Emotions Kept Hidden- 10

I sat up quickly with a sharp intake of breath. My black hair stuck to my forehead from the rain water that still pored down on me. I had just heard something, it sounded like a growl. Definitely not good for me if it turned out to be some sort of wild animal.

I looked around myself quickly as my breathing hitched at every sound the forest made behind all the green leaves and broken down branches of the woods. The tears on my face mixed in with the rain as I sat there longer, soaking my clothes even more. I shivered slightly from the cold droplets as I got to my feet letting down my guard as I suspected the growl I had heard was a just apart of my imagination.

But I heard it again along with a loud rustle of leaves. I stopped suddenly feeling that I shouldn't turn around as I felt a terrible presence behind me. But I didn't listen to myself because the next thing I knew I was turning my head slowly to look into the eyes of wolves, about three of them looking at me cautiously. There bright eyes looked over me determining if I was worth a challenge.

They were hungry I could tell from the way they looked at me. I could hear another deep growl come from their throats as they stepped closer to me.

The water dripped from my pale nose as my wet hair sagged in front of my eyes. I stared back at them unmoving. I was afraid. Who wouldn't be? But I was smart enough to know that with this many wolves watching me it would be a bad idea to run, so I stayed still and watched them closely at every move they made. That was until my phone rang in my pocket. A loud rock band played vibrated against my hip causing the wolves to growl louder at me.

One of them even barked.

I kept calm as I slowly took out my phone to look at the caller ID. I sighed. Alex...he was trying to reach me. I didn't want to talk to him, not now -especially not now.

My movements were limited, I couldn't risk talking while these wolves were still around me. But then I thought how else was I suppose to get out of this situation?

There was no running, threatening movements, or speaking as I already knew of. I wasn't going to stay frozen like this forever, who knew how long it would take for them to leave and lose interest in me. My only option was to break one of those rules, hopefully they wouldn't take it as a threat.

Alex called my phone for the third time and this time I picked up quickly."Yeah?" I answered hurriedly.

The wolves stepped closer to me and I took a small step back. I tried to appear bigger but of course there group in numbers over powered me as they crept closer.

"Where are you?" Alex ordered. In the background I could hear him running as he panted slightly.

"In the woods."

"Me too. I just passed the hill where I saw you fall, are you okay?"

"I will be." I muttered still backing up step by step ever so slowly trying to keep myself calm. My heart pounded in my chest as the wolves continued to advance closer.

"Are you near the area you fell," He asked. All of a sudden his end on the phone went quiet.

"Yea-" I was interrupted.

The wolves were getting of them decided to bark at me as it lunged for my arm. But I backed up quickly missing him by a couple of inches.

"What was that," Alex asked.

I continued to back up unable to answer him right away as one of the wolves lunged at me again. Ugh! I grunted as I was shoved hard to a tree hitting my back by the wolf's weight pushing against me.
