It's been several days since i had my meal. I was unable to locate any mice and haven't seen the silver creature either. I was starving again and my throat went dry. I just needed water. I paused for a moment. How could I have been so stupid? I was walking on SNOW . It was practically water just in a different form. I lowered my head and took a bite out of it. It instantly melted into my mouth into water . I quickly took numerous bites out of the snow and drank and drank. My throat ceased its aching and I relaxed myself. I looked up ahead into the forest. There was nothing but ice and snow. And a few trees. But dead ones. How long must I travel to join back to my pack? I thought about howling for them. However i was young and small. I doubt that they be able to hear it. For all I know ,they could be across the state. I guess I better keep walking.
In a few hours, I heard a loud BANG.
I jumped.
Birds fluttered away, screeching .
Rabbits hopped beside me. If I wasn't so scared, I would have cached those plump mammals. But I couldn't.My heart was thundering and my head was spinning. What...what..could that noise be? I heard a few twigs behind me snap. I whipped around and a gun was pointed toward my head. I froze. A hunter. I've seen them before. My pack was attacked by them not so long ago. Many family members died that day. It was chaos. My mother said that those hunters were our sworn enemies. Well, an enemy was right in front of me, ready to take my life. And I just stood there like a sitting duck. The human hunter chuckled, showing his big black and golden teeth. A revolting sight I might add. " Marty, Ben ", he called," I found another one and its a beauty." At a instant, two more humans came. Each had a rifle, which glistened in the Arctic sun. My breathing grew fast and heavy.
" Well, don't just stand there," said one of the two humans,"shoot it before it gets away." The gold toothed man looked again at me , with evil in his eyes. He gave me a smirk and clicked his rifle, ready to fire. I just turned and ran. I didn't know what I was doing. i could hear the hunters shouting behind me." Hurry ! It's getting away! Get your rifle and fire! "That was all I could hear from behind me. Then it came. BOOM! CRACK! BANG ! Bullets whizzed by me, hitting trees and snow. Animals scurried past me, some of them getting hit. I continued to run until I was hit. It was sharp pain coming from my left hind leg. I cried out in pain until I was slapped onto the ground. A pool of blood surrounded my torn leg.i tried to stand but it only made the pain worst. The hunters were closing in on me, I could hear them. For the first time tears escaped from my eyes. I didn't want to die. I've come so far to find my pack that I wanted to keep looking. I wanted to find my mother and siblings. I wanted to live with them again. To be reunited with them.From the corners of my eyes I could see the hunters. This is it I guess. I couldn't believe it.My life ends here. I die alone. I closed my eyes shut, waiting for the bullet of death to enter my body.
But that was not the case.
" Hey! ", Said one of the humans," I see something silver! And it's coming in fast! " The gold toothed hunter scouted the forest and then looked at a bush, where the silver creature suddenly leaped out of!!
"What the hell!" Screamed the gold tooth hunter. He tried and fiddled for his trigger, however the creature leaped onto his face and stared scratching at his eyes before he could do so." Ben ,Marty help me!!" He screamed. The other two humans just stood still and looked at their friend in shock.Then they dropped their rifles." Hold on buddy we got you!" They yelled.the two of them began to grab a t the creature pulling it away from their fellow hunter. My head came to an idea in a instant.This was my chance to escape! I struggled onto my paws which shot pain though out my leg. I whimpered but hobbled on. I started to go faster and faster. Eventually I ignored the pain and ran on deeper into the woods, leaving the silver creature and the hunters behind me.
