This will be the last time you see these wolves and I bet you're wondering where's Max going?
Chapter 13: Runaway Cub
Max ran around the entire forest all by himself, just running away from those monsterous wolves that he had to cope with for months and he just felt like he was living in a nightmare that lives in reality and that made him think that the world's a dangerous place to be in. He's been lied to, manipulated by, molested, beaten, threatened and savaged by those wolves and at five years old, he's already fed up with that and made a choice to get out of there by himself.
Suddenly, he hears the sound of thunder and lightning and he knows how much he hates thunderstorms a lot...but it could get a whole lot worse than that.
A distant howling echoed across the night skies and Max stopped himself as he hears the numerous howling that felt like it was coming near and Max shuddered in fear, thinking that they might come after him and just brutally beat the snot out of him to death.
"You made a big mistake, kid."
Max gasped as he turns around and saw Xi and his group of wolves surrounding him everywhere and the fear factor intensified like crazy the minute they stepped in and one wolf said, "You definitely broke the rule here."
"Now we're gonna treat you like we treated our victims that escaped or tried to escape." another wolf added.
"Just leave me alone!" Max exclaimed.
Xi comes behind him and slammed him down to the ground hard and he looked very furious and angry at Max for disobeying his orders and he said, "Why leave now? We were having such fun..."
What Max didn't know is that those wolves carried weapons...weapons that he's not yet ready to know yet and when they brought out the knives, swords and spears...Xi told him, "Now...you'll meet your fate."
What that meant is that they're gonna literally kill Max and as the lightning flashed, all the wolves were ready to attack and Xi said, "You should've listened to us. Consider this your punishment."
And with that, the wolves jumped all over Max, beating him in every which way but loose and he took a huge amount of beatings and scratches all over from them and Max screamed hysterically and when he tried to escape, the wolves grabbed him by the tail and dragged him back to the others and they continued to maliciously beat them up.
He got thrown off by the wolves and landed onto the tree, groaning in pain. Xi was getting ready to murder him, but Max saw another way out of this...he had to run. He ran as fast as he could to get away from them and the others chased him down, hoping that they'll finish what they started off and Xi said, "Whatever it takes, you'll regret what you did to leave us."
Miles away, Max just ran and ran and ran until his legs gave out and he ended up collapsing in on the ground as the rain pounds down the ground and the thunder rumbled louder as ever and Max believes that no one would find him and just leave him alone to die.
While he laid there, a middle aged leopard slowly walked over to him and he saw the five year old white tiger cub just laying there helplessly, all beaten and bloodied up and he could not believe that someone would harm a small child and he looked around to see who left him behind and he picked him up and looked at his face...the one face he did not like to see...a face full of suffering.
"Come, little one. I'll take you somewhere safe." the leopard said.
He puts him on his shoulders and walked his way to take Max somewhere further away from all of this and the leopard could tell that he's all alone and he said, "You'll be safe in no time."
Where's that person taking Max? You'll know coming up!
