Rise of the Revolution

Chapter 2: "Surprise"

""WHAT!" I replied, taken aback by his answer, "I thought those weren't real."

"Oh, they are definitely real", replied Adoteete, bitterness seeping into his voice, "They took my granddaughter away from me."

"Wait, hold up", said Sara, "What are Windigos?"

"Windigos are the worst beasts in all of the Mohawk's legends. They are cannibalistic monster that lure helpless victims off the path into their traps to be gorged upon. Those are the lucky ones too. The unlucky ones are possessed and transformed into Windigos themselves", Adoteete told us.

"So what happend to your granddaughter?" asked Sara.

"She... She was taken by a windigo a few moons ago, so we're hunting it down", he cried in aguish, "That's why we were glad to hear you talking and stomping through the forest."

"If Ahiga is her father why don't you translate for him", I asked.

"He, doesn't enjoy talking about the loss of his daughter and I think he's losing hope in finding her", replied Adoteete briefly.

All of the sudden a screech like metal on metal ripples through the air as.......

Sorry, I can't think of a good part to go there.

As we ran through the forest, chasing down the ferocious beast we realized, 'Why in the world are we doing this.'

We chased the wounded beast for over a half hour. It was not hard to track because of it's bloodcurdling screams and it's massive tracks. We followed the tracks until we found a river.

"Now what", whined Sara, "We're lost."

I realized with a fright that she was right and this put us both in a bad mood. With tempers running high I made decision that I will always regret.

"Now", I said with my words dripping with sarcasm, "I will use my magnificant tracking skills. Come on you dolt use that head for once. Or just go away!"

As soon as the words left my mouth I regretted them.

"FINE!" screamed Sara, "I'm going"

Then she stormed off to the dusky forest.

"Sissie come back, now!" I demanded in a mocking voice.

Sara didn't stop for the jibe. She just kept walking.

"Okay, okay", I cried, "I'm sorry!"

Sara didn't show any sign of emotion as she disapeared in to the murky darkness of the woods.

All of the sudden I hear a bloodcurdling scream...
