Ch. 7: Ryan
The wolves are coming and Raynor tells the girls to get back as the first one appears. He threw his spear at it and it landed right in its chest. The rest of the wolves come in like the first on; on their hind legs. As Raynor draws a long claymore and I ready my sword and shield the wolves rush us. I dodge the first one and stab it easily, but more are coming. After holding are own for a few minutes, we are starting to get over whelmed. An arrow hits a wolf who is about to slash Raynor and I know Audrie shot it. Mary quickly joins in with her morning star mace. She beings hitting every single wolf in range. One makes it past us and goes after Audrie and I hear a scream five seconds later. I see Raynor's face drain of all blood. He stabs a wolf and starts running for Audrie but he gets pinned down by a wolf. I see out of the corner of my eye the wolf gets stabbed by Raynor's short sword. Then I am on the ground pinned down by a wolf whose breath smells like blood and something else that I don't want to know. I stab it and thrust it off me when I hear Mary scream. What I see is horrible. The wolf has picked up Mary by sinking it's claws into her stomach. All thoughts leave my mind, I throw my shield at it. I accomplish what I thought would happen. The mutt drops Mary and turns toward me. I chuck my sword at it and run towards Mary but the mutt deflects it. I lunge towards the beast hoping to keep its attention fixed on me and I succeed. It pounces on me while I try to punch it and strangle it but it's no use, I feel myself getting shredded as the beast's claws rip my flesh. Then when I feel I can take no more, mercifully it stops. The beast lands on me and I awake. Mary is holding me and a fire is going again. She tells me I was on the floor and she didn't know what to do and I was mumbling to myself. She smelled like the woods and on the fire I saw a turkey on a spit roasting, she looks very tired and worried about me. So I put on a nervous smile and say I'm alright. She doesn't seem to sure, so I get up and ask her how long she has been gone hunting. She replies she has been hunting for about an hour. Wow I didn't know that's how long my flashbacks were, but I have to be strong because if I break down, Mary will, and to tell the truth I can't stand watching her crying. I ask if I can have some of that great smelling turkey. She looks at me and says it'll need a few more hours to cook. So what do you want to do I ask? She replies that she'd like to sleep because last night was the first restful night she's had in a long time. I kind of blush and say yeah I know what you mean. She blushes too and hops into the bed, I join here and she again asks me to hold her and of course I do. I'm not as tired and I stroke her hair for a few minutes and I feel her relax and ooze into sleep. I am beginning to doze of too, I fall asleep telling my self tomorrow to ask her how she is still breathing.
