Chapter 6
Wolf paused suddenly, moving his head back, straining his ears forward towards the camp.
"What is it?" Red asked. She listened too, not hearing anything.
"Blondie. He's up and wondering where I am."
"How do you know he's thinking that?"
"I can hear him walking around camp looking for me. Come on, we better get back."
Wolf stood to his feet, grabbing Red's hand again as they made their way back in to the dark forest. At last Red saw some light of the fire ahead. Confidence grew in her steps. She looked back where the moonlit scene was. "Did you always used to go there?"
"Lots of times," he answered.
They made their way to the clearing. Red stopped, seeing that Wolf indeed was right about Jack snooping around. He looked up after seeing them come in. His eyes flickered to their hands; Wolf let hers go quickly. "Oh hey Jack," Red said, "what are you doing up?"
"Just wondering where you guys were. You're on sentry duty aren't you?" he addressed Wolf.
"I am," Wolf confirmed, watching the boy suspiciously.
Jack didn't look convinced. He narrowed his eyes, flicking between the two of them. "What were you-"
"We weren't doing anything Jack," Red rolled her eyes, crossing the camp to her tent. "We were just talking. Now I'm going back to bed. Goodnight."
"Goodnight," the blonde said to her as she disappeared behind the tent flaps. He looked back to Wolf, stepping closer, whispering, "What were you guys really doing?"
Wolf looked at him, raising his brows over his forehead. "Why? What would we be doing?"
Jack kept looking at him suspiciously. "I saw-"
"Yeah you don't know what you saw brat."
"Then why were you holding hands with her?"
"She couldn't see in the forest; I was just helping her get through."
"Well what were you doing?"
"Just talking," Wolf said, voice low, warning him not to push the subject. "She couldn't sleep so we took a walk. What does it matter Blondie? There's nothing we could do anyway. Don't assume anything; you know what they say about that."
Wolf looked him up and down before turning away back towards the forest. "I'm going to patrol the borders. You go back to bed little boy. The big bad wolf will make sure you're safe."
Jack's eyes threw daggers of hatred at Wolf as he turned back towards the forest. Heart pumping he whipped around, stalking back in to the tent.
