Chapter 5
The pack meeting had gone very well with all the alphas volunteering to help with defense which made Humphrey greatful it was also Humphrey who decided amongst himself that the females and pups would be hidden in the den just below he and Kate`s and it would be the heaviest defended and most of the pack would be relocated closer to the center with no wolves in the outlying sections of the den area. Of course even that he knew wouldnt stop this new thing and Winston from trying but it would make it more difficult so that was progress if anything could be considered that. As the night came around the plan was put into motion all they could do was hope the measures were enough to keep the two at bay.
"I see a way around the defense" Winston said making Flora think "what how?" of course Winston hearing every word in heer head said "look were the bulk of the defenses are then look to the right they left a small blind spot in between those to wolves." She looked in the area he was talking about and low and behold there was a small blind spot as long as they kept quiet they would be able to go right through it. "So when do we strike Flora asked "start moving now and when you get through them head staright for the den right next to Kate and Humphrey`s." Winston said and she started moving but she still heard him say "once you have killed the wolves inside run like fucking hell."
She started moving towards the two wolves looking around just to be sure that she hadnt been seen or no wolves looked too suspicious. She got close and closer and closer until finally she was right there between the two guards. She became more quiet than she had been before and after about a minute made it between the two. She stayed low until she knew none of the wolves would see her of course by the time that was possible she was right at the den Winston had told her to raid. She peeked around inside there was only one wolf inside but one was better than none. She approached and noticed the wolf was definitaly male and he was in a deep sleep so she decided the quieter the better but still that plan didnt work. She bit him deeply in the throat and he woke up immiediatly letting out a cry for help and getting a few blows on her stomach. She didnt have time to rip the throat out or anything because by the time he was dead many wolves were closing in she had a fight on her hands or paws if you will. She started fighting a few first responders and she knew that she had no choice but to do exactly what Winston had said. She bolted for the woods and quickly lost her pursuers "good job" she heard in her head "thanks" she replied "i do try" she also said "ugh another smart ass" Winston replied and yes that was very true.
The attack really came as no shock to anyone but the one who was murdered did shake the pack especially Humphrey. Salty had been the one sleeping in the den that the thing had attacked and he had been killed by strangulation they hadnt given the thing enough time to make the scene gruesome. Humphrey had saw the body and that was all he could take he and Salty had been freinds for as long as he could remember and now he too was gone the same as Shakey. He simply returned to the den no tears and no words just pure suffering and dread but that was being quickly replaced with anger and hatered. Once again Humphrey had a better reason than before to kill this creature and Winston. Kate came in only to have Humphrey say "tommorow we all hunt this thing and we kill it and we show no mercy." Kate was taken back by the sudden remark but she simply nodded in agreement and they told the pack to simply go back to sleep they would tell them about the plan in the morning.
The night was drawing to a close flora was asleep in a small cave she had discovered and Winston had just came back home when she heard and she was suddenly awakened by a rustling noise and it was close too close. She peeked around the corner bent down low but there was nothing there she checked the other side nothing there she looked around the front still nothing so she simply shrugged and went back into her den she planned on sleeping the majority of the day. Then she heard the rustling again but this time it was right outside of her den but as she got up yo check it out a gain she heard whatever it was run away she hoped to god it wasnt a wolf if it was they knew exactly where she was living but she wouldnt let that intterupt her sleep. However there are always more important things than sleep.
