Wolf Riders: Dead End — Description
The clouds above them had darkened considerably more as if it reflected the danger that loomed above the two boys. In quick succession, Charles dragged the confused and startled boy behind him, sprinting through the forest as fast as he could. The attacking Bearat was slowed down slightly in its tracks as it made to snap its jaws around them, but couldn’t fit itself through the small arch way the old oak had formed. However, as expected, it didn’t completely stop the creature. The heart stopping sound of an explosion of bark and its resounding roar gave Charles the idea that the beast had uprooted the tree and made the whole trunk slam down into the mud without breaking a sweat. A true show of how strong and merciless the local beast truly was.
The boys continued racing through the soppy mud and partially dead and bare forest. The sound of the beast lumbering after them growing closer and closer as they continued.
Charles could make it to his home. He knew he could. He had to. He had to save them. Both of them.

He continued to think those frantic and determined thoughts, all while aware of how closely the Bearat was closing in on them.

But all that hope was dashed as he found the dreadful dead end blocking his actually directionless path. He was nowhere near his home, no where near the trails that would lead to it either, and there was no time to run and try to seek it out, as their pursuer had come too close to allow for that to happen.

Oh no… oh no…
