He promised Edgar and Alan that he would be back first thing in the morning.
It was getting late and his mum would be angry she found out he wasn't at home, luckily she was on a date with some guy who owns a video store.
He quickened his pace but stopped when he heard a rattling sound coming from behind a bin.
Normally, anybody who'd lived in Santa Carla for over a week would run like the wind without turning back but Sam's curiosity got the best of him this time.
He slowly took a step forward.
The bin shook violently and Sam started to panic.
Something jumped out and knocked him over but he didn't see what it was.
He decided that he didn't want to find out and pulled himself back on his feet then started running.
He heard footsteps behind him but dare not turn around but he knew he was being chased.
Suddenly the footsteps stopped so Sam turned around and nothing was there.
Had he been hearing things?
No he couldn't have, whatever it was, it was still here. He just couldn't see it.
Then he found out what he didn't want to know.
A large wolf jumped out from an alleyway and Sam could barely breathe.
It's fur was glittery like the stars and it's teeth were as sharp as daggers.
The creature moved closer to him and he froze as it began to take in his scent.
Sam was sure that he was gonna die.
He closed his eyes and readied himself for the beast to attack.
But it didn't.
He opened his eyes and saw the wolf lying down in front of him with it's head resting on his lap.
Sam reached out his hand and patted it on the head.
Then he remembered that he had some treats in his pocket that he kept for Nanook.
The wolf sniffed it before taking the biscuit from him.
Sam stood up slowly and the wolf sat at his feet.
Then a howl was heard in the distance and both the wolf and Sam looked in the direction it came from.
The wolf pricked up it's ears then tilted it's head back and howled a reply.
It was the most beautiful sound Sam had ever heard.
Then the wolf stood up and ran off into the night.
Sam was left wondering what had just happened.
