Advice’ but you really should tell him.”
“I know, I know……..”
“Help!”
“WHAT?!! Who said that?!!” Bliss nearly jumped out of her fur.
“D-Don’t know……. Lets check……” Jade bravely walked down the path, followed gingerly be her friend.
“Ooh! Ooow! Help, Help!”
“There it is again, Bliss! C’mon!” It would be no surprise if I were to tell you Jade was the braver of the two.
“Help me p-please!”
Jade was first to reach the source of the noise followed by the still slightly scared Bliss.
“Oh! I-It’s you!” Jade ran over to the injured wolf. “Tommy, isn’t it?”
Tommy tried to raise his head to nod but he couldn’t find the energy so he just muttered: “y - y-yeah……Ooow my head…..”
Bliss ran over and saw Tommy lying, with an injured leg, on the ground. “Oh my! Tommy! Um…. One of us should get a doctor……”
“I will.” sighed Jade. “I’ll be quicker. You just wait there Bliss.”
“Um… OK…” Bliss watched her friend run until she vanished from view.
So much for a heart to heart talk…..
Bliss had sat patiently waiting for Jade’s return. Bliss had full faith that her friend would return triumphant, but somehow her faith was beginning to fade…..
Oh Jade! Where are you, Jade?! thought Bliss, an image appearing in her mind: Jade, struggling to free herself from the undergrowth around her. Slowly coming loose, but not quick enough to avoid the pack of vicious wolves coming towards her. From then on out her imagination seemed to take over, casting visions of blood and gore into her mind. She shuddered at the thought of it.
Not long later Bliss was beginning to lose all hope in her friend. Sure, she could just leave but what about Tommy? He couldn’t survive alone out here for so long. He could starve or become parched or the attackers could come back…..
Bliss continued to debate with herself trying to decide what to do. First, she tried lifting Tommy; she managed to get a centimetre off the ground for a split second. Then she tried supporting him while he walked; he walked and inch per minute. After trying each one six or seven times more she had to give up on the whole idea of moving him at all.
After yet another hour Bliss gazed up at the sky, the sun was beginning to set and the sky beginning to darken. She yawned deciding that camping out here tonight was her best option. She could be at home now but at least she could protect Tommy if danger were to come.
Little did she know danger was looming…..
Chapter 4: The Cure
It was now dark, the sun had vanished and the only light came from the moon and the stars high above. The wind was blowing softly through the trees, causing them to rustle slightly. The water was glistening brightly in the moonlight. Every hour or so a fierce howl would emerge from the distance. They were coming, the wolves, no doubt it was them she heard.
Bliss sat uneasily by Tommy, dreading the arrival of the wolves. Her heart was thumping like crazy. But as well as being nervous she also felt surprised that Tommy hadn’t budged since he’d fallen asleep. It wouldn’t have surprised Bliss to know that he was NOT one to be up at the early hours of the morning.
“OOOOOOOOW!” another howl came, this time it was closer.
Oh man! thought Bliss. This IS bad. Right no time to waste, I got to get Tommy out of here, and fast! She looked around desperate to find a way out. “Aaaaaw…” Bliss let out a yawn.
Nope nothing
she thought . Hmmm…. Now what?“ROOOOOW!” came the terrifying howl again.
Oh no……
Bliss gasped. I-I guess I’ll h-have to f-fight……..Bliss turned slowly and faced the direction in which the howl came from. She gulped. How would she fight off six or seven vicious wolves? She didn’t know, she didn’t care. She couldn’t think straight, the lack of sleep caused her to feel fatigued.
Oooooo……I don’t feel so good…. Bliss continued to look straight ahead. Her vision was becoming hazy and her legs were trembling with fear. Then just as a wolf appeared she fell to the ground, the fatigue and the lack of sleep was too much for her.
“Bliss, Bliss darling? Are you alright?”
“D-dad?” came a shaky voice.
“Zoe, Zoe!” called Bliss’s dad. “She’s conscious I repeat she’s conscious!”
Bliss tried to laugh, she really appreciated dad trying to cheer her up, but the moment she did her back and her legs and everywhere else began to hurt. “Oooooo….” she groaned.
“Don’t move dear,” said Zoe. “Now lets get you back to the hospital, we’ll treat you there.”
“You just rest dear, you deserve it.” whispered Boris.
“Thanks dad.” Bliss was loaded onto the stretcher and soon Bliss dozed off to sleep once more.
***
“Ooooooh” Bliss gave a quite groan. W-Where am I? D-dad? Ooooooh my head…. Bliss slowly opened one lazy eye. She looked around, examining her surroundings. T-The hospital?! Huh? Oh, wait I remember now…….
Bliss thought back to when she was in that creepy wood. The wood had always seemed pleasant at day but at night the trees loomed over you casting shadows beneath your feet, the wind blew dust from the path into your face and worst of all with the canopy of trees over you no moonlight nor starlight could seep it’s way in, which left the wood pitch black. It was like those woods people had in their nightmares, only real.
Bliss shuddered then carried on recounting her adventure: Back in the creepy wood she and Jade had found Tommy who had tragically been hurt. Jade had promised to return with help within half an hour. She never showed up, which left poor Bliss to fight for herself. Not that she could do much fighting in the state she was in. All Bliss could remember after that was collapsing with exhaust.
What also came to Bliss’s mind were the fierce howls she had heard that night. The ones that occurred once each hour, sending a shudder down Bliss’s back each time she’d heard them, now just the thought of them scared her. I do wonder who they were…….. she sighed she may never find out. Deciding to rest a while longer, Bliss closed her eyes and began to snore softly once more.
***
It was an hour later when Bliss awoke. She hadn’t meant to sleep that long, not at all. She must have been really tired to sleep all this time. She looked around her. This time she was in her room. It was a simple room and had beautiful yellow walls. A picture of her dad and Jasper hung on her wall, with a beautiful hand-crafted wreath border.
Hmmm. I guess they brought me home after a check-up. she thought. Hey! Wait a minute! T-T-Tommy! Oh-no! I do hope they found him, I hope he’s ok!“Bliss? Are you alright me ‘lil hero?”
“D-Dad is that you?” asked Bliss.
“In the flesh. How are you anything sore?” asked her father.
“No, no, I’m fine. It’s Tommy I’m worried about.” she began.
“TOMMY! Oh he’s alright. No need to panic.” said her father nervously.
