Stroke after stroke,Cole swam at the ocean to reach the next island. Soon Cole got a cramp on both his legs and all his legs ached and he was frozen from the cold water. Cole soon realized that he was going no where, that there was an invisible hand pushing him back two strokes after each stroke. Cole gave up and just went back the island he was on. Cole struggled from the pain and that he was really tired, Cole struggled just to keep his head over water. He used the waves to get him back and when he got back the rocky sea floor scraped his legs. Cole tried to get up but his body was lifeless and numb. Cole collapsed after each try to get up, he used his elbows to move, Cole rested and he kept thinking that he needed warmth. Then Cole thought about the flames of the burning hut. Cole went to sleep on the cold grass in the dark. When Cole woke up, he found himself on the ashes with bruises and crusted blood on him. Cole tried to stand but all his body parts still ached. Cole suddenly saw a big white bear. It was the Spirit Bear Edwin was talking about! Cole saw a hunting knife that survived the fire, he got it to threaten the bear but as soon as he turned around the bear was gone. Cole looked at the bottom and found the At.oow that Garvey had trusted Cole with. He got it and put it on his blood crusted, cold shoulders. Cole felt no regret for burning the hut and the tools,nor for hurting Peter. Cole thinks that it's not his fault, that its every one else's fault. If it weren't for his parents,Peter and the Healing Circle, Cole wouldn't be there, that's what he thinks. Cole wants revenge at the people who wanted him at jail, it's people like Peter's lawyer,Cole really hated her. Cole remembers the first time she holed the feather like a want and pointed it at Cole and said that he is dangerous and the next time he might kill some one. Cole hatted some one that accused him with people around. When Cole was at the Circle Justice meeting, a lot of people said that Cole had to go to jail but he didn't.
