Brack! Brack! Brack!
Again, the adult werewolf attacked Peter and there was a deafening sound. Dangerous sound that sounds like the collision of one object with another.
The sound was so loud and terrible, just by hearing the sound one could imagine how powerful the blow that was thrown by the perpetrator.
Normally such loud noises would have invited the crowd to come, but as by design, they chose this place out of all the places to commit crimes.
"This kid is quite agile. It's really hard to hit boss." shouted one of the man in the group.
"There's no way he doesn't have a weakness, you adults, don't lose to a little kid." said the leader coldly.
He spoke like that but the werewolf who was the leader of the group grinned evilly, his eyes hinting at something to his men.
His men smiled evilly and nodded. One of the men who had previously attacked Peter, continued to attack the boy fiercely, even more ferociously than before. He did this to make Peter lose focus on his surroundings.
Brack! Brack! Brack!
The bat continued to attack Peter indiscriminately and always hit the walls around the boy with an ear-piercing loud sound.
Two people joining in the attack make Peter overwhelmed, he focused on the two werewolves who attacked him and forgot some of the other werewolves, all according to the plan of the evil group.
Bugh!
"Ah! Shit!" cried Peter in pain.
Peter who was caught off guard and focused on the two people attacking him didn't notice that one of the werewolves he had been ignoring was approaching him from behind with another dangerous bat and immediately hit him hard on the head.
His head ached badly and Peter fell to his knees from the severe dizziness. He clutched his injured and bleeding head.
"A bunch of sneaky people. I let my guard down, damn it!" said Peter regretfully in his heart.
The pack of werewolves came to approach the helpless Peter with evil grins, some laughing mockingly at the boys who easily got caught up in their plans.
"In the end a child is still a child." said one of the evil werewolves in front of Peter.
"Yeah right. I thought he was a tough prey, but he can be fooled by a trick this easy." the other werewolf joined in and laughed mockingly.
"Well. Experience is the most important. There's no way a brat with no experience can beat us." said the werewolf leader grinning evilly.
Peter who heard their words was really angry, but his head really hurt and he couldn't get up for now.
"Who sent you guys?" asked Peter coldly, he had suspected this from the start and wanted to ask these bad guys.
Bugh! Bugh! Bugh!
Peter was beaten again, one on his head which he protected with his hands, one on his back which he could not protect and finally on his bent leg.
"What are you bragging about?! You think you have the right to ask us that?!" said the werewolf leader a little disapprovingly.
"Arrogant brat! We'd better hit him again, don't you want him to die boss?" asked one of the werewolves in the group.
The leader of the evil group was silent for a while, he closed his eyes with a finger on his chin looking like he was thinking about something. Then he opened his eyes and spoke.
"No. He can still be of use." he said looking down at the wounded and helpless Peter.
Peter was beaten and helpless. His whole body ached and he could only sleep like a ball protecting his stomach and head from getting hurt when these thugs tried to hit him again.
Peter knew that talking would bring nothing, there was no point in asking a group of criminals who only thought of himself as a useless boy who was already in their power.
This gang of thugs really thought that Peter could do nothing more against them, but was that really true? No one knows what will happen to the helpless Peter.

On the other hand, Ana is still pacing back and forth. She tried to walk once more down the path she remembered to get out of the forest.
"What's with this forest?!" Ana muttered annoyed and wanted to cry.
She was tired, her legs hurt and this negative situation made her even more desperate and wanted to cry. In the end, how to get out of this forest actually?! Did she have to ask someone for help again? But there's no one here!!
Ana sat leaning against the big tree and then bent her knees and buried her face tiredly. Sobs came from the face that was covered behind the girl's knees.
###
Sob....sob...sob...
"Sobs?" Peter muttered to himself, his body still helpless, rolling like a ball.
Peter thought hard, he seemed to recognize this sound of sobbing, he thought about it and the image of the little girl he met in the forest alone crying a month ago appeared in his mind.
"This is the girl's cry." he said again in his heart.
He could tell that it was the girl even just from her tears and of course this was strange.
"How could I know that this was the sound of her crying?" asked Peter in his heart.
He couldn't make a sound, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart with a position that continued to protect the most vulnerable parts of his body, afraid that this beating wasn't over yet.
"Hey brat! Get up quickly!" shouted one of the evil werewolves in an arrogant tone.
"Don't pretend to be dead!!" he said again in an annoyed tone this time.
Peter was still focused on listening to Ana's cry and enduring the pain from the previous blow, he didn't have the time and energy to listen to anything else, let alone pay attention to his surroundings.
Feeling neglected, the evil werewolf got angry and hit Peter on the back again with a bat. Sure enough, as Peter had guessed, the thugs hit him again because he didn't answer their calls.
"Boss, this brat is really arrogant, he doesn't realize his current position." said the werewolf who beat Peter to the leader of the group.
"Tsk, just hit him until he realizes his current position." said the leader in an annoyed tone.
"Okay boss."
After that the beatings on Peter continued again, this time they even lifted Peter by force and beat him in the stomach which Peter had tried to protect earlier.
They laughed and mocked the boy who tried to protect his stomach and tried to fight them.
"You're just a weak brat, don't be silly!!" said one of the werewolves who was ganging up on Peter in a disdainful tone.
Bugh! Bugh! Bugh!
Peter was beaten all over his body, all parts of his body bruised and bleeding. They were truly merciless even if Peter was just a helpless child.
Peter felt pain all over his body, a feeling of helplessness enveloped him. One eye was covered in blood and his vision slowly darkened.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a voice brought him back to his senses.
