Close call
She saw a tree that was close by and looked like she would be able to climb easily enough. She made a run for it and in that moment the wolf took off to chase her. It was going to be a close call, either she would make it up the tree to safety, or the animal would bite her.
She jumped onto the tree and started climbing as fast as she could. She made it just in the nick of time. But this wasn’t the end of the chase, the wolf stood there and started to circle the tree. The animal was going to wait for Aliz to eventually come down and then make its move.
