A/N: Here's the next story! Enjoy! :)
Cap'n Turbot went to the valley to go hunting. Hunting there was very rare since no one really went there. No one would take him there. It was too dangerous they all said. Finally, a man named Jake decided to take him. They decided to camp at a nearby frozen lake. They hunted for 3 days but found nothing on all of the days. On the 3rd day, there was a big storm. Jake looked out of the tent. Strangely, the trees weren't moving but he could hear the sound of the wind howling. It sounded like it was calling for him.
"Jaaaaaake! Jaaaaaake!" called the wind.
"Am I crazy?" thought Cap'n Turbot.
He saw that Jake was huddled up in the corner of the tent with his head in his arms.
"What's going on?" asked Cap'n Turbot.
"Nothing." said Jake.
The wind kept calling his name. This made Jake more nervous.
"Jaaaaaake! Jaaaaaake!" called the wind again.
Suddenly, Jake jumped up and started to run off. Cap'n Turbot grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground.
"You can't leave me!" he shouted.
Jake broke loose and ran off screaming.
"Oh, my burning feet! My fiery feet!" he screamed as he ran.
The next day, Cap'n Turbot followed the tracks through the woods, to the lake, then down to the ice. He noticed that the tracks were getting longer and longer. When he got to the middle of the ice, they ended. At first, he thought Jake had sank under the ice but there was no hole. He then heard the wind pick up. Then he heard Jake's voice.
"Oh, my burning feet! My fiery feet!"
Jake was nowhere to be seen however. This scared Cap'n Turbot and he wanted to leave as soon as possible. Then he left some food for Jake, and he started out. Weeks later he reached civilization. The following year, he went back to hunt in that area again. The people there could not explain what had happened to Jake that night. But they had not seen him since then.
"Maybe it was the Wendigo. It's supposed to come with the wind. It drags you along at great speed until your feet are burned away, and more of you than that. Then it carries you into the sky, and it drops you. It's just a crazy story, but that's what some people say." laughed one of the people.
A few days passed and Jake was back. He found a man sitting by the fire. There was a blanket around him and a hat covering his head. Jake could swear he looked familiar.
"Hello, are you Jake?" asked Cap'n Turbot.
There was no answer.
"Do you know who he is?" asked Cap'n Turbot.
Again, no answer.
"Are you alright?" asked Cap'n Turbot.
Yet again, no answer. Cap'n Turbot lifted the hat and found a pile of ashes where a head should be...
