What Was That?
"Where is Ty? I told him not to go!" TrueMU said, looking outside.
"He should be here by now," said Sky, concerned. TrueMU sheathed his sword, and looked at the sunrise.
"Ty's been gone all night! I'm going to look for him.," said TrueMU.
"I'll come too.," said Sky. He took his sword and sheathed it. TrueMU walked outside with Sky.
"How are we going to tell where he went? I knew there was a predator! Jeffery kept getting scared and he wouldn't come outside.," said TrueMU. Sky sighed, looking at a trail.
"God…why didn't Ty let me keep those wolves? No he had to have cats." said Sky. TrueMU saw tracks in the trail. Then he saw giant wolf paw prints.
"Oh my god! The predator followed Ty!" he said, running up to the tracks.
"Where's Jerome when you need him?" asked Sky. TrueMU sent out a message through his helmet.
ASFJerome needed for a search and rescue party. On the north trail.
Sky read the message.
"God…I hope Ty is ok," said Sky. Then Sky and TrueMU saw the baca and BajanCandian.
"Who are we looking for?" asked Jerome.
"Ty…he went on a walk last night, but he didn't come back. We found tracks." said TrueMU. Jerome looked at the tracks. He looked at the wolf paws.
"These are way to large to be a wolf's, or any other type of canine." said Jerome. Bajan was walking in Deadlox's footprints.
"He walked away from the trail," Bajan said. Jerome looked off into the forest.
"Ty went off in there, and this predator was stalking him the whole time." said Jerome. Bajan followed them more. Sky and TrueMU followed. Jerome and Bajan looked at the foot markings.
"Ty heard the predator, he kept looking for it, and then it came from the shadows. Deadlox ran, and it followed." said Bajan, following the tracks.
"Mitch is in his tracking his stage. This is when he gets all focused. So don't blame him if he keeps walking fast " Jerome said as they tried to keep up with Bajan. They stopped dead when. Bajan stopped.
"What?" asked Jerome. Bajan pointed.
"Ty…" he said. TrueMU pushed past him and practically slipped on dust when he saw the mess in the clearing. The predator was lying dead in the clearing, a butter sword stabbed in its chest. Then he saw Deadlox. His chest was torn apart, and the side of his neck was destroyed. Long scrapes went across his face. A bite mark was on the other side of his neck.
"TY!" Sky shouted rushing over to Deadlox's side. Jerome rushed over to.
"Sky give me your sunglasses," said Jerome. Sky took off his glasses. Jerome placed his glasses under Deadlox's mouth. Air was still coming through his body, but it was faint. He gave Sky his glasses back. TrueMU and Bajan came over to Deadlox.
"Bajan, do you have-" Jerome started but stopped when Bajan took out a first-aid kit.
"Wow." said TrueMU. Jerome took it. Nothing was going to cover his scratches. He took out a towel and placed on his neck then on his chest. Jerome kept the towel there.
"Bajan, kept the towel and keep switching it between his chest and neck. Ill get help," said Jerome. Bajan nodded and took it.
Deadlox in grave injuries. Medical help needed
Sky sent out a message while Jerome tried to find a blood bag. Deadlox began to squirm, in fear.
"Its…its gonna kill me!" he murmured.
"Ty…you killed it. You're safe." said Bajan. Deadlox wouldn't listen to him.
"Go away! Leave me!" he shouted, trying to move. But since he had a massive blood loss the teen couldn't move. Finally HuskyMudKipper found them.
"Mudkip, do you have a blood bag? Or something we can transport Ty in?" asked Jerome. Husky took out a blood bag. Jerome grabbed it.
"Anyone wanna donate blood?" asked Jerome. TrueMU took out his arm. Jerome took out a dagger and slit TrueMU's arm. Blood oozed from the wound. Jerome opened the bag and the blood flowed into it. Finally it filled. Jerome took out a needle and took Deadlox's right arm. He stabbed it in and then connected the needle to the blood bag. Slowly it transferred blood to Deadlox. Sky then looked like he had slapped himself in the face.
"Of course! SeaBiscuit!" he said.
"What?" asked Bajan.
"My horse SeaBiscuit! He's back at HQ.," said Sky.
"Sky, why didn't you tell us this when you actually needed it?!" Husky asked.
"Shut up fish." said Jerome.
"I'm not a fish! I'm an amphibian!" said Husky.
"Guys…can we save the quarreling for later? Ty needs help!" said Bajan. TrueMU went over and grabbed Deadlox's headphones. He placed them by Deadlox's side. Sky came back leading SeaBiscuit, who stared at the animal in terror. He neighed and tried to tug away from Sky, trying to get away from it.
"Its dead." said Sky. SeaBiscuit followed Sky, but tried to stay as far away from it as possible. Then he saw Deadlox. He nuzzled his neck.
"Down boy," Sky said, pushing the horse to the ground. Bajan unhooked the blood bag (which was half empty) and placed Deadlox on its back.
"Anyone know how to ride a horse western?" asked Bajan.
"I do," Sky said.
"Get Ty to Jerome's treehouse. He has all the stuff to heal Ty." Bajan said. Sky nodded and took Deadlox away. Bajan turned his attention to the predator.
"What is that thing?" he asked. Jerome rolled it over and looked at its face.
"It's got a wolf's head but it's more muscular, and the body isn't a wolf's. Its a humans but it still has fur and a tail. Claws…I have no idea what this thing again." said Jerome.
"Should we take a blood sample of it to Seto? He knows these things pretty well.," said Husky
"We should take the whole body.," said TrueMU. Bajan and Jerome looked at each other.
"I'll take it, Jerome needs to help Ty." said Bajan. Bajan took out Deadlox's sword.
"See you guys at Jerome's tree house." said Bajan.
