Hunger Awaits (Completed)

Chapter 5

Kendra's POV

    I awoke shivering under a blanket of fresh snow. I couldn't move and I knew that the snow was still falling. "You have to get up Kendra," I said out loud to myself. I tried to sit up, but the moment I tried to move my leg the pain shot through my whole body. It was so intense that I instantly felt sick to my stomach. I laid back feeling defeated and helpless. I never thought that it would end this way. It wasn't going to end this way, I thought to myself. My will to live started to take hold and I made myself slip into a crawling position. I pushed everything out of my mind except the will to live and started to slowly crawl. There was a fallen tree just a few feet in front of me that had some branches above it. I knew that if I could just make it there I might make it through the night. I kept crawling, fighting my bodies instinct to just give in to the pain. I looked up ahead of me and stopped crawling. I was frozen in fear as two yellowish eyes looked at me from the dark.  I had no idea what was there, but I knew that it had to be an animal of some kind. My fear heightened as I heard a low growl come from the dark.

I laid there paralyzed in fear hoping that whatever animal was there would just go away. I kept my eyes on the eyes in front of me, and soon the eyes started to move forward towards me. I started to crawl backward, as the black wolf that had caused me to crash stepped forward. His eyes stayed focused on me the closer he came. I couldn't crawl anymore the pain was becoming unbearable. I started to feel around me for something to protect myself with. The wolf got closer and my hand found a big rock. I quickly grabbed it and hurled it at the wolf. It hit him in the snout, making him stop and shake his head. The wolf looked back up at me, but this time his eyes were full of anger. I knew that if I didn't scare him off I was going to die. I reached again and found another rock so I chucked it at the wolf again. This time it hit him in the head and he yelped in pain. He started to come towards me again but stopped and looked behind him. He growled then looked at me again, then he looked back behind him. He looked back at me one last time and then took off. I let out a sigh of relief but then the pain came back making me fall into the darkness again.

Matto's POV

   The snow was falling harder now and I knew I was running out of time. "Anything yet?" I let the question fill my head. Soon the responses from my brothers filled my head. "No, nothing yet. There is something though." My curiosity filled my head. "What is it?" Jace's voice came through this time. "The scent of an unknown wolf in the area. It isn't a wild wolf either. I think it is a Rogue male werewolf. He isn't from around here. Matto, He is dangerous and he is looking for something." I already knew it was the same wolf from the other night, and I already knew he was looking for her too. "Where are you?" I couldn't stop the anger that came into my mind. I soon heard the low howl from Jace and ran that direction.

    I was just about to him when I caught her scent. I immediately turned and started to follow the scent of her. The closer I got the more of her scent filled my nose, then I soon picked up the scent I was hoping wasn't even close to her. I walked up to a tree line and her scent was strong, but so was his. I looked through the clearing and saw the black wolf standing inches from her. She was throwing rocks at him and he looked ready to attack. Suddenly he turned back looking towards me. I let out a low growl and he turned back to her, then back to me, then back to her before he took off. I was about to chase after him when I saw her fall back to the ground. I knew I had to get her to safety first, then I could deal with the other wolf.
