Mitch screamed and narrowly avoided a bite to the head. He stumbled up and searched for anyway to escape Jerome's wrath. The huge wolf blocked the entrance, he was so huge he most likely can't get out! The terrified boy spun around and ran. Jerome snarled and clamped his jaws around his leg. Mitch screamed and struggled, blood pouring out. He finally managed to get away, limping to the crevice from before. As before, it curved slightly, enough to hide him. Jerome snarled and growled trying to get to the boy. Mitch glanced at his leg, it was covered in blood, flesh ripped away. He cried from the pain, knowing he was dead. "Come on,  MITCHY!" Jerome snarled, "YOU WANTED TO DIE!" His voice was deeper, more...terrifying. "I...I'm s-s-o-orr-ry.." He whispered, curling in a ball the best he could. If he left this mini cave thing...Jerome would kill him. If he staid, he'd die slowly from blood lost. Either way, he's dead. Jerome snarled one last time, then simply sat there, waiting. The only sound that could be heard was Mitch sobbing. The sound of Jerome shifting back broke the silence. "Mitch." Jerome said quietly, "Come out here." He didn't move, he didn't trust the wolf. At all. Jerome tried crawling in, failing since it was too small. Mitch whimpered, pressing himself closer to the wall. "Please, I don't.....want you dead." This didn't make sense to Mitch, but he said nothing. After a while of silence, Mitch whispered out, a simple 'why'. Jerome sighed, "J..just come out, I...wont hurt you.." Mitch didn't believe a word. It...is his fault, Mitch's. Mitch thought about everything, how he caused everything. He couldn't have just stayed quiet. "I...I-I'm s-so-orr-ry.." He repeated between sobs. "Just come out." Mitch, very hesitantly, did. Jerome instantly grabbed him, laying him on the bed. He snarled, "Do anything like that again, and I'll let you die." So much for a nice Jerome. Mitch nodded with a fearful look. Jerome growled to himself and wrapped the wound up. (Don't ask how!) He curled around him again, "Sleep." Mitch closed his eyes and, actually, moved closer to him. He didn't know what to think, one minute, he's nice, the next, he a huge wolf about to rip your throat out!
