“Why did not you go along with them, I can deal with this by myself,” Alex stated as he appeared round himself.

“Are you certain you possibly can?” Melissa requested as numerous wolves exited the forest and surrounded each of them.

“Shit, this rain is making it tougher to battle, I believe we should always run away, I am the one one good at shut fight so you will not have the ability to…”

‘Excellent cowl’ Alex smirked as he stood behind a tree, ‘The rain is an ideal cowl, I doubt any of the wolves would discover me… wait Melissa’ Alex mumbled as he dashed in direction of her.

Melissa stood her floor as she used her bow to guard herself from the wolves however they have been too many for her to kill with out her arrows however none of them have been in a position to graze her.

*SQUELCH*

Melissa turned in direction of the sound and caught a silhouette of Alex earlier than he disappeared and two lifeless wolves on the bottom.

Melissa heard the growl and swiftly circled, two of the wolves have been already in entrance of her and sprung to assault her with their sharp tooth. Melissa hurriedly swung her bow to cease them, however the animals outweighed her and knocked her to the bottom.

The wolves strained to chunk her with their fangs, however as a result of Melissa’s now was blocking their path, they have been unable to get their tooth shut sufficient to her face. Melissa clenched her bow tightly as she muster sufficient power to shove them away.

“We now have to maintain transferring” Alex spoke from behind her inflicting her to flinch.

“We will not catch as much as the carriage, we should always wait the rain out, possibly climb on a tall tree–like that one to keep away from the wolves” Melissa pointed to a tree.I believe it is best to check out

“What if it rains until morning, will we keep there until morning or what?” Alex requested.

“I do not know, possibly…you resolve,” Melissa stated.

“I recommend we maintain transferring ahead, they is perhaps in bother in the event that they encounter extra wolves”

“They…what about us, we will not outrun wolves you already know that proper, what if extra wolves assault us, Rebecca is not right here to sense them so it is simpler for them to assault us within the rain,” Melissa stated.

“Why ought to I be nervous about us when you’re proper right here?” Alex stated as they walked ahead.

“M-Me”

“In fact, with you right here I’ve nothing to fret about so we needs to be nervous about them not ourselves,” Alex stated.

“Perhaps you’re proper” Melissa muttered with a smile on her face.

“Let’s decide up the tempo, I am certain they’re far forward of us”

“Let’s examine who’s quicker,” Melissa stated.

“In fact, you’re a lot quicker than me, my agility and yours are miles away from one another,” Alex stated.

“Then in case you win, I will provide you with something you ask, something in any respect, even in case you ask for all my weapons” Melissa spoke.

“It appears you’re underestimating me, you’re on,” Alex stated as he dashed ahead.

…

“Is it okay to cease right here, are you certain?” the rider requested.

“Sure, not one of the wolves are round this space so we’re protected, we have now to attend for Alex and Melissa,” Rebecca stated.

“Perhaps we should always return, we moved fairly distant, and so they might need bother catching up with us,” Lynx stated.

“Return, we do not even know if they’re alive or not, going again would put all of us in danger” the rider spoke.

“They aren’t lifeless, I am certain of that” Gabriel spoke.

“Then let’s resolve, ought to we wait right here or return for them?” Max requested.

“The rain is not easing up, we should always return for them, Rebecca can inform us when a beast will get too shut and we are able to cope with it,” Lynx stated.

“You’re the just one able to doing that, with the rain falling I can not shoot my fireballs and Max must climb right down to combat, we should always simply run previous them as an alternative of preventing” Gabriel spoke.

“What in the event that they hid themselves in bushes to keep away from the wolves and we run previous them?” Max requested.

“So what ought to we do, we will not simply wait right here anticipating them to meet up with us”

“I do not suppose we have to, Melissa is working in direction of us,” Rebecca stated.
