 00:09:27

tool

Guild: 00:09:27

grazed

Guild: 00:09:27

the

Guild: 00:09:28

monster’s side,

Guild: 00:09:29

drawing

Guild: 00:09:29

trickle

Guild: 00:09:30

oily

Guild: 00:09:30

blood. “I

Guild: 00:09:32

think

Guild: 00:09:32

hit

Guild: 00:09:33

it!”

“Good!

Guild: 00:09:34

Good!”

Guild: 00:09:35

Marisa

Guild: 00:09:36

shouted

Guild: 00:09:36

back. “Stay

Guild: 00:09:37

close!”

The

Guild: 00:09:39

creature

Guild: 00:09:39

circled

Guild: 00:09:40

the

Guild: 00:09:40

coyotes

Guild: 00:09:41

before

Guild: 00:09:41

rushing

Guild: 00:09:41

Marisa

Guild: 00:09:42

again.

Guild: 00:09:43

leapt

Guild: 00:09:43

into

Guild: 00:09:44

her

Guild: 00:09:44

arms

Guild: 00:09:44

and

Guild: 00:09:44

bowled

Guild: 00:09:45

her

Guild: 00:09:45

over

Guild: 00:09:45

until

Guild: 00:09:46

they

Guild: 00:09:46

rolled

Guild: 00:09:46

the

Guild: 00:09:46

sand,

Guild: 00:09:47

biting,

Guild: 00:09:48

slashing,

Guild: 00:09:49

and

Guild: 00:09:49

stabbing.

Guild: 00:09:50

Finally,

Guild: 00:09:51

Marisa

Guild: 00:09:51

buried

Guild: 00:09:52

her

Guild: 00:09:52

tool

Guild: 00:09:52

into

Guild: 00:09:52

the

Guild: 00:09:52

nightmare’s side,

Guild: 00:09:54

only

Guild: 00:09:54

lose

Guild: 00:09:55

her

Guild: 00:09:55

grip

Guild: 00:09:55

when

Guild: 00:09:55

the

Guild: 00:09:55

monster

Guild: 00:09:56

rolled

Guild: 00:09:56

away

Guild: 00:09:56

from

Guild: 00:09:56

her.

Guild: 00:09:58

splashed

Guild: 00:09:58

back

Guild: 00:09:59

into

Guild: 00:09:59

the

Guild: 00:09:59

river

Guild: 00:10:00

and

Guild: 00:10:00

the

Guild: 00:10:00

night’s

Guild: 00:10:00

stillness

Guild: 00:10:01

returned

Guild: 00:10:02

except

Guild: 00:10:03

for

Guild: 00:10:03

the

Guild: 00:10:03

coyotes’

Guild: 00:10:03

panting.

“Still

Guild: 00:10:06

there?”

Guild: 00:10:07

Marisa

Guild: 00:10:07

asked,

Guild: 00:10:08

feeling

Guild: 00:10:08

around

Guild: 00:10:08

for

Guild: 00:10:09

Mateo.

“I’m

Guild: 00:10:10

good,”

Guild: 00:10:11

said. “Did

Guild: 00:10:12

run

Guild: 00:10:13

off

Guild: 00:10:13

again?”

“Yes.

Guild: 00:10:15

hurt

Guild: 00:10:15

Guild: 00:10:16

more. Good

Guild: 00:10:17

job,

Guild: 00:10:17

Mateo.”

Guild: 00:10:18

Marisa

Guild: 00:10:19

felt

Guild: 00:10:19

her

Guild: 00:10:19

arms

Guild: 00:10:19

and

Guild: 00:10:20

winced

Guild: 00:10:20

where

Guild: 00:10:20

she’d

Guild: 00:10:20

been

Guild: 00:10:21

scratched.

Mateo

Guild: 00:10:23

smelled

Guild: 00:10:23

his

Guild: 00:10:23

sister’s

Guild: 00:10:24

wounds. “Did

Guild: 00:10:25

cut

Guild: 00:10:26

you?

Guild: 00:10:26

Are

Guild: 00:10:27

you

Guild: 00:10:27

okay?”

“It’s

Guild: 00:10:28

not

Guild: 00:10:29

that

Guild: 00:10:29

bad.”

The

Guild: 00:10:30

younger

Guild: 00:10:30

coyote

Guild: 00:10:31

whimpered

Guild: 00:10:31

for

Guild: 00:10:31

moment.

Guild: 00:10:32

Then,

Guild: 00:10:33

took

Guild: 00:10:33

Guild: 00:10:34

breath

Guild: 00:10:34

and

Guild: 00:10:34

felt

Guild: 00:10:34

around

Guild: 00:10:35

for

Guild: 00:10:35

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:10:35

paw. “I’m

Guild: 00:10:37

sorry

Guild: 00:10:37

about

Guild: 00:10:38

this,”

Guild: 00:10:38

Guild: 00:10:39

said. “I

Guild: 00:10:40

broke

Guild: 00:10:40

the

Guild: 00:10:40

hangar

Guild: 00:10:40

panels

Guild: 00:10:41

sneak

Guild: 00:10:41

away.

Guild: 00:10:42

I’m

Guild: 00:10:42

sorry

Guild: 00:10:43

for

Guild: 00:10:43

everything.”

Again,

Guild: 00:10:45

Marisa

Guild: 00:10:46

felt

Guild: 00:10:46

the

Guild: 00:10:46

need

Guild: 00:10:46

yell

Guild: 00:10:46

Guild: 00:10:47

Mateo.

Guild: 00:10:48

All

Guild: 00:10:48

the

Guild: 00:10:48

apologies

Guild: 00:10:49

the

Guild: 00:10:49

desert

Guild: 00:10:49

wouldn’t

Guild: 00:10:49

change

Guild: 00:10:50

the

Guild: 00:10:50

fact

Guild: 00:10:50

they

Guild: 00:10:50

were

Guild: 00:10:51

still

Guild: 00:10:51

trapped

Guild: 00:10:51

the

Guild: 00:10:52

middle

Guild: 00:10:52

the

Guild: 00:10:52

river,

Guild: 00:10:53

scared,

Guild: 00:10:53

alone,

Guild: 00:10:54

and

Guild: 00:10:54

fighting

Guild: 00:10:55

for

Guild: 00:10:55

their

Guild: 00:10:55

lives.

Guild: 00:10:56

Still,

Guild: 00:10:57

matter

Guild: 00:10:58

how

Guild: 00:10:58

foolish

Guild: 00:10:58

Guild: 00:10:59

mischievous,

Guild: 00:11:00

Mateo

Guild: 00:11:00

was

Guild: 00:11:01

her

Guild: 00:11:01

brother

Guild: 00:11:01

and

Guild: 00:11:02

she

Guild: 00:11:02

would

Guild: 00:11:02

anything

Guild: 00:11:03

for

Guild: 00:11:03

him.

Guild: 00:11:04

The

Guild: 00:11:04

fight

Guild: 00:11:04

wasn’t

Guild: 00:11:05

over,

Guild: 00:11:05

and

Guild: 00:11:06

she

Guild: 00:11:06

needed

Guild: 00:11:06

him

Guild: 00:11:06

with

Guild: 00:11:06

her.

“I

Guild: 00:11:08

forgive

Guild: 00:11:08

you,

Guild: 00:11:08

Mateo,”

Guild: 00:11:10

Marisa

Guild: 00:11:10

said

Guild: 00:11:10

last.

Guild: 00:11:12

She

Guild: 00:11:12

embraced

Guild: 00:11:12

the

Guild: 00:11:12

little

Guild: 00:11:13

coyote

Guild: 00:11:13

and

Guild: 00:11:14

pulled

Guild: 00:11:14

him

Guild: 00:11:14

close.

However,

Guild: 00:11:16

Mateo

Guild: 00:11:17

started

Guild: 00:11:17

reply,

Guild: 00:11:18

they

Guild: 00:11:19

heard

Guild: 00:11:19

the

Guild: 00:11:19

phantom

Guild: 00:11:19

cries

Guild: 00:11:20

again.

Guild: 00:11:21

moment

Guild: 00:11:21

later,

Guild: 00:11:22

river

Guild: 00:11:23

water

Guild: 00:11:23

reached

Guild: 00:11:23

their

Guild: 00:11:24

paws

Guild: 00:11:24

and

Guild: 00:11:25

Marisa

Guild: 00:11:25

opened

Guild: 00:11:25

eye.

“The

Guild: 00:11:27

water’s

Guild: 00:11:27

rising!”

Guild: 00:11:28

she

Guild: 00:11:29

yelped.

Faster

Guild: 00:11:30

than

Guild: 00:11:30

Mateo

Guild: 00:11:31

could

Guild: 00:11:31

say, “That’s

Guild: 00:11:32

impossible!”

Guild: 00:11:33

the

Guild: 00:11:33

weeping

Guild: 00:11:34

grew

Guild: 00:11:34

louder

Guild: 00:11:35

and

Guild: 00:11:35

the

Guild: 00:11:35

river

Guild: 00:11:35

started

Guild: 00:11:36

fill

Guild: 00:11:36

even

Guild: 00:11:36

more.

Guild: 00:11:38

seconds,

Guild: 00:11:39

the

Guild: 00:11:39

banks

Guild: 00:11:39

overflowed

Guild: 00:11:40

and

Guild: 00:11:40

the

Guild: 00:11:40

coyotes

Guild: 00:11:41

were

Guild: 00:11:41

forced

Guild: 00:11:41

start

Guild: 00:11:41

swimming

Guild: 00:11:42

again.

Guild: 00:11:43

Before

Guild: 00:11:43

she

Guild: 00:11:44

closed

Guild: 00:11:44

her

Guild: 00:11:44

other

Guild: 00:11:44

eye,

Guild: 00:11:45

Marisa pointed

Guild: 00:11:46

them

Guild: 00:11:46

the

Guild: 00:11:46

right

Guild: 00:11:46

direction

Guild: 00:11:47

and

Guild: 00:11:47

took

Guild: 00:11:47

Mateo’s

Guild: 00:11:48

paw.

This

Guild: 00:11:50

time,

Guild: 00:11:51

the

Guild: 00:11:51

creature

Guild: 00:11:52

stayed

Guild: 00:11:52

beneath

Guild: 00:11:52

the

Guild: 00:11:52

surface

Guild: 00:11:53

whipped

Guild: 00:11:53

past

Guild: 00:11:54

the

Guild: 00:11:54

siblings.

Guild: 00:11:55

knocked

Guild: 00:11:56

Mateo’s

Guild: 00:11:56

screwdriver

Guild: 00:11:57

away

Guild: 00:11:57

one

Guild: 00:11:58

pass

Guild: 00:11:58

and

Guild: 00:11:59

clawed

Guild: 00:11:59

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:11:59

back

Guild: 00:12:00

another,

Guild: 00:12:01

forcing

Guild: 00:12:01

them

Guild: 00:12:01

let

Guild: 00:12:02

each

Guild: 00:12:02

other.

Guild: 00:12:03

Her

Guild: 00:12:03

wounds

Guild: 00:12:04

stung

Guild: 00:12:04

and

Guild: 00:12:05

her

Guild: 00:12:05

limbs

Guild: 00:12:05

ached,

Guild: 00:12:06

but

Guild: 00:12:06

still

Guild: 00:12:07

she

Guild: 00:12:07

clawed

Guild: 00:12:07

the

Guild: 00:12:08

rising

Guild: 00:12:08

water

Guild: 00:12:08

Guild: 00:12:09

the

Guild: 00:12:09

ghostly

Guild: 00:12:09

crying

Guild: 00:12:09

continued.

Guild: 00:12:11

have

Guild: 00:12:11

Guild: 00:12:12

the

Guild: 00:12:12

bank

Guild: 00:12:12

Guild: 00:12:13

now,

Guild: 00:12:13

she

Guild: 00:12:14

thought.

Guild: 00:12:14

She

Guild: 00:12:15

didn’t

Guild: 00:12:15

want

Guild: 00:12:15

open

Guild: 00:12:15

her

Guild: 00:12:16

eyes,

Guild: 00:12:16

fearing

Guild: 00:12:17

she

Guild: 00:12:17

did

Guild: 00:12:18

the

Guild: 00:12:18

creature

Guild: 00:12:18

apparition

Guild: 00:12:19

would

Guild: 00:12:19

paralyze

Guild: 00:12:20

her

Guild: 00:12:20

again.

Guild: 00:12:21

How

Guild: 00:12:21

much

Guild: 00:12:22

farther—

The

Guild: 00:12:23

creature

Guild: 00:12:24

swam

Guild: 00:12:24

into

Guild: 00:12:24

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:12:25

chest

Guild: 00:12:25

and

Guild: 00:12:25

winded

Guild: 00:12:25

her.

Guild: 00:12:26

Guild: 00:12:27

one

Guild: 00:12:27

panicked

Guild: 00:12:27

heartbeat,

Guild: 00:12:28

wrapped

Guild: 00:12:29

its

Guild: 00:12:29

wounded

Guild: 00:12:29

tail

Guild: 00:12:30

around

Guild: 00:12:30

her

Guild: 00:12:30

and

Guild: 00:12:31

dragged

Guild: 00:12:31

her

Guild: 00:12:31

down.

Guild: 00:12:32

She

Guild: 00:12:33

reached

Guild: 00:12:33

out,

Guild: 00:12:34

and

Guild: 00:12:34

though

Guild: 00:12:34

she

Guild: 00:12:34

expected

Guild: 00:12:35

grab

Guild: 00:12:35

empty

Guild: 00:12:35

water,

Guild: 00:12:36

she

Guild: 00:12:36

felt

Guild: 00:12:37

Mateo

Guild: 00:12:37

grab

Guild: 00:12:37

her

Guild: 00:12:38

wrist.

Guild: 00:12:39

she

Guild: 00:12:39

had

Guild: 00:12:39

the

Guild: 00:12:39

air

Guild: 00:12:40

for

Guild: 00:12:40

it,

Guild: 00:12:40

she

Guild: 00:12:41

would

Guild: 00:12:41

have

Guild: 00:12:41

screamed

Guild: 00:12:41

him

Guild: 00:12:42

let

Guild: 00:12:42

go.

Both

Guild: 00:12:44

coyotes

Guild: 00:12:45

opened

Guild: 00:12:45

their

Guild: 00:12:45

golden

Guild: 00:12:45

eyes,

Guild: 00:12:46

hoping

Guild: 00:12:46

Guild: 00:12:47

see

Guild: 00:12:47

each

Guild: 00:12:47

other

Guild: 00:12:47

one

Guild: 00:12:47

Guild: 00:12:48

time

Guild: 00:12:48

despite

Guild: 00:12:49

the

Guild: 00:12:49

dark

Guild: 00:12:49

water.

Guild: 00:12:50

Guild: 00:12:51

their

Guild: 00:12:51

surprise,

Guild: 00:12:52

the

Guild: 00:12:52

water

Guild: 00:12:52

turned

Guild: 00:12:53

bright

Guild: 00:12:54

something

Guild: 00:12:54

swiftly

Guild: 00:12:55

approached

Guild: 00:12:55

them.

Guild: 00:12:56

They

Guild: 00:12:57

squinted

Guild: 00:12:57

drew

Guild: 00:12:58

closer

Guild: 00:12:59

and

Guild: 00:12:59

barely

Guild: 00:12:59

made

Guild: 00:12:59

out

Guild: 00:13:00

the

Guild: 00:13:00

shape

Guild: 00:13:00

another

Guild: 00:13:01

animal,

Guild: 00:13:01

long

Guild: 00:13:02

and

Guild: 00:13:02

slender,

Guild: 00:13:03

with

Guild: 00:13:03

glistening

Guild: 00:13:04

golden

Guild: 00:13:04

fur

Guild: 00:13:05

that

Guild: 00:13:05

radiated

Guild: 00:13:06

warmth

Guild: 00:13:06

through

Guild: 00:13:06

the

Guild: 00:13:07

depths.

Guild: 00:13:08

It had

Guild: 00:13:08

stocky

Guild: 00:13:09

limbs,

Guild: 00:13:10

webbed

Guild: 00:13:10

paws,

Guild: 00:13:11

and

Guild: 00:13:11

tapered

Guild: 00:13:12

tail

Guild: 00:13:12

that

Guild: 00:13:12

used

Guild: 00:13:13

catch

Guild: 00:13:13

the

Guild: 00:13:13

dark

Guild: 00:13:14

creature

Guild: 00:13:14

instant.

The

Guild: 00:13:16

glowing

Guild: 00:13:17

animal

Guild: 00:13:17

opened

Guild: 00:13:17

its

Guild: 00:13:18

mouth

Guild: 00:13:18

and

Guild: 00:13:18

sunk

Guild: 00:13:19

its

Guild: 00:13:19

teeth

Guild: 00:13:19

into

Guild: 00:13:20

the

Guild: 00:13:20

creature’s

Guild: 00:13:20

neck.

Guild: 00:13:21

Marisa

Guild: 00:13:22

wriggled

Guild: 00:13:22

free

Guild: 00:13:22

her

Guild: 00:13:22

enemy’s

Guild: 00:13:23

tail

Guild: 00:13:24

and

Guild: 00:13:24

started

Guild: 00:13:24

for

Guild: 00:13:24

the

Guild: 00:13:25

surface.

Guild: 00:13:26

Mateo

Guild: 00:13:27

pulled

Guild: 00:13:27

her

Guild: 00:13:27

Guild: 00:13:28

but

Guild: 00:13:28

already

Guild: 00:13:28

her

Guild: 00:13:29

vision

Guild: 00:13:29

started

Guild: 00:13:29

fade.

Guild: 00:13:31

another

Guild: 00:13:31

few

Guild: 00:13:32

moments,

Guild: 00:13:33

she

Guild: 00:13:33

started

Guild: 00:13:33

Guild: 00:13:34

her

Guild: 00:13:34

eyes

Guild: 00:13:34

her

Guild: 00:13:34

lungs

Guild: 00:13:35

burned

Guild: 00:13:35

for

Guild: 00:13:35

breath

Guild: 00:13:36

air.

Guild: 00:13:37

Unfortunately,

Guild: 00:13:38

the

Guild: 00:13:39

surface

Guild: 00:13:39

seemed

Guild: 00:13:39

Guild: 00:13:40

miles

Guild: 00:13:40

away.

Light

Guild: 00:13:43

filled

Guild: 00:13:43

the

Guild: 00:13:43

water

Guild: 00:13:43

around

Guild: 00:13:44

the

Guild: 00:13:44

coyotes

Guild: 00:13:45

and

Guild: 00:13:45

soon

Guild: 00:13:46

strong

Guild: 00:13:46

paws

Guild: 00:13:46

had

Guild: 00:13:47

them

Guild: 00:13:47

their

Guild: 00:13:47

grasp.

Guild: 00:13:48

Marisa and

Guild: 00:13:49

Mateo

Guild: 00:13:49

shot

Guild: 00:13:50

upwards

Guild: 00:13:50

together

Guild: 00:13:51

and

Guild: 00:13:51

were

Guild: 00:13:51

launched

Guild: 00:13:52

clear

Guild: 00:13:52

the

Guild: 00:13:52

river.

Guild: 00:13:53

They

Guild: 00:13:54

gasped

Guild: 00:13:54

and

Guild: 00:13:54

coughed

Guild: 00:13:55

the

Guild: 00:13:55

dry

Guild: 00:13:55

ground,

Guild: 00:13:56

paying

Guild: 00:13:56

Guild: 00:13:57

mind

Guild: 00:13:57

the

Guild: 00:13:57

glowing

Guild: 00:13:57

being

Guild: 00:13:58

waiting

Guild: 00:13:58

patiently

Guild: 00:13:59

the

Guild: 00:13:59

bank.

Guild: 00:14:00

Finally,

Guild: 00:14:01

Marisa

Guild: 00:14:02

shook

Guild: 00:14:02

her

Guild: 00:14:02

whole

Guild: 00:14:02

body,

Guild: 00:14:03

drying

Guild: 00:14:04

her

Guild: 00:14:04

bare

Guild: 00:14:04

coat

Guild: 00:14:04

somewhat,

Guild: 00:14:05

though

Guild: 00:14:06

did

Guild: 00:14:06

little

Guild: 00:14:06

for

Guild: 00:14:06

her

Guild: 00:14:07

sopping

Guild: 00:14:07

clothes.

Gaining

Guild: 00:14:09

sense

Guild: 00:14:10

composure,

Guild: 00:14:11

Marisa

Guild: 00:14:11

turned

Guild: 00:14:12

their

Guild: 00:14:12

rescuer. “Thank

Guild: 00:14:14

you,”

Guild: 00:14:15

she

Guild: 00:14:15

rasped.

Guild: 00:14:16

Now

Guild: 00:14:16

out

Guild: 00:14:17

the

Guild: 00:14:17

water,

Guild: 00:14:17

she

Guild: 00:14:18

recognized

Guild: 00:14:18

the

Guild: 00:14:18

luminescent

Guild: 00:14:19

animal

Guild: 00:14:20

large

Guild: 00:14:20

river

Guild: 00:14:21

otter.

“You

Guild: 00:14:22

are

Guild: 00:14:22

welcome,”

Guild: 00:14:23

the

Guild: 00:14:24

otter

Guild: 00:14:24

said,

Guild: 00:14:25

and

Guild: 00:14:25

Marisa’s

Guild: 00:14:26

ears

Guild: 00:14:26

perked

Guild: 00:14:27

she

Guild: 00:14:27

recognized

Guild: 00:14:28

the

Guild: 00:14:28

voice

Guild: 00:14:28

from

Guild: 00:14:28

the

Guild: 00:14:28

wind.

“Who

Guild: 00:14:30

are

Guild: 00:14:30

you?”

Guild: 00:14:31

Mateo

Guild: 00:14:31

asked

Guild: 00:14:32

steadied

Guild: 00:14:33

himself.

“I

Guild: 00:14:34

the

Guild: 00:14:34

Spirit

Guild: 00:14:35

Forgiveness,”

Guild: 00:14:36

the

Guild: 00:14:36

otter

Guild: 00:14:37

replied. “Of

Guild: 00:14:38

second

Guild: 00:14:39

chances

Guild: 00:14:39

and

Guild: 00:14:40

hard-learned

Guild: 00:14:40

lessons.”

Marisa

Guild: 00:14:42

smiled

Guild: 00:14:43

and

Guild: 00:14:43

rested

Guild: 00:14:43

a paw on

Guild: 00:14:44

her

Guild: 00:14:44

brother’s

Guild: 00:14:44

shoulder. “I’ve

Guild: 00:14:46

never

Guild: 00:14:46

heard

Guild: 00:14:46

stories

Guild: 00:14:47

about

Guild: 00:14:47

you,”

Guild: 00:14:48

she

Guild: 00:14:48

said.

The

Guild: 00:14:50

spirit

Guild: 00:14:50

smiled. “No,

Guild: 00:14:53

would

Guild: 00:14:53

not

Guild: 00:14:53

imagine

Guild: 00:14:53

so.

Guild: 00:14:55

Second

Guild: 00:14:55

chances

Guild: 00:14:56

are

Guild: 00:14:56

rare.

Guild: 00:14:57

And

Guild: 00:14:57

sometimes,

Guild: 00:14:58

forgiveness.”

“This

Guild: 00:15:01

one

Guild: 00:15:01

second

Guild: 00:15:02

chance

Guild: 00:15:02

won’t

Guild: 00:15:02

waste,

Guild: 00:15:03

believe

Guild: 00:15:03

me!”

Guild: 00:15:04

Mateo

Guild: 00:15:05

said.

“That

Guild: 00:15:06

good

Guild: 00:15:07

hear,”

Guild: 00:15:08

the

Guild: 00:15:08

otter

Guild: 00:15:08

assured

Guild: 00:15:08

him

Guild: 00:15:09

with

Guild: 00:15:09

nod, “because

Guild: 00:15:10

will

Guild: 00:15:11

not

Guild: 00:15:11

always

Guild: 00:15:11

around

Guild: 00:15:12

help.”

“I

Guild: 00:15:14

understand,”

Guild: 00:15:15

replied

Guild: 00:15:15

the

Guild: 00:15:15

little

Guild: 00:15:16

coyote,

Guild: 00:15:16

bowing

Guild: 00:15:17

his

Guild: 00:15:17

head. “My

Guild: 00:15:18

grandmother

Guild: 00:15:19

told

Guild: 00:15:19

something

Guild: 00:15:19

similar.

Guild: 00:15:21

From

Guild: 00:15:21

now

Guild: 00:15:21

on,

Guild: 00:15:22

won’t

Guild: 00:15:22

looking

Guild: 00:15:23

for

Guild: 00:15:23

trouble,

Guild: 00:15:24

and I’ll

Guild: 00:15:24

listen

Guild: 00:15:25

the

Guild: 00:15:25

old

Guild: 00:15:25

stories

Guild: 00:15:25

better.”

Guild: 00:15:27

then

Guild: 00:15:27

looked

Guild: 00:15:27

his

Guild: 00:15:28

sister

Guild: 00:15:28

and

Guild: 00:15:28

her

Guild: 00:15:28

wounds. “Actions

Guild: 00:15:30

have

Guild: 00:15:30

consequences,

Guild: 00:15:32

and

Guild: 00:15:32

even

Guild: 00:15:32

I’m

Guild: 00:15:33

not

Guild: 00:15:33

the

Guild: 00:15:33

one

Guild: 00:15:33

hurt,

Guild: 00:15:34

they

Guild: 00:15:34

can

Guild: 00:15:34

still

Guild: 00:15:35

hurt

Guild: 00:15:35

those

Guild: 00:15:35

love.

Guild: 00:15:36

realize

Guild: 00:15:37

that

Guild: 00:15:37

now,

Guild: 00:15:38

and

Guild: 00:15:38

I’m

Guild: 00:15:39

sorry.”

The

Guild: 00:15:40

otter

Guild: 00:15:41

bowed

Guild: 00:15:41

her

Guild: 00:15:41

head,

Guild: 00:15:41

too. “You are

Guild: 00:15:43

young

Guild: 00:15:44

and

Guild: 00:15:44

you

Guild: 00:15:44

are

Guild: 00:15:44

learning.

Guild: 00:15:46

All

Guild: 00:15:46

creatures

Guild: 00:15:47

make

Guild: 00:15:47

mistakes,

Guild: 00:15:48

but

Guild: 00:15:48

what

Guild: 00:15:49

matters

Guild: 00:15:49

that

Guild: 00:15:49

you

Guild: 00:15:49

learn

Guild: 00:15:50

better.”

“Thank

Guild: 00:15:52

you,”

Guild: 00:15:53

Marisa said

Guild: 00:15:54

again, “I

Guild: 00:15:55

know this

Guild: 00:15:55

lesson

Guild: 00:15:56

we’ll

Guild: 00:15:56

always

Guild: 00:15:56

remember.

Guild: 00:15:58

may

Guild: 00:15:58

story

Guild: 00:15:59

one

Guild: 00:15:59

will

Guild: 00:15:59

believe,

Guild: 00:16:00

but

Guild: 00:16:01

will

Guild: 00:16:01

still

Guild: 00:16:01

fine

Guild: 00:16:02

legend

Guild: 00:16:02

pass

Guild: 00:16:02

on.”

With

Guild: 00:16:05

another

Guild: 00:16:05

nod,

Guild: 00:16:06

the

Guild: 00:16:06

spirit

Guild: 00:16:06

returned

Guild: 00:16:07

the

Guild: 00:16:07

water.

Guild: 00:16:08

The

Guild: 00:16:08

glowing

Guild: 00:16:08

otter

Guild: 00:16:09

swam

Guild: 00:16:09

the

Guild: 00:16:09

center

Guild: 00:16:10

the

Guild: 00:16:10

subsiding

Guild: 00:16:10

river

Guild: 00:16:11

and

Guild: 00:16:11

dived,

Guild: 00:16:13

the

Guild: 00:16:13

light

Guild: 00:16:13

becoming

Guild: 00:16:13

dim

Guild: 00:16:14

she

Guild: 00:16:14

did.

Guild: 00:16:16

Still

Guild: 00:16:16

bathed

Guild: 00:16:17

moonlight

Guild: 00:16:18

and

Guild: 00:16:18

dripping

Guild: 00:16:18

wet,

Guild: 00:16:19

Marisa

Guild: 00:16:20

and

Guild: 00:16:20

Mateo

Guild: 00:16:20

quickly

Guild: 00:16:21

put

Guild: 00:16:21

much

Guild: 00:16:21

distance

Guild: 00:16:22

between

Guild: 00:16:22

themselves

Guild: 00:16:23

and

Guild: 00:16:23

the

Guild: 00:16:23

water

Guild: 00:16:24

possible.

They

Guild: 00:16:26

started

Guild: 00:16:26

the

Guild: 00:16:26

long

Guild: 00:16:27

walk

Guild: 00:16:27

home

Guild: 00:16:27

silence,

Guild: 00:16:28

too

Guild: 00:16:29

weary

Guild: 00:16:29

from

Guild: 00:16:29

their

Guild: 00:16:29

ordeal

Guild: 00:16:30

for

Guild: 00:16:30

conversation.

Guild: 00:16:32

However,

Guild: 00:16:33

when

Guild: 00:16:33

the

Guild: 00:16:33

aerodrome

Guild: 00:16:34

appeared

Guild: 00:16:34

the

Guild: 00:16:34

horizon,

Guild: 00:16:35

Mateo

Guild: 00:16:36

finally

Guild: 00:16:36

spoke. “Do

Guild: 00:16:38

you

Guild: 00:16:38

think

Guild: 00:16:38

was

Guild: 00:16:38

all

Guild: 00:16:39

dream?”

Narrowing

Guild: 00:16:41

her

Guild: 00:16:41

gaze

Guild: 00:16:42

her

Guild: 00:16:42

brother

Guild: 00:16:43

and

Guild: 00:16:43

touching

Guild: 00:16:43

her

Guild: 00:16:43

aching

Guild: 00:16:44

arms,

Guild: 00:16:45

Marisa

Guild: 00:16:45

chuckled. “A

Guild: 00:16:46

dream

Guild: 00:16:47

shared?

Guild: 00:16:48

Not

Guild: 00:16:48

likely.”

Guild: 00:16:49

She

Guild: 00:16:49

examined

Guild: 00:16:50

where

Guild: 00:16:50

her

Guild: 00:16:50

wounds

Guild: 00:16:51

had

Guild: 00:16:51

been

Guild: 00:16:52

and

Guild: 00:16:52

furrowed

Guild: 00:16:52

her

Guild: 00:16:52

brow

Guild: 00:16:53

when

Guild: 00:16:53

she

Guild: 00:16:53

saw

Guild: 00:16:53

they

Guild: 00:16:54

had

Guild: 00:16:54

healed

Guild: 00:16:54

into

Guild: 00:16:54

dim

Guild: 00:16:55

scars

Guild: 00:16:55

and

Guild: 00:16:56

slightly

Guild: 00:16:56

discolored

Guild: 00:16:56

fur.

Guild: 00:16:58

They

Guild: 00:16:58

were

Guild: 00:16:58

still

Guild: 00:16:58

sore. “Besides,

Guild: 00:17:01

never

Guild: 00:17:01

had

Guild: 00:17:02

dream

Guild: 00:17:02

that

Guild: 00:17:02

hurt

Guild: 00:17:02

Guild: 00:17:03

much.”

“Now

Guild: 00:17:05

that

Guild: 00:17:05

we’re

Guild: 00:17:05

land

Guild: 00:17:05

again,

Guild: 00:17:06

Guild: 00:17:07

safe

Guild: 00:17:07

thank

Guild: 00:17:08

you

Guild: 00:17:08

yet?”

“Pretty

Guild: 00:17:10

safe.”

The

Guild: 00:17:11

little

Guild: 00:17:11

coyote

Guild: 00:17:11

hugged

Guild: 00:17:12

Marisa. “Thank

Guild: 00:17:13

you

Guild: 00:17:13

for

Guild: 00:17:14

saving

Guild: 00:17:14

me.”

She

Guild: 00:17:15

ruffled

Guild: 00:17:16

the

Guild: 00:17:16

fur

Guild: 00:17:16

his

Guild: 00:17:16

head. “You’re

Guild: 00:17:18

welcome.

Guild: 00:17:19

guess

Guild: 00:17:20

it’s

Guild: 00:17:20

part

Guild: 00:17:20

being

Guild: 00:17:20

big

Guild: 00:17:21

sister

Guild: 00:17:21

and

Guild: 00:17:21

part

Guild: 00:17:22

growing

Guild: 00:17:22

up.

Guild: 00:17:23

I’m

Guild: 00:17:23

starting

Guild: 00:17:24

see

Guild: 00:17:24

why

Guild: 00:17:24

adults

Guild: 00:17:25

keep

Guild: 00:17:25

telling

Guild: 00:17:25

these

Guild: 00:17:26

stories

Guild: 00:17:26

scare

Guild: 00:17:27

into

Guild: 00:17:27

staying

Guild: 00:17:27

out

Guild: 00:17:27

Guild: 00:17:28

trouble.

Guild: 00:17:29

The

Guild: 00:17:29

reason

Guild: 00:17:30

they

Guild: 00:17:30

won’t

Guild: 00:17:30

always

Guild: 00:17:30

there

Guild: 00:17:31

save

Guild: 00:17:31

the

Guild: 00:17:31

day

Guild: 00:17:32

because

Guild: 00:17:32

it’s

Guild: 00:17:32

exhausting!”

Mateo

Guild: 00:17:34

laughed

Guild: 00:17:35

and

Guild: 00:17:35

wagged

Guild: 00:17:35

his

Guild: 00:17:35

tail.

Guild: 00:17:37

the

Guild: 00:17:37

distance,

Guild: 00:17:38

the

Guild: 00:17:38

siblings

Guild: 00:17:38

saw

Guild: 00:17:39

Abuela

Guild: 00:17:39

sitting

Guild: 00:17:39

Guild: 00:17:40

the

Guild: 00:17:40

flickering

Guild: 00:17:40

firepit.

Guild: 00:17:42

They

Guild: 00:17:42

turned

Guild: 00:17:42

each

Guild: 00:17:42

other

Guild: 00:17:43

and

Guild: 00:17:43

after

Guild: 00:17:43

Marisa

Guild: 00:17:44

shrugged,

Guild: 00:17:45

they

Guild: 00:17:45

both

Guild: 00:17:45

howled

Guild: 00:17:46

into

Guild: 00:17:46

the

Guild: 00:17:46

dawn.

Guild: 00:17:47

Not

Guild: 00:17:47

long

Guild: 00:17:48

after,

Guild: 00:17:48

Abuela

Guild: 00:17:49

howled

Guild: 00:17:49

back.

“What

Guild: 00:17:51

have

Guild: 00:17:51

you

Guild: 00:17:51

two

Guild: 00:17:51

been

Guild: 00:17:52

to?”

Guild: 00:17:53

Abuela

Guild: 00:17:53

demanded

Guild: 00:17:54

when

Guild: 00:17:54

they

Guild: 00:17:54

finally

Guild: 00:17:54

returned. “And

Guild: 00:17:56

don’t

Guild: 00:17:56

you

Guild: 00:17:56

dare

Guild: 00:17:56

lie

Guild: 00:17:57

me.

Guild: 00:17:58

nose

Guild: 00:17:58

may

Guild: 00:17:58

not

Guild: 00:17:58

Guild: 00:17:59

sharp,

Guild: 00:17:59

but

Guild: 00:18:00

even

Guild: 00:18:00

can

Guild: 00:18:00

smell

Guild: 00:18:01

the

Guild: 00:18:01

river

Guild: 00:18:01

you.

Guild: 00:18:02

What

Guild: 00:18:02

were

Guild: 00:18:02

you

Guild: 00:18:03

doing

Guild: 00:18:03

all

Guild: 00:18:03

night?”

The

Guild: 00:18:04

coyote

Guild: 00:18:05

children sighed

Guild: 00:18:06

together. “Abuela,

Guild: 00:18:08

don’t

Guild: 00:18:08

think

Guild: 00:18:09

you’d

Guild: 00:18:09

believe

Guild: 00:18:09

Guild: 00:18:10

told

Guild: 00:18:10

you,” Marisa

Guild: 00:18:11

confessed.

Suddenly,

Guild: 00:18:13

Abuela

Guild: 00:18:14

recognized

Guild: 00:18:14

certain

Guild: 00:18:15

glow

Guild: 00:18:15

their

Guild: 00:18:15

eyes;

Guild: 00:18:16

eyes

Guild: 00:18:17

she

Guild: 00:18:17

knew

Guild: 00:18:17

had

Guild: 00:18:17

seen

Guild: 00:18:18

unusual

Guild: 00:18:18

things.

Guild: 00:18:20

Or,

Guild: 00:18:20

perhaps

Guild: 00:18:20

was

Guild: 00:18:20

only

Guild: 00:18:21

the

Guild: 00:18:21

firelight.

Guild: 00:18:22

Still,

Guild: 00:18:23

the

Guild: 00:18:23

old

Guild: 00:18:23

coyote

Guild: 00:18:24

gave

Guild: 00:18:24

them

Guild: 00:18:24

sly

Guild: 00:18:25

grin. “Oh,

Guild: 00:18:27

think

Guild: 00:18:27

you’d

Guild: 00:18:28

surprised

Guild: 00:18:28

what

Guild: 00:18:29

I’ll

Guild: 00:18:29

believe.”

Mateo

Guild: 00:18:31

collapsed

Guild: 00:18:31

into

Guild: 00:18:31

Guild: 00:18:32

seat

Guild: 00:18:32

the

Guild: 00:18:32

fire. “In

Guild: 00:18:34

that

Guild: 00:18:34

case,

Guild: 00:18:35

you

Guild: 00:18:35

should

Guild: 00:18:35

sit

Guild: 00:18:35

down,

Guild: 00:18:35

Abuela.”

“Yes,”

Guild: 00:18:38

Marisa

Guild: 00:18:38

added,

Guild: 00:18:39

resting

Guild: 00:18:39

near

Guild: 00:18:40

her

Guild: 00:18:40

brother, “because

Guild: 00:18:41

have

Guild: 00:18:41

story

Guild: 00:18:42

for

Guild: 00:18:42

you.”

This

Guild: 00:18:48

was

Guild: 00:18:49

the

Guild: 00:18:49

second

Guild: 00:18:49
