I was still sitting in the truck, my forehead leaned on the steering wheel as the tears flowed down my cheeks in tiny rivers.

I felt like a failure. I had tried to turn Jessica into a werewolf to save her life; I had put my own baby's life on the line, and for what? She looked just as frail and lifeless as before. And now, here I was, sobbing on the side of the road.

But eventually, the tears subsided, and I wiped my cheeks with the back of my hand. It was time to pull myself together, to face the reality of the situation. If Lori needed me, I wanted to be home for her, at least I could still manage to be there for one friend, right?
