From where she stood, it stank as a dead carcass would and she was not sure if it was the dead animal somewhere around or the rabid wolf that stood in front of her with red eyes and spit dripping from its mouth along with some blood mixed with it.
Adeline noticed how sharp his teeth were which only confirmed her suspicions that if he came closer to her she would be mauled to death. Somehow immediate hot had gone to her boyfriend, Xavier. Any situation where she knew she was not going to last for long she wanted how she was expecting Xavier to help her.
Xavier was not here and she could not even try to call from where she stood, moving was a big no. The gate was already closed so she did not even try to think about running through the gate and the bushes were big enough for her to take time to climb over even if she ignored the small branches that were going to hurt her skin and scratch it over.
She shakily took a step back and pressed her bag on the gate more; at that very movement, he growled and bared his teeth even more at her giving her choice but to stand still where she was.
Where was Xavier? He could deal with this situation better than she ever could. He said that he was in town and he was never late.
"Please. . ." she whispered in fear, even though the wolf would not understand, she couldn't help but beg for her life. The wolf snarled even more making his entire jaw and teeth visible to her.
She whimpered at the sight, the sight of what was going to kill her. It would go for her neck and chomp on it until she stopped breathing. She would feel the pain of death come to her. The wolf was huge, she was sure that her 5.5 ft. height would be overshadowed by him when he would finally decide to kill her!
'What do I do? What do I do?' She looked around desperately for an escape to come or even an adult who could call the services for her. 'Please. . .someone be here. . ."
The wolf growled again and this time Adeline could tell that he was testing her. She gulped the fear she felt, animal could sense it, couldn't they? Her chest moved up and down as she watched the wolf whilst being fully alert to what was about to happen. She watched with all the awareness she had, making sure that if he attacked she would be able to get away.
The person who was part animal was not even here to begin with!
Xavier was supposed to bark and talk with him.
The wolf stepped closer to her right and she involuntarily moved to the left side of hers. Her eyes widened as she saw him move closer to her and she moved in the opposite direction. Was the wolf playing with her?
She watched him in full consciousness. Her eyes moved to the legs that moved to the eyes of the wolf. His won darted to the bushes ever so often and she stepped back. The circle that they were moving in was halfway complete and they were a quarter half away from reaching the original position of where the other stood.
What was the wolf doing? A fleeting thought came to her mind and she thought about it. Was it Xavier? Did he know that she was pregnant and was planning to run away? Her hand immediately came down to her belly and she grew protective of her unborn child. Why was he going this?
"Xavier?" she whispered to the wolf as he glanced at her and moved closer to the gate. Why was he going there, the area stank like shit. "Is that y-you? Please. . .dodon't play with me. . " She whimpered and almost cried out.
"Xa-Xavier?" she called him again and the wolf growled at her louder than before. Adeline flinched back at the impact. He snapped his jaw at her making a wild shiver of fear run down her spine and stumble back in fear.
She was seconds away from pissing her pants.
Her heart was not being anymore but thundered in her chest.
The wolf dived into the bushes and she staggered back at his action. He pulled something out and she saw that he was eating a dead animal which when pulled out stank even more. He ate like a starved beast which she now paid attention to, he was. He was bony and extremely undernourished and she knew that she had left before he took her as food after finishing the dead animal.
She stepped back slowly, still watching the wolf with a cringe as he crunched on the poor rabbit. She glanced at her before moving and the back at the wolf. She didn't want his attention by any chance.
She turned around as soon as she saw a gap in between bushes. A way out and she took it. She turned around and ran to it. Her feet moved as fast as she could and for the first time, she wanted to scream at herself at the fat she had eaten. She had a hard time running.
She gasped and as she heard a loud growl behind her and immediately started to run faster. She heard the padding of feet but as she focused on running more, she couldn't tell if he was coming after her or moving away. Hopefully moving away.
That's when Adeline committed the terrible mistake.
She looked back.
She turned around and saw him coming at her at full speed with spit drooling from his face and his teeth bared at her. her worst nightmare had come true the wolf was now targeting her.
She turned forward and picked up more speed only to be at the face first with a tree. She slammed into the tree and a cry of pain left her making her fall back in return. She immediately felt spit on her and scrambled to the other side.
Now, she was still on the floor and a wolf towered over her. The rabid wild was hungry and his eyes scared her the most.
Escaping no longer seemed like an option.
