Rita
as soon as the word left my mouth, the wolf in front of me did something that left me speechless and frozen in fear. It stood up, and I fell back in fear as it started taking steps towards me, my eyes were focused on the glowing eyes and the huge grin, I noticed the blood covering its muzzle, and my heart started pounding. The beast came closer and closed, then it stopped right in front of me, we both stared at each other in silence for a minute- I listened to its heavy breathing, waiting for it to attack at any given moment- but it just stood there in silence, a flake on snow landed on my nose, it's snowing, and I was starting to feel the cold water on the ground seeping into my clothes, my breath was coming out in clouds in front of me, while it came out in bigger ones from the monster opposite of me.
As the monster stood in front of me for a minute or so- I started to feel like it was not going to attack me, so I muster the courage that I have left in me, and I decide to scream at it at the top of my lungs- maybe that way I would startle it and make it go away. So I take a deep shaky breath, then I open my mouth to scream at it- but then a deep loud howl interrupts me, and it sounded like it came from a short distance behind me. Forgetting about the danger that I'm facing, my body starts acting by itself, I find myself quickly spinning around to get on my knees, then I stand straight up with my back turned to the werewolf.
This time I remember the gun that I had dropped when I fell to the ground, so I quickly bend down and grab it, then I aim it at the dark distance up ahead, another deep howl, this time it sounds closer, I gulp loudly and my hand that is grabbing the pistol is shaking badly as the other one aims the flashlight aimlessly into the darkness. Soon I started hearing the tree branches breaking, loud cracks, growls, and heavy footsteps- then another werewolf broke out of the bushes- this one looked different, it was dark but I could see it had lighter-colored fur, however, this one did not seem calm or happy to see me, it stared at me like a predator staring at its next meal.
The werewolf behind me growled, it startled me, and I fired a bullet- what happened next was so fast that it felt like it was mere seconds, the werewolf snarled at me as the bullet hit it in the shoulder- and it leaped at me, but then I felt a swoosh beside me, and saw the werewolf that was behind me collide into him. Growls and snarls filled the air, as they bit and slashed. I stared at them in shock, but suddenly I heard my name - "Rita", I frowned, thinking I was imagining it, but then again I heard it "Rita, hey! over here", I turned around and started looking around with my flashlight- it finally fell on a wide-eyed Stan, he was lying on the ground, blood was coming out of his forehead, his shirt was torn showing deep slashes across his skin, "Stan! " I ran to him, "oh my God, are you okay? what happened ?" , I grabbed his arm and started helping him to stand up, he looked at the werewolves fighting, then at me in panic, " you have to get outta here now!", I nodded " I am, we should take the root back - it's that way" , I pointed towards the direction that I came from, but he grabbed my hand "no- if we want to get out here alive, one of us has to stay behind to keep those things busy", I shook my head "they are already busy ripping each other apart, now is our chance, let's go !" , I tug into his arm, and he walks with me hesitantly, we carefully pass the werewolves fighting, and we ran as fast as we could, Stan was limping the whole time, as we ran further and further from the loud fighting noise. We finally stopped to catch our breath, leaning forward on my knees, I breath hard as I ask "W- where is Jerry? did you manage to find him?" , Stan looked back in the direction of the woods, then looked down, still breathing hard, he cleared his throat and shook his head," I found what's left of him", I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands, Stan closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair - " I followed his trail hoping to find him, heard some rustling in the bush, then I saw his cam sitting in a pool of blood, following the blood trail, I saw parts of his body and on top of him sat a werewolf… you probably can guess the rest", I nodded as my eyes welled up with tears- but then they dried up fast when we both heard a loud howl piercing the night air. Steven and I started to look around in panic, we heard branches breaking and what sounded like a stampede around us, I looked at him "where?.." then I trailed off as I saw a dark huge figure emerging from behind him, blazing eyes stared me down as they kept getting higher and higher, then a growl. Steven froze and his eyes widened in fear as he looked at me-"ru-", his words were cut as he was stricken and swatted across the trail by the monster, I screamed "NO!" and attempted to run to Steven who was out cold, but as I started to take a step towards him, I felt a heavy blow on my back, the next thing I was flying across the trails, and I fell face first on the ground- my head collided with a rock, and I heard a beeping sound in my ears, I groaned and started to turn slowly on my back- my vision was blurry as I saw another werewolf emerging from the tree line, he grabbed Steven by the arm and dragged him back into the thick bushes. Then my eyes started roaming around until they met blazing red ones, my attacker was approaching me slowly, growling and looking down at me, I felt a warm liquid run down the side of my face, I slowly reached my hand up and touched it, then looked at my hand, putting it close to my eyes- I could see it was blood, I looked at the werewolf that is now standing on top of me, my body between his feet, and I raised my hand to show him "huh, blood", the werewolf stopped growling, it tilted it's head to the side like a confused dog would do- but then a wave of sleepiness fell over me, and everything went black.
