"Okay, but how does a blood stain in your dagger indicate that a beast is in the forest, it might just be..."
"Wait...do you hear that?" Alex stopped immediately, he already brought out his second dagger just in case.
"Wolves" Melissa sighed as she stepped back, she used her hands to tell Alex to step back and he did so immediately.
"Why are we heading back?" Alex asked.
"They are wolves, we might be surrounded, both of us charging in might set the rest off and they would attack," Melissa said as they head back.
"Hey Gabriel wake Rebecca up, there are wolves in the forest," Alex said as both of them walked to the rider.
"Wolves!!" Lynx muttered as he brought out his flintlock pistol.
"They are wolves in the forest!! shit I was afraid of that" the rider clenched his teeth, "The wolves usually don't attack where a carriage runs past them, but we stopping here is the same thing as trespassing"
"So they are going to attack?" Alex asked.
