pg. 295-316

This section is basically a boat chase between Sam and Orc. Drake is no where to be seen after burning down Astrid's house. which is extreme yes. Caine is on the radio talking to Orc telling him basically if he doesn't catch Sam he's dead. Guess who doesn't catch Sam?

Sam thinks ahead and realizes that the barrier( which crossed through the ocean) could be to their advantage if they crashed the two boats. So Sam slows down his boat and Orc goes full speed and crashed right into theirs. Luckily, Sam's boat was not damaged to the point where it was no longer drivable. no one ended up hurt on Sam's side except Astrid with a gash in her leg.

But Orc still gets to Sam eventually. they get into this big violent fight, Orc just using his fists, but Sam actually using is brain. Sam pushes Orc up against the barrier which burns anyone who touches it and you can clearly tell who has won this fight. for now.

Caine go ahead and warns Sam through the radio transmitter that he will kill him. Sam has now decided to escape. where to? I have no idea.

Lana on the other hand, has found herself in a pretty sticky situation. She reaches a bunch of buildings after walking for a while and finds no one to be there. but that is no where near the weird part. while she is there, she sees dozens of coyotes flow down the mountain whispering "food...food" yeah whispering coyotes, remember those? that has to scare the heck out of her. the thing is, once they reach her, they can actually communicate somewhat... the coyotes say that there are no humans here, and tell her to come out of the building she had run into from fear. the coyote says: "go out, die fast. stay, die slow." which i am inferring to mean that if she stays here without the adults, she will die a slow and painful death...

Lana finds a dead body in the building and finds out that the coyotes were the ones who killed the MAN.

The coyotes attack Lana, but they stop for some reason.

the coyotes lead Lana into a dark cave, her dog running off from fear, they reach what might be the end and she falls over. she collapses in impossible pain, the coyotes dragging her out into the night not knowing if she is alive.

i really don't know what to make of this, i am extremely confused. from the book, it makes it seem like Lana reaches Hell. I have to keep reading because right now, i am just as lost as it sounds.
