Legend of the Ghost Dog (2012)
“Neither Daddy nor Caspian seemed to hear them. So I lunged forward, pushing my father as hard as I could. He lost his balance, and the shot he fired off went over Caspian’s head.
Even then, Caspian remained standing there, so rigidly, with such urgency, needing us to know something.
But Daddy didn’t mean to let Caspian live another moment. Like me, he knew in his heart that Silla was already gone. No child with weak lungs could survive three days and three nights in that storm with no food or w...ater, not even with Caspian to protect her. Something in my father’s mind had already snapped, and from the wild look in his eyes I knew he believed Caspian had killed Silla. Now he was going to kill Caspian.
I could not let that happen. I took hold of the barrel of the shotgun with both fists, angling it hard down toward the ground, and I shouted at Caspian to run. He took a single step forward and his eyes locked with mine. I felt his sorrow over the shock of the second gunshot. While I was still struggling with my father, Caspian turned and ran back the way he’d come.MoreLess
