Through my Eyes: Riley the Rex

Chapter 4

Morning came, but it didn’t drive the ominous feeling away, or the wolves. Even though they stayed out of sight I could still feel they’re eyes on me. It was mid day when they finally became bold enough and began to approach me. They stalked towards me, growling menacingly. I backed up slowly, but they continued forward, moving quicker and quicker. Soon I found myself running for my life across the icy ground. The wolves loped after me, effortlessly keeping up. I stomped forward as quickly as I could, but with out realizing it, I was heading strait for a trap. I almost didn’t stop in time, when I finally saw the cliff I was already trapped between it and the direwolf pack. I turned away from the dizzyingly high drop to face the direwolves. They trotted up to me, forming a half circle. Non of them where even panting, but I was already exhausted. I stood there trembling, awaiting my doom. But it’s funny, instead of thinking about my immediate danger, I began to think about my old home. Those high walls that kept all things dangerous out, the other tames, I knew every single one by name, and my parents, both mighty rexes, scared of nothing. I couldn’t help but think, they would teach these wolves who’s boss. Then I began to feel it, like a programming, telling me what to do. It felt like power washing over my body, and something began to rise in my throat. I had had my eyes shut, but now I opened them, stared right at the pack leader, and a deafening roar explode from my throat.
