No Longer A Secret
An Hope Holmes Adventure Chapter XXVI

My head was swimming again, now it looked as if I was in the forest again. The last time I was competent, I had inspected my leg, it was infected from the lack of medical treatment that I was receiving. Heat radiated from my infected leg, leaving the cold air to bite at the sore tissues. I shivered from the cold. I felt drops of water fall on to my face. I gazed up at the darkened sky that was partially obstructed by the trees. I saw the rain fall as if the rain laden clouds were aiming for me. I heard the man' he was breathing slowly and yet labored as if restraining himself from killing me then and there. I gazed up at him, the wolf, with my groggy and fevered eyes. He was staring at me hungrily, licking his chops. I shivered involuntarily; gazing at him was looking at death himself. The wolf smiled at me with his sharp and wound inflicting teeth, shining; his grin scared me. Then there was a strike of lightening and a clap of thunder. I heard a voice thundering commanding and reviving my senses back to reality. I heard several voices calling my name. I tried to answer the call, but I was gagged. Then the Colonel hauled me to my still unsteady feet, and pressed a revolver into my ribcage. The door burst opened and my father walked in with his revolver pointed at us.
"It's over Colonel, now let her go and surrender yourself!" My father ordered harshly seeing me shiver against his grip.
