Chapter 8 - Scary Night

After a few steps of walking fast. Michael was startled, he saw the wolf standing from afar, and it was glaring at him. He was suddenly freeze from walking.

Amanda was baffled, why they stopped walking.

"Why we stopped?" Amanda asked in bewilderment.

"Don't move, yet," Michael mumbled as he looked at the wolf from afar. "But why?" She mumbled back.

"Don't move if you see it, just follow my lead," Michael said as he is making a right timing to escape. "What will I see?" Amanda asked as she looked around, and suddenly, she was very shocked when she saw the wolf standing and glaring at them from the distance.

Amanda was afraid of what she saw.

"Oh no! Wolf, wolf! What we gonna do!" She wobbly said.

"Shush, just stay calm, we can make it!" Michael said, and he gradually picked up a stone, but Amanda can't hide her emotion as she distraught.

"Wolf! Ahhhh!" Distraught says Amanda. Then Michael spoke.

"Shhss.... please calm down as I said!"

"I'm scared!"

"I know! But listen to me! Do you see the tree house over there?" He said as he taught the tree house through his eyes in the distance to Amanda, and she saw it.

"Y-yes I can see it!" replied Amanda while her body was shaking in fear.

"If I say go, you must go in there as fast as you can, okay?"

"B-but!" she said in fear. "Do what I say!" Michael insisted, "O-okay!" distraught Amanda says.

Later, the wolf began to move and it ran towards them, furiously.

"Go now!" Michael ordered.

Amanda can't help but to ran as fast as she could to the tree house, and she hurriedly climb into it. Meanwhile, the Wolf was furiously approaching him, and when it was near to him, Michael stoned it with a rock that he picked up earlier, and it hit the face of the wolf, the wolf was suddenly agitated as if it retreated, and he got an opportunity to run. He quickly climb the tree house, and he immediately shut the door.

The wolf was coming again, and it was climbing the tree house and forcing to open the door, but it was hard for it to open. The wolf banged the door furiously, but no matter what it do, it didn't open. The wolf went down and lurking around the tree house.

Michael gasping for breath when he got inside the tree house, and when the rattling stops outside, Michael felt a sighed of relief. "Were safe for now!" Michael said breathlessly. Amanda saw him distraught.

"I want to go home, I want to go home!" she cried.

"Do not worry you'll be fine, for now," Michael said.

Suddenly, Amanda come to him and she embraced him.

"Thank you!" she cried. He just told her to keep calm.

…

Michael's purely peek through the window, and he saw that the two more wolf arrived. He closes the window immediately.

"I want to go home, I want my mom and dad!"

Amanda cried in fear, until she suddenly fell asleep in exhaustion.

After a few hours of sleeps, Amanda wakes up.

It was cold afternoon.

"What is you name?" He asked her.

"My name is Amanda Gray, what about you?" she asked him back.

"I'm Michael,"

"Michael?" Amanda asked again as she furrowed, because that was her most favorite name in the world.

"Michael Conaway," Michael replied, that's his real surname, 'Graham' was just his screen name as a model and painter, it was the surname of his mother. He uses it as a screen name because his parents relationship was in rocked, and on their way to divorce. Michael felt bad for his father as he has another woman.

"Oh I thought,"

"What?"

"Hmm nothing," Amanda said and she smiled, she thought it was impossible that he was Michael Graham, and there were many Michael names in the world. Amanda just shook her head and smiled to herself, because up in the middle of the danger, Michael Graham was still the one she remembered and stuck on her mind. She have to forget about him for a while, she thought. Michael noticed that Amanda seemed to be thinking something.

"Hey Amanda, are you okay? What are you thinking? "

"Nothing, I feel so cold in here," Amanda said and hugged herself.

"Yeah, so cold," Michael sighed as he sighed.

"How old are you?" Amanda asked him.

"I'm 21, how about you?" Michael replied and he asked her back.

"I'm 14," she simply replied. Michael couldn't believe Amanda's said age, because she is tall.

"You're still very young, how did you get here, you're too young to be here alone?" Michael asked curiously.

"We have a field trip in Skiing park over there, but my classmate Robbie dragged me to ride in a snow jet, until we get here and crashed, I think he is dead," Amanda suddenly cried as she narrates it.

"He is dead?"

"I think so yes, we crashed in a ski jet and his head was hurt so bad, ... how about you, how did you get here?"

"Its a camping with some friends who also dragged me into this, and they're all dead," Michael said.

"What? All of them were dead?"

"Yeah, the wolves ate them," he replied.

"Oh no, are we going to die too?" Amanda said with panic voice.

"I do not know, all we have to do is to pray," Michael replied as he sighed.

Amanda felt scared as she trembled in fear. "This is bad, oh no, I wanna go home!" She exclaimed.

"Please stay calm, if you will always scared, the wolves will beat you up!" Michael warned her. She suddenly felt calmed as she look at his eyes.

"Okay fine, I'm calm now, but how long have you been here?"

"5 days and I am so very hungry,"

"You mean you didn't eat for 5 days?" Amanda said in bewilderment.

"I ate so little, I went in the tent while the wolves were not around to get my back pack, but I got a wrong bag, the wolf are coming, only few cans were inside," he said as he shook his head. "Really? At least you got even a few," Amanda said.

"Yeah, I am so very hungry, so this morning, I went outside to go back there again, but I found you," he said.

"Thank you for finding me," she slightly smiled.

"That's nothing, the thing is I'm not alone now,"
