Watchers in the Woods

Chapter 3: Into the woods

Turns out, T.R.R.O.W had been responsible for this colossal problem.My dad especially...

Wolves started to enter to the streets and buildings of our city. They rummaged through building after building, destroying everything in their way and, killing anyone in their way.

The government shut the organisation down and it was known to be the creator of this mess: the reign of the hounds.

I watched as the people of the world shunned in fear as wolves tore houses apart, and killing every human being in them. We fled of course, into the woods.

why the woods?

For some unknown reason these wolves have never stepped foot into the woods. It almost seemed like they were intimidated by it. The survivors of our city fled into the woods and tried to start anew there.

We were safe. We thought...

Day by day, these wolves start to grow stronger and stronger, smarter and smarter. They started to venture into the woods bit by bit, and we were forced to dive deeper bit by bit. We were running out of time!

If i don't find the reverse formula soon, we're all gonna die.

That was when i decided to find my dad's lab and to clean up the mess my dad made, and to figure out how it really started.

"So are you gonna help me?"  I pleaded with Sean.

Sean Specter. Sean is 2 years older than I am and we have been friends since we were in kindergarten. His dad was one of my dad's closest friend. They shared the same vision and were the co-founders of T.R.R.O.W.

Sean and his dad used to come over to my house almost everyday. Our dads would work on some science-y things and we were well, sorta forced to be friends. We went to the same high school, ate lunch together everyday,and did homework together. He was my bestest friend.

" Are you sure you want to do this? This could put our lives in serious jeopardy..." He started to reason with me.

"Look, it's either us, or everybody else perishes, Pick your choice Mr Specter."

He stared straight at me and i could see it in his eyes a mixture of fear, desperation, hope, and love.

love? what nonsense. We were just friends.

" Under one condition" he started off  "after all this is over, i'm taking you out on a date. Deal?" he slipped in a grin afterwards.

"so that's a yes...?" I just wanted to confirm.

"Well, i suppose..." Before he could finish his contemplation, i swept him up in a hug. Well, more like he swept me up, he was almost twice my size.

My mind was too overwhelmed by the fact that he had agreed to help me that without hesitation , i agreed to that "date".

A date? Is he being serious?

I shoved that petty thought aside. But a thought of a date with Sean did not seem so bad.

well, he is pretty hot... and we've known each other for a long time. It wouldn't hurt to right? But he's probably just playing around.

Our plan was to find my dad's lab and to get that reverse formula and to inject it into all these "infected" wolves, that's what we call them. simple right? well, that was when the whole ambush attack in the restaurant happened...
