At the end of what felt like an eternity, but what was only truly two hours, she decided to take a break to regain some strength.
- « We are going to take a small break, we shall not hold out otherwise. » She said, driving Brennan towards a big root that overtook the ground and adorned a sandbank. He allowed himself to be led and sat down, squeezing the jacket around his shoulders.
- « You're shivering. » She said, looking at him closer. Then she puts her hand on his forehead. « You're burning up! You have a fever! » She took the survival bag out of his hands and handed him two tablets. « Now you are going to take them and do not
argue! You saw in what state you are in? Why did you keep quiet and not tell me earlier that you were feverish? You should have taken these tablets this morning! » She said, getting angry in spite of herself, the anxiety tiring her .
- « That will do Shal. It is only a little fever, it is bearable. I am going to hold out. » He said crestfallen.
- « Do not argue! You are going to take these and we are going to take advantage of this break to eat something, just to gather strength. »
She forced him to take the tablets and took out cereal bars that had stayed in the bag. She counted the food and saw that there were only the 2 cereal bars that
they were about to eat, 2 bars of chocolate and 2 salads. They were going to have to ration themselves until they found help, but how long could they survive with so little .
She sat down next to Brennan and gave him the cereal bar. She felt weak but had to stand firm, she absolutely had to help Brennan and get them out of this tight spot. They stayed sat there for half an hour, taking advantage of the sun and resting, but it
was necessary to resume the road . Brennan gave the jacket back to her, considering himself warm enough for the moment.
Shalimar got up with difficulty, a light dizziness forcing her to lower her head some seconds before moving. She stopped and helped Brennan to get up. She pitied him. at the mercy of anything and depending on her for all things.
- « We will have to find some sign of civilization before night, otherwise we shall be trapped here and it will be necessary to find another shelter. »
- « Let us hope » he said with a sigh.
They resumed walking, more and more slowly given rhythm by Shalimar's steps who was scanning the skyline. It is then that Shalimar saw tumbling down in front of them, at top speed, a wolf! A wolf which seems starved and threatening .
- « Do not move. » She whispered to Brennan who stopped at the same time as her but without knowing why. He felt the tension in her voice and asked.
- « What? What's going on? Shalimar? »
- « Do not make a noise or sharp movement. There is a wolf in front of us and I don't think he plans to let us pass. » She whispered.
- « A wolf? » He asked unbelieving.
Shalimar stared into the eyes of the wolf, his piercing yellow eyes, as he stalked around them like prey. Her mutant abilities would allow her to fight but she was afraid of going away from Brennan who would make easy prey if left alone.
She stayed still, on her guard, waiting for a movement on behalf of the animal. He didn't delay.
The wolf got closer to them slowly, Shalimar turned too, not releasing its eyes, it smelled the air to know their smell. Shalimar changed the colour of her eyes and they became gold-coloured, as those of the wolf, but these are eyes of the big cats. She put herself in a posture of defence, keeping Brennan at her back to protect him in case of attack. The wolf seemed surprised by the change in Shalimar's attitude,
moving inexorably in on its prey. So concentrated on her opponent, Shalimar didn't see two other wolves which approached the scene, slowly, discreetly . It was Brennan who heard or smelled something behind him.
- « Shal, there is something behind us! » He shouted.
Shalimar turned around in surprise to see that two other wolves were almost on them.
- « Prepare a charge! » She shouted to Brennan as one of the wolves attacked.
Brennan who couldn't follow the scene with eyes, hears animals approaching and quickly created an electric arc between his hands, not knowing what to do with it. Shalimar sent the wolf which attacked a good kick in the mouth, but the two other wolves were very close.
She aimed Brennan's arm towards the second wolf that had arrived behind them.
- « Send! » She shouts.
Brennan sent the bolt of electricity that hit the wolf full in the chest to throw it a few metres further away.
- « Two less » she sighed. The pain in her shoulder lanced by waves, the effort which she had just supplied had cost her .
- « Where is the last one? » Asked Brennan. « We are going to redo the same thing, drive my arm towards him. »
- « Ok, prepare yourself. » She replied.
But before Brennan has the time to arm its electric arc, the wolf dashes to them. Shalimar pushed Brennan violently on his side and hits the ground herself as the wolf impacted on her.
Brennan, spread out in the snow could only hear the growls, the groans and the punches and the bites .
Shalimar, shocked by the violence of the blow, had difficulty getting rid the wolf. She was crushed under his weight and with only one good arm, she couldn't get free . She tried to strike him in the stomach and in the mouth but her blows didn't really seem to carry, the weakness returning in slow and ineffective movements. During this time, the wolf tried to bite down on her, grumbling when she tried to carry her blows. His jaw closes repeatedly on her left hand, sending terrible pain through her shoulder. Even though the teeth of the animal didn't succeed in passing through the thick material of the jacket, the force of the jaws echoes painfully in her bones.
- « Shal? What's going on? Where is the wolf? Are you OK?? » Asked Brennan completely terrified to see nothing.
Hearing Brennan's voice, Shalimar felt a burst of energy and a stream of adrenaline, realising that if the wolf finishes with her, it will take Brennan, totally defenceless. Her eyes became gold-coloured once again, her body tightened and she found an
incredible force that allowed her to strike the wolf violently in the head and to send it flying two meters farther.
He fell heavily on the ground, sounded by the blow received but got up and looked in Brennan's direction, thinking of changing prey and attacking the weakest.
Shalimar quickly stands up and puts herself in front of the wolf, her eyes gold- coloured and almost throwing flashes of lighting. The wolf moved back, not losing sight of Brennan, but Shalimar's attitude eventually convinced him to abandon the battle and to join its pack, the hollow tooth.
Seeing the wolf run away, Shalimar quickly moved back towards Brennan and dropped into the snow next to him, emptied of any energy, almost incapable of speaking or even to breathing .
- « Shal, where is the wolf? » Asked Brennan, not understanding what had occurred.
- « He left » she said in a breath.
- « You beat him? With a single arm? Are you hurt? » He asked worried.
- « Yes I beat him and no I am not hurt, I just need to rest for a minute and to get back my strength. »
- « Take your time. I only hope that they won't come back any time soon. »
Shalimar threw a nervous glance around her, watching for the possible arrival of wolves, knowing very well that she wouldn't be able up to fighting off a new attack. If she could even stand up .
TBC.
