Creatures of Nightmares

Chapter 4

Sleep.. barely came. The female was shaken and nervous, laying under the ridge for hours before her eyes closed. Her shoulders throbbed and her head hurt. She was laying in a small pool of her own blood.

###

Suddenly, she woke up. Her ear flicked. Unfortunately, her other one had been so torn it was ripped off as she had rolled down the hill. With a groan, she stood and looked around. The female saw the hill she had rolled down from, and decided almost immediately to travel away from it.

With a slight limp, she trudged her way through a small forest. The female saw a few creatures, a lystrosaurus and dodos, but they ran in fear as they saw her fur caked with blood. It seemed like a miracle she was even alive.

The female was still walking as she felt colder. Then, she felt snow under her paws. It was so cold, but made her paws a bit numb. It was nice for her. Her paws had been screaming at her to take a break. But after a short time, the snow was thick and tall. Every step became more like a fight to her. The female’s legs were freezing. As she walked longer, she noticed mammoths, penguins, and.. direwolves. Her ear pulled back and she gave a slight whimper.

Shadow.. like a direwolf.. she couldn’t take it. The female almost turned around right then. But she knew she couldn’t. Nervously, she hopped over snow and went under what looked like an ice bridge. Here, there was almost no snow. She curled up, tired from her journey. Her eyes closed.

AWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

The deep voice of a firewood woke her. She opened her eyes and looked around. The female heard the stomp of paws on the bridge. Instantly, she sat up and flicked her one ear. Was her ear deceiving her? Did she really hear a direwolf? The sound had stopped.

But then.. “Scout the area. I want her alive.” Said a deep, male voice. It was similar to Shadow’s voice.. and she shook in fear.

See ya guys! Gotta go!
