The wolf had once again followed the boy along the path up until this point. By now, he was ready to consume his meal. He stood in all his furry prime behind the blonde currently fussing over the small patch off flowers.
The scent of his prey, it was driving him crazy! It was now or never. A predatory growl ripped from the wolf as he pounced onto the small creature before him.
Alois was startled to hear the growl come out of nowhere.
With a shriek, he swung the basket hitting the wolf in the head. He heard the small whimper from the scorned creature and quickly ran back up to the path running again.
Twice in the same journey! This was ridiculous! Alois saw a lumber jack off to the side of the road and slowed down panting.
The man scratched his beard walking over.
"You there, are you in trouble?"
Alois nodded.
"A-a wolf!" He managed to get out.
"A wolf you say?" I'll take care of him!
He stalked off with his axe in hand and Alois shook watching him disappear into the darkness of the forest.
A few minutes passed with out a sound.
Raindrops fell from the sky, drip dropping on the green foliage of the forest and falling to the floor.
Alois grew worried. What could be taking him so long? Alois hesitantly walked backwards looking for the man who was kind enough to help him.
"S-sir?" He looked around. No sign of any one.
He was too busy looking for someone walking that he tripped over something in the road.
"ah!" He gasped seeing the axe on the side of the path. Looking around he noticed a trail of blood leading behind a tree.
Gulping Alois followed the trail, pulling back bushes and tree branches.
Lightening struck, and for a brief moment Alois could see the bloody and distorted face of the man from earlier.
"WAAAHH!" Alois fell back on his haunches.
"N-no way.." Quickly he looked around seeing no sign of the wolf and jumped up running ahead.
"Grandma why can't you live closer!"
