Chapter 4
So far the night guard had gone without any sightings of the creature. Many wolves were letting their guard down even though they had been strictly told not to by Kate and Humphrey. Then suddenly there was a rustling noise which made everyone`s adreniline levles rise 10 tons or so it felt like. Then Tyler saw it a pair of green eyes that quickly dissapperaed and wasnt seen again. One of them decided to go tell Kate and Humphrey about the sighting. They were both watching the territory from the cliff just in case the thing wanted to go around and attack someone. Then someone entered their den scaring them half to death it was just one of the guards it turned out. "Tyler just sighted a pair of bright green eyes blaring from the forest should we check it out?" asked the guard and Humphrey replied "yes send just a few and dont put any gaps in our watches." "Yes sir" replied the guard then started to head back to the guards to dispacth some. He never made it he was jumped on the path back down to the guards he let out a very loud call for help but was ripped open. The creature had no time for his grotesque pratice and had to flee.
I jumped an alpha guard on his way back form the leaders den but was forced to flee after i had killed him. Well i hadnt had time to pull my little act but i had killed him so i was happy with that. "Congrats" said my voice and i thanked it. It had reason to congragulate me that kill was the closest i had gotten to the pack leaders den and I had pulled of a murder. I was so full of myself when i heard wolves and they were closing in quickly so I bolted. I lost them quickly but one still saw me going up the cliff that led to my den and they instead stopped chasing me and turned around. I would have to move again i knew i couldnt take them all "how about above the waterfall" said my voice and i replied "thats actually a great idea" so it was off to the waterfall for me.
Kate and Humphrey along with everyone else was shocked that the creature had gotten as close to 10 yards away from the main den and everyone knew that no matter how many guards there were the thing could get in. As it had turned out the eyes being shown were a distraction more than likely because it had opened a path for the creature when Tyler and a few others went to check it out. After they had left their post the door had been wide open for the creature giviing him the oppurtunity to murder his victim. The victim had been a wolf named Quixi he was a good alpha and had been at many of the murder scenes as a first responder and aid to the pack leader. His loss was taken like many others as memories were quickly returning to the pack and anger along with hatered and sadness were back in everyone`s mind. Winston gave a ver moving speech at Quixi`s funreal about his help on many duties and how he would be dearly missed by him and everyone else alike.
It was decided that afternoon to search the cliff all out for that thing and kill him for good this time. The search would be the next night and it was agreed by Kate and Humphrey along with Hutch and Can-do. Kayla and Tyler were also alerted and readied for the search/kill mission. Everyone was happy about the very quick reaction by Humphrey and Kate and many volunteers had already come foward and were getting fast hands on training. "So tommorow night it is" Humphrey told a couple that had just entered the den to volunteer. Kate told them were to get quickly trained by Can-do and they followed the instructions. From the overlook cliff you could see many wolves performing vaults and mid-air flips. It was impressive how quickly they were learning their anger and hatered toward this creature would actually be a key factor in killing it.
They were going to attack my old home well "good luck finding me there" i thought to myself and apparently the voice. It responded with a smart ass remark to back me up "their gonna need it" the comment made me laugh and i swear that i heard it laugh too. Then i found the den were it had been directing me it was small but would fit me easily and it was under the first section of the waterfall which when i looked down i saw it was easily a few-hundred foot fall from were i was standing and it brought back memories of my near-death expeirence but i quickly shook the thought off. I went inside then den and it was clear enough for my taste. "Speaking of taste" i thought "its time to eat." I had caught a large rabbit that would make my dinner i devoured it almost immeidatly and i was set for the night. The ywere going to have a hard time finding me in my old den tommorow night. The thought of them searching deperatly made me laugh.
The night was full of nightmares for Tyler one went as follows:
"Kayla? Kayla! KAYLA! Where are you?" she was right there in front of him but her eyes were open with no life. Blood was flowing from her stomach then she simply faded into the ground with a horribly helpless scream. Winston then was running away from the creature but was hepless as it caught and literally shredded him. Humphrey was cornered in his den guarding kate but they too were both killed the Kate`s helpless litter of pups was destroyed one by one. Tyler yelled "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" then he fell into a black nothingness and he too was shredded as they all looked at him with empty expressions. He then woke up in his den to find Kayla experiencing a nightmare so he woke her up as well as the ytalked the nightmares over.
