The wolves gathered around the pile of campers, jaws foaming. All they saw were life-size pieces of Beggin' Bacon. That were literally begging for their lives. The pack leader was slowly leading her team in a pincer circle, closing off any path of escape.

"Aww, come on! Is this really happening? If we would have just fed Matt to the damn bear then we wouldn't be herded in a circle of hungry mutts!" Light exclaimed waving his hands at the pack in front of him.

L scratched the multiple bug bites on his legs. They were puffy and swollen so there was a slight chance that the wolves may not find him appetizing. That was until one of the wolves jumped and tried to take a hunk out of his thigh. He quickly backpeddled knocking into Light, who was still ranting.

"Light, while we are making final confessions I would like to say that you are one of the only people who I consider as even marginally close to the same level of intelligence as me. Though it is still very below mine, I could see that you actually try," L said in a solemn tone.

Turning around, Light kicked L in the shin. "For all its worth, I hate every single one of you here."

"Love you too, buddy."

On the other hand, Mello wasn't going to give up without insulting the beasts that were going to devour him. "You all look like you need to eat anyways, you skinny bastards!" And you over there, your mom was a BITCH! To the rest of you, I hope when you eat me you get the shits!"

True to the Boy Scout oath, Matsuda wasn't going to give up easily and was trying to ward the wolves away from them with a large stick. "Bad dogs, bad dogs!" He called yelling at the three wolves that were trying to eat Light and L (without their realizing, they were arguing still). One lashed out and Matsuda hit it square in the jaw, which only made it madder. "You guys are mean! How are you related to Lassie the Wonder Dog in any way!"

Near had given up and was sitting next to Matt trying to calm him down the best he could in the final moments. "Shush, it'll be quick, alright? I doubt you'll feel anything at all." He petted Matt like a small kitten while he sniffled. "Hey, bet there's a PS4 in heaven."

"There is no God, is there? What kind of God lets innocent people get eaten by wolves!?" Matt yelled, tearing at his hair and curling into a tighter ball. "If there was one the He wouldn't have a PS4, He'll have a Xbox 1 just because he hates me!"

The pack leader was now closing in on the two boys. She was the biggest one, about the size of a German Shepard. Baring her teeth she snarled and crouched. Matt was firmly fixed in her sight and he was the one that was going to get eaten first.

All in the same moment, the wolf pounced and Matt let out a bloodcurdling scream. Everyone had froze and all their eyes were closed. But there wasn't the sound of crunching bones or splattering blood. Not even coughing as a wolf choked on Matt's glasses.

Matsuda hazarded a peek through his fingers to see who had died...which was no one. All of them were in one piece, no missing limbs. He fully uncovered his eyes to see that most of the wolves had backed off, surprisingly the pack leader too.

"You guys, we're not dead." He whispered to Light and L who were hugging each other tightly still thinking they were going to get eaten. "Hey, guys! Stop hugging, I think Matt's scream scared them."

L opened his eyes, shoved Light away from him, and examined the wolves around them. They were in fact eyeing them very warily, not sure whether to approach or retreat. "Intriguing. Someone get him to do it again."

Overhearing the conversation Mello eased over to Matt and grabbed a fistfull of his hair. In his ear he whispered, "When wolves eat people they start with your-"

Matt's wail drowned out the rest and the wolves scattered closer to the bushes. Now their tails were down and they were whining.

Brightening instantly Near pulled Matt up onto his feet. "Matt, your scream keeps them away. We could still get out of here!"

"That's nice, but my throat is starting to hurt-"

"Scream, you little bitch or I'll feed you to them!" Light threatened, reaching for Matt and lifting him in the air.

He lead everyone out of the horde of wolves with Matt over his head like an air raid siren. Behind them the wolves were howling along.
