The next day, the sky are clear. The sun is blazing, waken all of them to continue their journey to the Black Sea. They wonder around the island to find some edible fruit to fill their hunger, Yunho bring some bananas to Mingi who keep pouting about him not finding any fruit for his stomach, not willing to see its pity face he give some to Mingi. 

"The Black Sea is a forbiden island." 

Hongjoong said, holding his one eye telescope. It was brown in color, with a gold skull face on its end. Walking around the deck, Hongjoong reach for the rope, he adjust the sail to slow the pace. "We leaving using a boat, our ship can't be seen. There might other troops other than us" the other understood what he meant. 

San push the boat and start rowing, they begin to depart from their ship. All of them stay alert of their sorrounding until they reach the island. Not long after that, they finally reach, San tie the boat on rock and jump off the boat and walk to the jungle. 

Taking a carefull steps, Hongjoong open his small map that he carve last night. It was as small as his palm, only a direct way was carve for him to reach his brother's destination. They all quietly follow him. 

Crack

"Shit!" Mingi shout, he steps on the rotten skull and clench into Yunho. They stared at Mingi and ignore his frighten face. 

"Be careful" Hwa said, then they continued walking. The jungle is getting more darker as they walk deeper. The trees are getting tall, covering the sun. Their steps getting more challenge, Hongjoong draw his sword and start to slash the long grass, making way for the others. Suddenly his step stop, looking at Hwa, he hold his breath. 

"Why?" Mingi ask. Yunho sensing something wrong and cover Mingi's mouth, he push Mingi behind the big tree and hide. San also notice the abnormal situation and jump to nearest tree. He peek from above looking all over the place. 

From a far, a swift steps can be heard. It was fast, as if a person is running. Hwa and Hongjoong both hiding behind the big tree holding each weapons. The step become more clear but its not one person but three. The three of them catching breath as if they see some terrifying, they all taking different direction to run from the thing that try to catch them. 

ROAR! 

A sight of the huge wolf appear, it was big. As if they could get caught they will  easily become its food. Noticing the thing that after him, Hwa and Hongjoong quickly ran from the scene and hide in a small cave, taking a peek to the three man. 

Bang!

One bullet was fired, following the other two and three. He pull the triger as fast as he can while running. Fuck. He cursed, the wolf were shot on its arm causing more anger and so it blindly charge towards the man. 

Noticing he create a chance to sneak attack from the back, the other two man rushed from behind. Realising another gun shot, it hit on the wolf. A roar was echoed in the jungle, the wolf swing its tail and hit the two man, both of them crushing each other and bump into a tree. Seeing its succeed, the wolf look at its prey in front of him, catching breath. Thinking such a delicious dinner to have. 

Grrrr..

The man watch the wolf coming after him, "Ahhhh, i dont want to die yet!" he shout. As he want to charge back to the wolf, a man jump off the tree. Landing on top of the wolf head, he reach for his knife and stab in the neck. the wolf roar painfully. It keep hitting its body on the tree to throw the person but his finger clenched deep into the wolf fur, not wanting to throw himself out. 

Not enough going for the neck, he stab the wolf eyes, causing a blood splurted out from it. the tail keep swingging and hit the other man below. He falls to his back, spring up and find a suitable place to land a shoot towards the wolf. 

Bang! Bang! two men struggled to keep the wolf down. 

"Shouldn't we help them?" Mingi ask, behind the tree. 

"Its San, if we interfere with his fight.. all of us are going to die" Yunho said. Mingi give him a confuse look "San has this devil side, the one fighting isnt him but the other. He cant recognize anyone so its better to leave him alone" he said, Mingi just nodded and look at the fight scene back. 

The last bullet pierce into the wolf head, the tail stop moving and its body drop to the ground. A pool of blood run from it. Seeing the sight almost throw him up, he couldnt know what the person in front of him thinking while slicing the wolf neck. It was unslighlty horrible, both of the eyes start to fall off, everyone can see the wolf die not because of the bullet but from the torment given by the man. 

"Hey you!" he call the person, he still stand on top of the wolf head. Hearing the person call him, he come back to his sense and jump off. 

Hongjoong and Hwa notice the situation already calm so they both came out off the cave, walking towards the man. Hwa unsheathe his sword and point to the man's eye, the man took a step back and rise up both of his hand. 

"Calm down.. mean no harm, my name is Wooyoung" he said.
