"Let me finish the one you're on!"
Aaron pushed Ian away and dug the knife into the forehead of the wolf, impaling the beast. Before throwing the body onto the other bleeding wolf, he yanked the knife out of its skull.
The wolf howled in pain.
It was still alive.
Eyes begging for mercy.
AARON:
"I'm busted...out of breath..."
With the final blow, he punched the wolf's face.
Fiddling for his lighter in his pocket, he set the wolf on fire.
AARON:
"Done and dusted. You alright Ian?"
IAN:
"Yeah...a-awsome."
Aaron leaned towards Ian and wrapped his arms around his body.
AARON:
"Glad."
IAN:
"Three...dead...wolves."
AARON:
"Thriller. Best show of our lives."
IAN:
"Y-you're insane! But yeah."
Both released each other from the hug.
"Aaron! Ian!"
Velorra and Angus sprinted toward the two.
Finally, reunited.
IAN:
"Vel! Angus!"
AARON:
"Let's catch up later. Not with 3 corpses on the ground. Don't ask what happened."
VELORRA:
"Holy...I just noticed...it's making me sick."
ANGUS:
"Velorra and I heard Ian scream. We came as quickly as we could."
AARON:
"We are good now. Where's the wolf we were supposed to bring back?"
ANGUS:
"Velorra and I were found by the villagers. They dragged it home to be cooked."
VELORRA:
"Can we go? It's getting too dark."
ANGUS:
"Yes."
The group began walking.
ANGUS:
"Ian, have you looked at yourself?"
IAN:
"Ruffled hair and a bloody nose? I don't want to."
ANGUS:
"I'll help fix you up"
IAN:
"Why? I'm pretty either way."
VELORRA:
"Stop flattering yourself."
IAN:
"You looked at Aaron?"
ANGUS:
"Oh shit!"
AARON:
"Hurry. Don't want them wolves back."
