The Weaver.
...This is the second day since we were trapped here by a pack of wolf。
Yes, it’s the second day。
Tonight, I can’t really fall asleep,so I get up, and started this journal。
When I look around this one roomed cabin, all other survivors curl around the fire,asleep in their slumber。
Judging from their twitching and squirming, they probably had night terrors about how bill got torn up and became wolf feed one days ago。
Just when I can’t bare to look at their faces wrinkled in fear, I stand up,climbed up onto the attic and looked out from the window - the only window that weren’t nailed down with wooden boards。
Tonight, was a full moon, not even a cloud in the sky。
I stared at the pine forest which surrounds the house,and listened to the roaring of the wind and the distant howling of wolf。
I whispers to myself。 『Why would I trapped here with all these...』 suddenly, I can’t find a better word to describe the noun I wanted。 『people,』(a generalized, yet,effective noun。)
『wolf or no wolf,if it wasn’t those cursed inquisitors,those wolves would wish their mother didn’t give birth to them。』 I whispers with a teeth grinding anger。
『Wait a minute,』something suddenly popped into my mind 『Maybe it wasn’t an accident that the car broke down in middle of no where,what if it was done by those inquisitor...』with this thought,an ice chill creeps up onto my spine,and I find my hand shakes like a Rodoline Pager。
I take a deep breath,attempting to calm myself down,『Okay,Okay,calm down。』I said to myself firmly『A.... person,like me shouldn’t tremble in fear。Even if I am to face those bloody inquisitors alone,in the middle of no where。』
『 Or maybe,』I try to find other possible explanation『 Or maybe, it was an accident that the car leaked out of gas。 We all know bill’s reckless driving damages the car,maybe it was leaking before we even leave the city。』
『Yes, that must be it。』denial,is always an easier path to walk on。『Those inquisitors are too busy hunting down people in the city, they won’t come out here in the middle of no where just for me。I have been very very careful,none of these.... people knows of my ... ability。』
I climbed down the attic,looked at their fear filled faces,『maybe I was suppose to protect people who were weaker then me?』but this idea was quickly discarded as I walked to where I used to sleep『Protect them?!how am I protect when I am the one who needs protection?The moment I revealed myself, those inquisitors will come down on me like vultures on carcass。No,I cannot risk it。』
With a conclusion in my mind,I quickly falls asleep。
As the time progress,the wolves became more and more ferocious due to their hunger of warm blood and flesh。
They starting to attack the cabin,they try to dig in,they try to ram down the wall or the windows。
Their attack became better and smarter, it’s almost like something intelligent is telling them what do to。
If I wasn’t alone, my curious nature would made me go and study these wolves and their behavior。
But, that was off topic。
With wolf’s almost non stop attack and their new ways to surprise us,these people are became more and more desperate,more and more nervous。
With each passing day,more and more escape attempt were made,more and more of them became wolf feed。
During one of the escape attempts,their source of “intelligent” finally decided to show itself。
It was a warg,or,an overgrown wolf with the size of a pony,it’s fur black,it’s teeth sharp as razor。
When it leap,it can almost reach the roof of the cabin,when it roar,people were stunned with fear。
Today, is the sixth day。
The numbers of survivors are down to one。
Although I mourn for the five fallen “acquaintances” (they have been great to hang out with, I must add) but I cannot reveal my... ability,even if it was to save innocent lives。For it and the secret of the academy were meant to be carried with us and to our graves it shall follow... no matter the cost。
The cabin is still sturdy,well,one more waves of attack will reduce it to a pile of refuse, to be exact。
the chance of survival for her ( the only survivor) is dropped from slim to nil,especially when the warg decided to come out and “trash” the party。
After a bit of discussion, we decided to smash all the furniture and use them to trap the roofs and floors of the house, and since we don’t have much food/water left ( well,about three days worth,still,not much) we are going make a run for it after the wolves break into the cabin and we will bring the cabin down upon them。。。
so much for the plan,it’s like those wolves see thru out plan and escaped right when the house crashing down。
Well,we did caught a couple that were too slow to run,but the majority of them escaped。
『RUN!THIS WAY!』 I screamed at the survivor。
We head for the hill behind the cabin, and behind the hill, is a river。
Hopefully we can get past the river to buy us enough time to loose those wolves, since our scents will be washed away by the water... well,ideally。
Just when we got to the river and finding ways to cross it, we were surrounded by wolves。 well, behind us is a raging stream of water,it’s not like we can just jump in and have a swim,because the jagged rock would surely pummel us to our watery doom。
『NOOO!!I DON’T WANT TO DIE!』she screamed,I guess her nerve finally break down。
『NO! DON’T DO IT!!』I shouted to her when I saw her dashes to the right side of the creek,ready to jump in。
Even if I don’t let her jump into her watery grave,she will still die from these wolves,and,I think it’s better for her to drown then to watch wolves tear off bits and bits of her flesh while she screams to death。
Suddenly,I felt just like one of them inquisitors,watching and letting innocent people die for no reason,just to save our own hide, just to keep our existence secret。
Suddenly,a high pitched scream awaken me from my thoughts。
Right before she jump into the water, the warg pounced and knocked her down on the ground,it roared at her and ready to pounce again to finish her off。
『BACK!』I roared with a rage in my heart。I reached deep into the essence of my soul with my will,vitalizes it,and channels it back onto my hand。
『BACK TO THE DEPTHS OF THE NINE HELLS,FIEND!I HAVE BEEN SILENT LONG ENOUGH!』as I screamed,I altered the essence of my soul into a form of energy that echoes with the essence of the wind。
I released the energy and it formed an invisible wall in front of the survivor,it withstood the pounce from the warg, and send it flying ten feet high up in the sky。
Before the warg lands on the ground,I gathered some more essence and turned them into blades of wind,release them forth and turned the black warg into a black porcupine。
『GET OUT OF HERE, THE REST OF YOU!』I stared at the rest of the pack。『UNLESS YOU WANT TO TASTE THE WRATH OF THE WIND。』 I waited till them disappeared into the wood, I walked to the survivor and asked。『Are you alright,Kall?』
she did not reply,her head hangs and she starts to snicker evilly。
Even though the sun is high up on the sky shining brightly,I still felt an icy chill creeped up onto my spine。
『I knew you would reveal yourself,Weaver。 I knew you are one of them when I first set my eyes upon you。』She stood up like a thunderous flash『I knew if I use innocent lives as bait,you would bite it like a hungry fish。Too bad the others has to be killed,but, atleast they saved me the trouble of feeding my pack。』She grinned with malice as she pulled out a scarlet edged bible『 Now,your soul will soon be purged like the rest of them,tainted one。』
『 Oh,by the way,no one has yet escaped my book of binding... maybe,you will be the lucky one? Hmm?』
