The very next day, the still sleepy Nicholas and Sophie went out again after doing their chores to search for wolfsbane.
"Okay, compared to last night… we should get ready to stay out longer okay?" Sophie said. "Are you okay with camping if it doesn't rain? I think the storm last night should be the end, right?"
"We should bring food and water so we can go further, then," Nicholas agreed. "Maybe some supplies too, so we can cook food. I can hunt for us."
He hated his wolf form, but he couldn't deny that when he shifted he could take advantage of the heightened physical strength and speed.
"Okay. That sounds like a good idea." Sophie nodded.
The two of them packed enough supplies to last them for a couple of days and after that, both of them set out to the forest more prepared than before. This time, they were better prepared with food, clothes, even a small blanket to keep Sophie warm at night.
