point, a tree had either been chopped down or just fell over. The tree fell almost entirely to the ground, however, he didn't quite make it to the ground. Because of how tall it was, it got stuck in the branches to the other trees nearby and rested at an angle. It was just low enough for the branches on it to be slightly above the ground and allow them room to curl up in and sleep under. Even if a hunter came by while they were under there, they would never guess two wolves slept underneath the tree. The leaves on it prevented anything from seeing in, but they were on the inside so they were able to see a little between the leave. Kind of like tinted windows.

After finding some place that was so safe to them, Kalgorn and Mist managed to get alot or rest. They hadn't been disturbed at all except for once where they heard footsteps. Both of them woke up at almost the same time. But neither of them moved a muscle. They were afraid to even move their ears to hear what the human was saying better. He stayed in place there for about a minute before he walked away. Leaving both Mist and Kalgorn with a feeling of relief.

After looking at each other to reassure themselves that each other was still there, they went back to sleep. Now that they were well rested, they set out again. Because Mist knew which direction The Lylrite Pack terra was, she lead the way. Kalgorn just made sure he kept up with her and stayed at her side. There was no telling how far they were from The Lylrite Pack's territory, and there was no telling how close they were either. They were pretty much just doing their best to survive and reach the only safe place they could think of.

It was scary, really. Not knowing if they were going to run into a human every time they seeked water. They worked together when it came to hunting food, but it was still dangerous. They had no idea where the human had come from either. For now, all they could do was run. But, even that turned out to not be enough for Kalgorn and Mist.
Around mid day they had stopped drink from a river they were passing. They knew if they waited they'd be dead thirst and possibly not come across another water source for awhile. It was pretty much just thinking ahead really. While they were drinking their fill, two humans spotted them. They were dressed similarly to the way the human Kalgorn had previously seen and both of them carried a spear. Once they'd spotted Mist and Kalgorn, they decided they would be a good meal. Two wolves, two hunters. While neither of them would be able to finish off an entire wolf on their own, at least they'd be able to feast like royalty with this catch.

So, looking forward to a healthy meal, the humans silently and stealth fully approached the wolves from behind. As you would guess, they were downwind of Kalgorn and Mist so the two wolves were unable to smell out the hunters until it was too late.

Kalgorn drank a bit more than his mom did but that was because he had drank less the last time they came across water. Now however, his thirst had caught up with him and he found himself drinking more than he'd intended too. He'd only just finished his drink when it happened. He pulled his muzzle away from the river and gave his mother a smile, about to gesture for them to continue when, out of nowhere, two humans jumped out at them, brandishing their spears. Jabbing it's sharp tip at them threateningly. Both Kalgorn and Mist shrank back in fear at first. But once it set in that these humans intended to kill them, their survival instincts kicked in. Kalgorn and Mist both growled at the two humans in unison, baring their fangs. Gnawing at the sticks that were being thrust at them, determined to take the point off them and eliminate it's threat to them.

While they both managed to render their spears useless, getting away from them was another story. You would think that running would be the easiest part for them, what with how much of that they'd been doing lately, but ironically, it turned out to be the hardest part for them. As soon as they ran off, the humans abandoned their sticks and started hurtling stones at them. The collisions of the small pieces of earth against their bodies stung and no undoubtedly would be sore later, but it did nothing to stop them.

The level of noise generated by this fight attracted an amazing amount of humans. Both Kalgorn and Mist were beginning to panic. They ran on, sprinting faster and faster until they reached a twenty-five mile an hour sprint, driving themselves to go faster so that they would get away and live. But there were too many of them. They wound around, often stopping and turning around in another direction to run to make their escape. Desperately trying to get away from the humans. Several of them had spears and they too were jabbing them at their sides whenever they came close to getting away. From what Kalgorn could see, he counted at least eight of these humans. Six of which had spears and every one of them surrounding him and Mist.

He felt like having a heart attack right then. Who knew what these creatures planned on doing to them if they caught them. He didn't want to think about it, but he did know those spears looked painful. He did his best to avoid them, but there were so many coming at him in different directions it was hard to not get hit by all of them. After getting jabbed, rather hard, in the shoulder with one, Kalgorn yelped with pain. The sudden rush of adrenaline made his seize the stick in his jaws and jerk it forcefully out of the humans hands. While he was unarmed, Kalgorn ran at him growling and showing his teeth.

His plan worked. With the human having nothing to defend himself with, he immediately ran clear of him. It gave him a very brief window of opportunity to escape. It was brief enough for him to get through, but he couldn't be sure about his mother. As soon as he got out of the surrounding humans, one or two of them launched their spears through the air towards him. Both came very close to hitting their target, but they missed, thankfully.

Not wanting to get killed by these things these humans were throwing at him, he ran away. His fear preventing him from thinking too straight. However, after nearly a minute of his sprinting, he realized something. Looking back, preying he was wrong, he saw that he'd left his mother behind. "No!" he mentally screamed. But what he saw, was not what he'd expected. The humans weren't still jabbing their spears at a wolf. It looked like maybe she'd gotten away too. But he couldn't be sure. "Mom?" he said, more to himself than anyone else. He didn't hang around for them to spot him attack again though.

Without knowing what had happened to the only wolf he knew, Kalgorn ran. He planned on running away from the area then circling around to go find his mother. However, things didn't quite work out that way for Kalgorn.

The End
