Chapter 15

Ricks POV

Rick- "Woah, woah watch your step."

Rick said as he slowly pulled Franklin to the ground. Afterwards he glanced up at the sky to an golden red sunset. Jasper stirred a bit before the night as howls rang out in the distance.

Rick- "Alrighty, guess that means its about time we start heading back."

Joseph- "Huh, that's funny."

Franklin- "What's funny?"

Joseph- "Think I might've misjudged the time."

Franklin- "Is that a good thing or a bad!?"

Rick- "Ah, stop your worrying Franky. Just be glad we decided on going hiking today and not tommorow."

Franklin- "Oh yeah? Why is that?"

Joseph- "Tommorow's a full moon."

Rick- "Yep, you wouldn't wanna get caught out here on a full moon. Damn wolves go crazy; and howling all night."

Franklin- "Hm, well thanks for the memo."

Lilly's POV

Reba, Janice and lilly lay crouched behind a shrub as the human trio came on approach.

Reba- "There they are."

Janice- "What are they doing here?"

Lilly- "Okay we saw them, can we go now? Please?"

Janice- "Wait I'm gonna try something."

With that Janice appeared from the hiding spot into plain view.

Joseph- "And that is why you dont..."

Franklin- "HOLY SHIT!"

Rick- "Just..don't...move."

Franklin- "What do we do!?"

Rick- "Just..don't...MOVE."

Hutch's POV

Hutch finally arrives at the scene of the incident to an disgruntled Kate.

Hutch- "What have got so far?"

Kate- "Well there was a human here that's for sure."

Hutch- "That's odd. Are there any humans in the surrounding area now?"

Kate- "Actually, yes, about a short distance towards the east, but they are just campers."

Hutch- "You think one of them could have done it?"

Kate- "I have my doubt's, but I've met one of them."

Hutch- "Kate, you know how your father feels about human interaction."

Kate- "Yeah I know, but this one seemed a bit harmless. Though I don't know about the others with him."

Hutch- "OK, but I think..."

Kate- "We should just put this aside for the time being, besides the moon light howl is tommorow."

Hutch- "Well alright. Let's go inform Winston."

Franklins POV

Janice sat on her haunches curiously staring at the humans.

Franklin- "Move! Shoo! Get lost! Maybe I should throw a rock at it."

Joseph- "Bad idea."

Franklin- "Well I have a gun can I shoot it?"

Rick- "Are you crazy!? This isn't even gaming season. One firework will have park rangers all over this place and obviously I don't want to go to jail."

Franklin- "Well what do we do then?"

Rick- "Just don't move Franky it will go away."

Joseph- "It is getting pretty dark."

Lilly- "Psst janice, what are you doing?!"

Lilly said in a slightly audible whisper.

Rick- "Heard that? There's probably more."

Joseph- "Ya think."

Rick- "I guess I'll try to do something."

Franklin- "Hey! What happened to 'don't move."

Rick- "Just be quiet."

Rick slowly crept towards janice.

Rick- "That's it, I'm a friend, don't bite my face off."

Janice turned around and trotted back off into the brush.

Rick- "There, problem solved. Now let's get the hell out of here."

Joseph- "Welp, better enjoy the walk back, tomorrow's our last day out here."

Franklin- "Wait, really?"
