Since they were running out of time, no one made any comments and started preparing for their assault. Soon after, the students hid on either side of the valley, quietly waiting for the pack of Explosive Wolves.
Solemnity filled everyone's faces as they looked at the wolf pack headed toward them. The less courageous team members trembled as the earth shook.
Alan and Ell hid behind a boulder on the left-hand side of the valley's entrance. They didn't object to Cullen's plans, but they were wary of his movements. They knew how self-centered Cullen was.
Alan looked at the fast-approaching wolf pack. Then he looked at Ell and said with a severe expression, "Stand by me, Ell. I'll protect you."
