Chapter 4 Not So Peaceful Nigh (1/2)

Awoooo!

The howling of a wolf woke me up. It was well into the night already and hearing a wolf howling like that, I wasn't very keen to accompany it for the meal.

Awooo!

'Shut up you stupid wolf!' I thought to myself while laying in my shelter. I didn't dare to move an inch. Then I heard more noises and the worst part? It seemed that those noises were getting closer to where I was.

I just layed there and waited…. I then hear sounds of what I could only think of as battle. I thought to myself 'Maybe it's the hunters from before. They might be hunting the wolf right now.' I really hoped that this was a case.

Unfortunately the sounds were coming closer and closer and I could hear the wolf but what it was fighting was probably not a human. If I remember correctly there were five hunters and I only heard one other noise besides the wolf's.

The night sky was illuminated by the moon and finally two silhouettes emerged and fought in the open area near the stream. What I saw was a wolf and… a wolf? One of the wolves was much bigger than the other but also looked more terrifying. It had silver coloured fur that glistered in the moonlight. On the other hand the other wolf was half the size of the silver one but its fur was black.

I never heard of a wolf with black fur, maybe it was dirty but then when I looked more closely I noticed its fur also shined like a well polished sword. I decided to watch the battle, maybe they will leave to different area or maybe one of them will die and the other one will leave. Besides I wouldn't be stupid enough to just reveal my location just like that.

Silver wolf: ”Grrrrr”

Black wolf: ”....”

The more I watched the battle the more puzzled I became. It was like the silver wolf gave different types of howls while the black one stayed quiet all the time. They pounced at each other and I noticed that although the silver wolf was stronger and bigger, the black one was a lot more agile and fast.
