The Tales of Wolfrick Warwolf

Chapter Five

I awoke when I heard a sound towards the front of the cave. I got up to investigate what the sound was when I saw a man standing over Angle with a knife! I got to my sword and struck with all of my might! I felt my blade strike the man but I felt something else I looked down and saw a knife in my side. I turned to find two more men with swords..... I killed both of them. I looked back to see the first man coming at me. He broke off the handle of the knife in my side. I then drove my sword through his heart.

After finishing them off I filled the canteens that we were caring with their blood. I was so silent and so swift that Angle had not awoke. I silently went to investigate how they had entered. I found that they entered through an opening that fed the waterfall using ropes and other gear to climb in as silently as possible.

With that mystery solved a new thought crept in to my mind..... who had sent them and why were we wanted dead? I went back to where I had left the bodies and started to search them. I found a patch on all of their right sleeves as I studied it I had a sudden flashback to the day my mother was killed. The patches that these men were wearing are the same kind as the men who killed my mother.

The patch had a white background with what looked like black fire rising up from the bottom to the top. Those flames circled around a skeleton but the mouth of the skeleton look strange.

I felt my anger rise and my blood begin to burn. I then felt  my body ignite into a fiery inferno. I could hear the sound of my mother's scream all over again but I also heard the dragons awake. I let out the loudest roar I could! It was a mix of anger and pain and that was when I felt a touch on my burning shoulder. It quickly brought me back into reality and I turned to find Angel with her hand on my shoulder and our flames mixed into a white flame, the likes I had never seen in my life. I then looked her in the eyes and I saw worry and fear for me. I felt my body extinguish the flames and my blood cool.

"What happened?"

"I had a flashback of the day that my mother died."

"Why did you go into your hunter form?"

"The anger and pain I feel caused me to ignite."

"What caused the flash-back?"

"The patches."

"What patches?"

"The patches that were on the arms of the men that tried to kill us in our sleep."

With that she stopped and stared at me, I had forgotten that she was asleep when I had killed the intruders. Angel now looked like she was about to cry not from the force in my voice but from the thought that she was almost killed in her sleep. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her. I could feel her shaking but as I held her I could feel her shaking decrease slowly.

"It's ok, I got you." When I said that I felt her whole body just collapse into my embrace and she started to cry in my arms.

"I woke up when I heard something in the cave when I did I saw and killed the men that were trying to kill us."

She lifted her head and looked me in my eyes and ask me if she could see the men that had tried to kill her and that had fallen to my sword. I walked with her to make sure that she did not fall. She looked at one man then that other then the last one. Then she looked from the men's faces to the patches that had caused me to burst into my anger inferno. She looked up at me again all that I could see was her fear. Then the look in her eyes changed and I was suddenly hit by something hard on my left side. I then realized that I was not hit by anything but that I had fallen onto the cave floor.
