Chapter Sixteen: And Then There Were Four
Vince and Ashley B. stayed still as stone when they saw one of the wolves start to wake up. Soon, all of them were beginning to show signs of life. Ashley looked at Vince.
"They're waking up, in case you haven't noticed," she told him. "Now explain to me WHY we got up here?"
"Hush, I'm tryin' to think!"
"Well, think faster because I thought I saw one's eyes open."
Before Vince could think of a brilliant plan, the wolves were fully awake. When the pack's leader saw their prey outside their shelter, he gave a low snarl and the others did the same as they progressed toward the van. Ashley grabbed Vince's arm.
"What are we gonna do?!" she cried.
"Stay calm! They want us to freak out so they can have more pleasure in...never mind. Just stay calm."
"Stay calm? How can I stay calm? Those things are hungry and they want to EAT us!"

Lawson and Ashley Q. were busy in the woods trying to find their way back to camp. It seemed like they had been out there for HOURS...
"Are we going in circles?" Ashley asked as she pricked a briar of her jeans. "I could've sworn we've passed this tree before."
"That's because they're all PINE," Lawson explained. "All pine trees look the same."
"Whatever."
"It's not whatever; it's what it is." (A/N: A little joke b/t me and my mom.)
Ashley rolled her eyes. She was so sick of being outside. If anything good happened at all out here, it would be getting somewhat tan.
"Hey, I think I see a clearing up ahead," she heard her "travelling buddy" say.
"Thank God."
When they pushed back the bushes in front of them, they gasped at what they saw. Vince and Ashley B. were on top of the van and a pack of hungry-looking wolves were surrounding them.
"Omigosh!" Ashley Q. whispered. "They're goin' to get eaten!"
"Looks like we weren't the only ones with animal problems."
Vince looked up, then shook Ashley B.'s hand excitedly before pointing out their friends in the woods.
"Oh my Lord, they're alive!" she exclaimed. "But they're all the way over THERE."
"Yeah, over there on the GROUND. How the heck are we goin' to get back together?"
"Hey, Vince!" Lawson whispered loud enough for him to hear.
"Yo, man, where've ya been?" Vince whispered back from the van.
"I'll tell ya later. How we gonna get rid of yall's wolf problem?"
"Don't ask me. I've been trying to lose 'em for two days."
"Okay, just a sec."
Lawson turned to Ashley Q. "We're gonna have to make a run for the van."
"WHAT?! Are you crazy? Those creatures are going to eat us for sure!"
"Not if we run fast enough."
"I think we need a diversion..."
"Oh, no! We're goin' through that again. I still remember that pushing-me-out-of-the-tree incident."
FIVE MINUTES LATER...
"So, we didn't need a diversion, huh?" Ashley Q. glared as the four of them sat on the van roof glancing at the ferocious animals surrounding them.
"Heh heh..." Lawson laughed nervously.
"Man, I can't believe you guys just ran through that pack of wolves...without gettin' killed!" Vince exclaimed.
"Where we you two at?" Ashley B. asked. "We thought you guys were dead."
"It's a long story, trust me," Ashley Q. replied.
"It wouldn't have been so long if you hadn't pushed me over that cliff."
"Get over it already!"
"Cliff?!" Vince asked. "Ya'll went over a cliff?"
"I'll fill you in later," Lawson remarked.
"Guys, those wolves are REALLY mad," Ashley B. pointed out. "Any more bright ideas?"

Jezebel flew over the tree tops in search of the missing van. Bob and Ashley frantically searched out the window for it as they slowly travelled through the air. Just when they thought they were never goin' to find them, Bob finally spotted the van.
"Look, down there!" he shouted, pointing down. "See it?"
"Yeah, but barely!" Ashley answered. "Tom, do you see it?"
"Sure do!"
"Want some binoculars, kid?" Patty asked, offering hers to Bob, whom graciously accepted them.
He looked through them and almost croaked when he saw what was going on. Ashley looked worriedly at him.
"Bob? What's wrong?"
"Uh...they're all sittin' on top of the van...surrounded by a pack of wolves."
"Wolves?!" Patty cried. "Tom, we need to get down there fast! Them youngsters are in trouble!"
