I saw a big white wolf standing there, glaring at us.
"ah.. ahhh..."
"Wh-what the f..."
The wolf is quite big, almost as tall as me. It's mouth could probably fit my head.
The moon shining makes the scenery looks beautiful, if only the wold isn't glaring at us with it's mouth open while drooling.
"Everyone calm down"
Kim Jaesuk said.
"It's only looking at us now without doing anything. It's probably thinking whether to eat us or not. If we try to run or look scared, it will jump at us for sure"
But it's impossible to be calm in this situation.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Anna and Cindy screamed and started running away.
Right at that moment, the wolf jumped over us and with a single bite tore Anna apart, leaving Cindy holding Anna hand that's been separated from the rest of the body.
After tearing Anna's body apart, the wolf spit her body and dashed straight at Cindy.
"Kyaa-"
And just like that, Anna and Cindy are both gone.
"RUNN!"
At that moment, Kim Jaesuk suddenly shouted and we all started running.
But just as we started running, Andy turned back and shouted
"Hey the wolf is by itself and we got six people! We could probably kill it"
"He's right!"
Followed by Martin.
Everyone then stopped and started turning around looking at the wolf which is looking at us right now. Leaving me with no choice but to do the same.
Looking at each other, Andy and Martin break the silence dashing while screaming towards the wolf holding their wooden stick.
"Uaaahhhhhhh"
"Aaaaaaaaaaa"
Swinging the stick to its head, the wolf reacted by dodging to the side and uses its head to knock Martin down, before opening its jaw wide to bite Martin off.
(snap)
Shresta suddenly throw his wooden stick which caused the wolf to look at him. Glaring at him, the wolf didn't realise that Kim Jaesuk is already behind him sneaking.
He then jumped on top of the wolves and positioned himself deadlocking the wolf, causing it to panic. While it's jumping around, I along with everyone dashed toward the wolf smacking it.
(thud thud thud)
While smacking the wolf, it suddenly scratched Martin with its claw, causing his entire chest to bleed.
"Agrhhhhh!!"
He lied on the ground screaming.
Probably because the wolf is close to dying, the struggle lighten which makes Kim Jaesuk able to take out use his knife to stab the wolf.
(stab! stab! stab!)
He stabbed the wolf multiple times before it let out a howl.
"Owoooooooo..."
It then closes its' eyes and died.
Just when it calmed down, we turned our attention to Martin, whose eyes are already closed.
"Ma-martin..."
Andy muttered while kneeling and holding Martin's dead body.
Kim Jaesuk then tapped his shoulder.
"Let it go, we have to keep walking"
"..."
I thought I was seeing wrong but, Andy is crying. Never is my life seeing a bulked man like that crying. I guess it's true that you should never judge a book by its cover.
Wiping his tears, Andy nodded his head and get up to continue walking while covering Martin's head with a cloth from his backpack.
"Let's go..."
Just like that, we continued walking.
---
"Wh-why is this happening to us..."
While we walk, Adrian started talking.
"It was just a normal day. Waking up to work, taking a break at a cafe, and then I would've gone back to work, if not for this stupid shit"
"..."
No one bothered to reply because we're all too tired for that. We just keep on walking without direction trying to find the exit of the forest.
(swoosh swoosh)
But I guess we won't be able to take even a little break.
After hearing that sounds, Kim Jaesuk shouted
"RUNN!"
We started running because there are clearly not just a single footstep coming from behind.
If there's more than a couple of wolves, we're all dead.
Turning my head to look behind us, I see two wolves dashing towards us.
I started increasing my speed as I got very scared at that sight.
Then suddenly, Andy stopped and turned back.
"Run and leave it to me"
"Wha- Don't jokes around and keep running!"
Kim Jaesuk shouted.
"It's fine. I'm just too tired for this, at least you guys gotta survive"
He smiled lightly and turned to face the wolves before roaring and dashing forward.
"Uwaaaaaaaaahhh!!"
Thats the last sounds we heard coming from him.
---
"huff huff huff..."
We keep on running for several minutes before Shresta fall down.
"Hey! are you okay"
Kim Jaesuk picked him up and continue running.
"Here... let's continue"
I silently praised Kim Jaesuk again for being able to worry about other people despite being in this life and death situation.
If it's just me and Shresta here and he fell like that, I would've just left him there and started running by myself. He can at least keep the wolves pre-occupied for a bit.
"Hey..."
"??"
"Umm... nevermind..."
I was about to ask, 'Are we gonna die?'. But that's probably not the right question to ask at the moment.
"Do you think we'll survive?"
But Shresta beat me to it and asked the question I wanted to ask.
"..."
Silence shrouded us for a bit before Kim Jaesuk answered with confidence.
"We will. Definitely"
"... Okay"
As we keep walking, a village finally come to our vision. It's quite a big village surrounded by wooden fence that's sharp on top.
"Ahhh..."
"Finally..."
A sigh of delight came out of my mouth.
We then started running towards the village while shouting
"Heyyyy... Help!!"
I then see a couple of people with bows coming out towards the wooden gate.
They looked surprised before suddenly taking out their bows and arrows from their back.
"Guakk!!"
Just as I thought they were gonna shoot at us, Shresta screamed from behind which surprised us.
A wolf was bitting and tearing his arm apart.
What surprised me is the fact that I didn't hear any step coming from behind before the wolf suddenly showed up biting Shresta's arm.
Another wolf then jumped at him and started gnawing at him. The people from the village then started coming out with sword and arrow running toward us.
Seeing that, I suddenly relaxed and fainted.
"Ahh... I'm saved"
We're finally out of the forest.
---
'Wake up...'
'Hey...'
'Wake up now...'
I keep hearing that voice in my head.
I squinted my eyes before grabbing the pillow to cover my face.
I then felt someone taking away the pillow by force before I opened my eyes in surprise.
"What the..."
It's Kim Jaesuk standing next to my bed holding a pillow on his hand.
"Wake up... Its noon..."
"Eh... where are we?"
"I don't know, but we're out of the forest"
Hearing that, it feels like a burden is lifted out of my shoulder. I then remembered something and asked.
"What about Adrian and Shresta?"
"Adrian is resting in another room right now, but..."
"Shresta?"
"He's... gone"
"Ahhh..."
I closed my eyes remembering everything he's done for the us.
"He deserved to survive"
That words then came out of my mouth, which surprises me.
"Everyone does... no one deserves to die"
"... You're right"
"Come let's go... they're waiting for us"
"Wha- who's waiting for us?"
"The people who saved us"
Kim Jaesuk then started walking away.
I then got up and followed behind him, before looking around at the room.
'It looks very old, with the wood and window. Looks like one I saw in some manga..."
We then walk downstairs which makes me realise that we're in the second floor right now.
Arriving at the what looked like a dining room and kitchen, I see an old couple sitting down in front of each other.
They then looked at me and slightly asked.
"Ohh you're up now... What about your other friend?
"Ahh.. he's still sleeping. Thank you for lending us a place to sleep"
Kim Jaesuk answered.
'English?..'
I thought.
"That's alright, we need to help each other after all"
"Come sit. Let's have breakfast"
The grandpa quickly offered us to sit while the grandma got up to prepare some bread for us.
"Ahhh you don't have to..."
(growl)
Just right after saying that, my stomach start making that sound which embarrassed me.
"Hahahaha you must've been hungry"
Placing some food on the table, the couple then asked us some question.
"While you're eating, there's some question that we'd like to ask. It's on behalf of the villagers as well"
"Ahh.. sure. Ask away"
The old couple then nodded before proceeding.
"How did you end up on the forest?"
I kinda expected that question to come, so I quickly racked my brain for a good answer. But Kim Jaesuk suddenly answered before I'm able to.
"We didn't know..."
"What?"
"We were sleeping somewhere, but when we wake up we're suddenly in the middle of the forest"
"..."
The couple seemed deep in thought for a moment before answering.
"Looks like you guys got caught in a forced teleport spell"
"Come again?"
I got startled and asked again.
"You guys probably got teleported forcefully by a spell"
'Fuck me...", I thought.
