Flight to Hell

Chapter ten

Dean and Corbett strapped the injured that couldn't walk into the makeshift sleds. They then instructed everyone who was going with them to grab anything that would be useful, clothes, food, blankets, and medical supplies, and get them packed and ready to go. Dean even found a cane that had belonged to one of the deceased that Sam could use on their trek down the mountain. He then spoke to the group.

"We're leaving….Those that are coming with us grab your gear and let's go…Those who are staying behind….good luck." Dean knew anyone left behind was as good as dead.

Max and three other people had decided to stay behind, but once they saw the others starting to leave they decided to take their chances with them, besides Dean and Sam were the ones with the guns and Max knew they weren't about to leave one behind for them. Dean was relieved, he knew his brother would have wanted to stay behind to try and protect them even though it would have been suicidal to do so, but Sam was like that, always worrying about everyone but himself.

After everyone was outside the plane Alice stood at the opening of the plane and begged everyone to stay.

"Staying with the plane is the only thing that makes sense." She warned. "The search party will zero in on where the plane went down and will be looking for survivors here, not on the other side of the mountain."

"We left a note for them." Dean told her. "We warned them about the creatures and told them the direction that we were heading in. They'll catch up to us or maybe we'll even run into them going down the mountain. … I can't force you to come with us, but if you stay here … you'll die."

"But you can't guarantee we won't die doing it your way either."

"No I can't." Dean said honestly.

Sam hearing the conversation made his way over to his brother.

"Those things are territorial." He explained to Alice or anyone else who might have doubts about leaving. "The thing is we don't know how far their territory goes. So you're right, some of us might die on the way down the mountain, but if we stay here we're just waiting to become lunch. At least out here some of us will stand a chance."

Alice still didn't want to leave the plane but if everyone else was going she really didn't have a choice, staying by herself wasn't really an option.

The going would be slow, the snow covered mountain was dangerous and they had to watch every step or take the chance that they could end up tumbling off a cliff and disappear into the rocky snow covered terrain below.

As they slowly walked away from the plane Dean, and three other men who were relatively uninjured, pulled the sleds by a rope attached to jagged holes in the metal. Sam offered to help, he knew his brother had bruised ribs and every step would be painful for him, but Dean didn't want Sam to put any more strain on his leg then he had to and refused to let him. He knew his brother shouldn't even be on his leg and should be riding on one of the sleds, but the sleds were too small for another passenger. Dean also knew that two of the three survivors that were riding on the sleds were more then likely going to die on the way down the mountain, if that happened he was going to insist that Sam take their place even if he had to forcibly tie him onto the sled.

As they walked by a small outcropping of rocks they could see one of the wolves sitting on a ledge high above them watching silently.

"Oh my God!" Sheila said when she spotted the wolf.

"Just keep walking, don't panic, and what ever you do, don't run." Dean knew panicking would be the worse thing they could do. A wolf liked nothing more then chasing down a scared animal. If they stayed in a group and presented a united front, the wolves would be less likely to attack, at least he hoped so. Max suddenly appeared next to Dean and Dean knew what was coming.

"I told you we should have stayed with the plane." Max said as he stared nervously at the wolf.

"They just ate, they won't be hungry yet." Dean hoped that was right. "And don't stare at him, it'll only provoke him."

"You're going to get us all killed, you know that don't you?"

"No one's forcing you to go with us. If you want to stay with the plane be my guest, but I'm getting these other people out of here, before those things get hungry again."

"You're telling me those things won't follow us?"

"No, they probably will, and we might lose some people, but I'm telling you that staying in that plane is like ringing the dinner bell. At least out here we have a chance. If we can get beyond their territory they won't track us."

"You're sure about that?"

"Yeah." Dean lied, he wasn't positive, but from what he could remember their dad had told them the creatures didn't venture far from their territory. But how wide was their territory Dean wondered? Walking down the snow covered mountain was going to take a long time, and Dean was sure some of them weren't going to make it.
