CHAPTER ELEVEN
"Wolf! We have to find them!" Wendell said angrily.
"Wendie, they'll be fine." Wolf replied, trying to calm him.
"Amanda said that they'll be gone for a couple of days, and it's been three days now!"
"Maybe they are on their way back." Virginia added.
"She's right Wendell. You don't know where they are now, so you can't find them."
"What about your smelling abilities Wolf?" Wendell asked. "You always say that wolves have a strong smelling instinct."
"They do. But, if we go after them now, we will come back after the same amount of days and we'll find them here. So, it's better to wait for them."
"Wendell, he's right. Besides, Amanda and David can take care of each other. So, don't worry." Virginia said and put a hand on Wendell's shoulder.
Wendell put his hand on hers. "I'm not sure about this. But I'll do as you say this time again. But after two days, we are going after them."
"Deal!" Wolf said.

Amanda woke up feeling extremely hungry. She got out of the wagon where she, Tara and Crystal spent the night and ran into the forest. She wanted to eat something fresh. A bunny, or a deer if she could catch one. She caught a scent. She stopped and sniffed the air, then followed the scent. A deer was eating grass. It was all alone. Having its breakfast peacefully. But Amanda couldn't let the chance go away. So, she got closer slowly, trying her best not to scare the animal and then, she jumped on its back and ripped its throat with her knife. The deer fell on her breathless and bleeding.
"Cripes!" Amanda said, as she was almost out of breath herself. She pushed the animal away and freed herself from its weight.
"Stupid animal." She said to the dead deer. "But you sure look tasty." She smiled and started to have her own breakfast.
She caught another scent now that made her growl loudly. Another wolf was around. She was going to protect her hunt. She looked around and didn't see anyone, but she kept growling between bites.
"Good morning!"
Amanda jumped upon hearing the voice. She turned back to see Leo standing behind her with a wolfish grin on his face.
"Don't do that again wolf. And go away." She said and continued to eat.
"Don't do what? Greet you in the morning? Or you were scared and want me not to scare you anymore?"
"Leave me alone."
"I won't. I'm hungry. Will you let me join you? You can't eat that all alone."
"Yes I can."
"You can't."
Amanda turned to look at him sharply, and her eyes flashed yellow. "Yes. I. Can." She said as anger started to take control.
Leo saw her face. She was so beautiful while angry. He wanted to continue the show, but he thought that she might get hurt. "Alright, you can. I think I'll go and hunt something else. You'll find me near the lake if you need me. Oh, and my name is Leo, not wolf."
Amanda didn't reply. She turned back to the deer, or at least what was left from it, as Amanda managed to eat its legs already. Leo went on his own way trying to find some breakfast.

At the camp Tara and Crystal were waiting for breakfast. Soon, David and Max joined them.
"Where's Amanda?" David asked.
"We don't know. She wasn't here when we woke up." Tara replied.
David thought for a moment. "She's in the forest. Hunting probably."
"I guess so." Tara said.
"Are we going to leave this place in the near future?" Crystal asked.
"Yes. Today at noon. We have to get to Kissingtown as soon as we can." David said and turned to Max. "Max, is the carriage ready?"
"Yes, Your…" He stopped as he saw David's look. "Yes sir." He said instead.
"That's good. So, we'll leave as soon as Amanda comes back." David said and they all joined the breakfast table.

The trolls were at their palace. They were confused about the mirror disappearing from its place where they left it.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Bluebell asked.
"I don't know." Blabberwort replied.
"That fairy tricked us! I'll kill her when I see her!" Burly said, waving his dagger in front of his siblings.
"What about the master? What are we going to tell him?" Bluebell asked again.
"Suck an elf! I forgot about him." Burly said.
"But where is the mirror?" Blabberwort asked. "It wasn't where we left it."
"She did it! She's back here!" Burly stood from his seat. "We have to find them!"
"But what about the master?" Bluebell asked again. "He will kill us if he knew about the mirror."
"Not to mention being tricked by the fairy." Blabberwort added.
"Oh, suck an elf you two! We can do this without telling the master. He doesn't need to know."
They sat there talking and arguing not even noticing that there was someone watching them through the mirror that was on the wall.
A man with a white cloak and black hair watched them silently through the spying mirror that he owned.
