The Wolf Trials (Sequel to The Wolf Runner)

Chapter 9

Stiles' PoV

"Shouldn't you have found some trace yet?" Minho groans, for what seems like the hundredth time.

"It's never normally this hard to follow a scent, especially a familiar one!" Scott explains in annoyance.

"Maybe WICKED's somehow messed with our abilities," Geena says, offering some sort off suggestion.

"I wouldn't doubt it for one second if they did," Newt replies while rolling his eyes and slowly cracking his neck, "gosh! We've been here for ages. Is there anything that you can go one? Maybe even just a small thing that we could go one?" He asks impatiently.

"No, it's like someone's taken there scent and just put it in every direction possible," Scott explains while walking around the edges of the shack.

"I'll go check out side again. I might have missed something," Geena says while cracking to door open slightly and disappearing outside.

"This is so boarding!" Minho moaned again.

"The why don't you help instead of sitting on your but all day!" Scott quickly snaps back with venom in his words.

"In case you haven't forgotten I'm not a freak like you!" Minho shouts back, sounding annoyed. As soon as he says that the whole room is silent apart from the sharp and angry breaths of both Minho and Scott.
After a few minutes of awkward silence Scott rolls his eyes and looks the other way, seemingly very interested in an old white sheet on the ground.
Suddenly there's a loud scream which comes from out side. As quick as lightning we all quickly shoot up and run towards the door.

The scream quietly turns into growling as we all run out into the open air.
In front of me is a scene which I will never forget. Geena has turned into her fox form and is attacking what looks like hedgehogs. But these hedgehogs are bigger than normal as they come up to my waist, the also have massively sharp teeth which are shown clearly as they have no gums. The spikes on their backs are like million of sharp spikes which could kill you very easily.
There are 4 of them, all coming at Geena and attacking her. Suddenly 1 of them rolls up into a ball and comes at her as if it were a bowling ball.
Thankfully she just manages to dodge it in the nick of time. But as soon as she doges it others come at her, try to slash her with the spices and trying to roll over her.

"We need to help her!" I hear Newt say from beside me. As soon as he says that Scott seems to have been brought back to reality as he runs at the hedgehogs, slashing at them and trying to kill them.

"Over here!" I here Minho shout from the other side of the shack. Me and Newt quickly run to him. As soon as we have reached him he flings a long sturdy stick at both of us.
"This should help us fend them off," he explains as he quickly runs towards the hedgehogs with me and Newt trailing after him.

When we got back to the fight the was only 3 left. The other one was lying dead on the dusty ground, blood pouring out its chest.
As soon as one of them noticed us charging towards us they came and started to roll towards us.
I managed to dodge one but as soon as I had the other 2 came at me as well. Thankfully Minho and Newt managed to knock them away with the help of Scott and Geena.

When I get back into the battle the giant hedgehog that tried to knock me down came back towards me. Its spiced glinted in the sun as it gained ground on me. As soon as it was close enough I stepped out of the way and bashed it with my stick. Surprisingly the stick was thick enough and didn't break.
Razors from the hedgehogs back fell off as it kept rolling in the same direction.
It suddenly came to an abrupt stop and came back at me. This time going much faster and sounding angrier.
This time I decided to do the same thing, feeling more confident than before. But that was my mistake...
I was too slow, and before I could step away the blades clipped my arms. In pain I fell to the floor.

The pain felt much worse than a normal cut should. I cried out in pain as the wounds started to burn. The world around me started to go blurry as the corners went black.

"Tommy!" I heard Newt cry out. As soon as he said that I heard foot steps pounding towards me, but before I could say anything else my whole world went black.

Hope you enjoyed that chapter!
