Boy Of The Forest [Malum]

Chapter 14

There wasn't much time left. The thunder and lightning had all ready started. The rain was going to be there in a matter of seconds and it wasn't going to be a little drizzle.

"Ollie! Ollie!" Calum shouted as he ran. He had to find the dog, he didn't care about the rain, he could get passed that. Finding that damn dog was the only thing Calum could think about. Finding the dog and getting back to Michael.

With another loud clap of thunder, Calum flinched as the rain pelted down on him. It wasn't just rain either, it was hail and rain, not a good combination. Calum started running, he had to move faster, he was out of time. He couldn't go back to Michael's without Ollie, he wouldn't let himself. "OLLIE!" Calum shouted once more before falling to his hands and knees. He slammed his fist against the ground looking back at the fallen tree that had tripped him. He heard a whine from somewhere around him, snapping his head up searching for what made it. When Calum head a whaling from his right he scrambled to his feet following the fallen tree, that had to be a suspect in this whaling. As Calum came to the base of the tree seeing that it had became uprooted when it feel over he saw that something was trapped under it. That something was Ollie.

"Holy shit Ollie." Calum said kneeling down next to the dog as it licked his hand. "Don't worry boy, I'll get you out of there." Calum moved looking to see how he was going to get Ollie out from under the tree. Luckily it didn't look too bad, his back right leg was caught under it, it might be broken, but it would be fixable if it was. At the second Calum was just happy that he found him.

The tree wasn't very big, if anything it was tall and skinny, no wonder it feel over so easy. The base of the tree was bigger then the rest of it, but Calum was sure he could move it. Finding a log small enough but bug enough that it would fit under the tree without breaking, Calum shimmied the log under the tree next to Ollie. "Alright Ollie, once it get the tree off of you, you move away from it as fast as you can okay? I know you're hurt, but you're gonna have to try as hard as you can for Michael." Calum told the dog whole only whined in response. Calum pulled as hard as he could using all of his body weight to make the fallen tree lift up enough for Ollie to move out from under it. Once Calum was sure Ollie was out from under it he let the tree fall back down him falling to his but in the process.

Ollie licked Calums face laying on the boys lap as the ran fell on them. "I'm glad you're alright boy. Let's go home." Calum said picking the dog up and started carrying him back to Michaels. He was done with the rain. He was done with being outside for once. He wanted to be inside of Michael's house laying in front of the fire place while the cuddled and played stupid video games. He wanted Michael.
