Stranded: Gun and Injured Wolf
Stranded

In the middle of a derelict, isolated village, torrential rain hammered down. The midnight moon hovered over the rough snowy mountains. Werewolves howled louder than the foghorn in the distance. We were marooned and stranded feeling anxious about what our next move was going to be. It felt like a life or death moment. This sought of excitement seemed to be only in novels, not real life. We really needed to act quickly to stand a chance of survival. It was happening to us and our chances of surviving were slim.

I am Ben Cracknell, I want to take you with me through the journey that Scarlett, Jim and I endured.

“Come over here!” I bellowed.
“I think he is dead,” whispered Scarlett.
“What is this?” replied Jim.
Covered in the snow was a cold mammal front paw; grey and black with a gash, gushing with black, thick blood.
“We should leave now! It could be a werewolf. It maybe infectious.” specified Jim.
“No, no, no we should help him, he is in great pain,” replied Scarlett. Having a soft girly moment for the poor animal.
“I’m not risking it! We need to find something sharp or a weapon first before we endanger ourselves.” reacted Ben.
The village was filled with old wooden cabins. Frozen, with snow barricading the front door. Opening one old, rickety door took us more than ten minutes. We had physically exhausted ourselves, digging through the snow with our bare hands. Every inch of our bodies ached and all sensation had been lost.

“Hurry up, it’s getting dark and I’m getting hungry.” I shouted.
“We need to find that weapon or something sharp!” Squeaked Jim.
I quickly decided to abandon the idea of a rescue plan for the injured wolf. This seemed a good idea at the time due to everybody feeling the way they did. We later found out that it was the wrong decision to leave the wolf injured and nearly paid with our lives.

I decided to ask Scarlett and Jim if they minded that I was behaving as team leader without a vote from the group. As I

    The splashes of the freezing spillway mixed with the cold wind coming off the water sent chills down my back. I yawned, the loud purr of the tugboat next to us made it impossible to hear my uncle ask if I was tired. We were passing the train of barges right after we left the launch and were headed into the woods. I have done all this before. It was all familiar to me. The only difference was that I had never been out here this early. The eerie white light of the moon was the only thing that let us see right now. Luckily for us the moon was huge and full tonight. It was about 4:30 in the morning and we were speeding into the swamps of the spillway. I looked at my uncle and I saw him standing up, driving the boat, with a smile on his face. This was his job and he loved it. When you love the wilderness, being out in the woods for eight hours a day was a treat. Especially when it ended with picking up a paycheck of about a thousand dollars at the end of each of those days.…

    A young deer has strayed away from her herd and is innocently grazing on grass. Ten yards away, a hungry wolf pack slowly stalks toward the fawn after trailing her for days. The deer senses what's happening and darts away, but it's too late, the fawn is as good as dead. The snowy terrain works to the wolf's’ advantage, with their huge paws acting like snowshoes. The wolves advance as their strongest member leads the chase. The pups watch from the sidelines as the deer quickly tires out. The head wolf quickly latches on to the fawn’s nose and brings her to the ground. The deer thrashes as more wolves come and attack her. Not long after, the fawn gives up her fight and the wolves feast.…

    The sledge knocked in the hill and Jonas was jarred loose and thrown violently into the air. He fell with his leg twisted under him while he could hear the crack of his bone. His face scraped along sharp edges of ice when he lay shocked with fear. Then he felt the first wave of pain. It was like a hatchet lay lodged in his leg, cutting through each nerve with a hot blade. He tried to move but couldn’t because the pain grew. He screamed and turned his head and vomited on to the frozen snow.…

    When I got to the forest, everything was dark and I had no idea where France was but I persevered on, thinking about home. An hour or two later, I was very far from the camp, but knew that the soldiers were probably looking for me now because they do a check at 2:00 a.m. when young Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more. I asked to myself whether I should keep going or start resting. A few moments later I came with the conclusion to hide and rest in a secret place I found.…

    The scalding screech of the snow stretched out in an endless fog. The weather has remained a thick blanket of snow for the last week or so, and our food rations were painstakingly low. We’ve been traveling for 93 hunbs already, and we still haven’t reached suitable location for settling. As I sit here near the flicker of the magikó fos that has kept our thawj warm, lit the night and protected us from the dangerous trómoi of the wild, I stared out into the night sky and subconsciously reverted back to that night, the night. . . .I remember every vivid detail, from the shouts of defiance to the threats and insults, screamed without a second thought. The split. Half of us headed one way, the other another. The night where the decision…
