Gable looked around. She closed her eyes for a quick second and then leapt over one of the wolves. She quickly ran down the road, knowing that she wouldn’t have much chance out running them. She quickly turned off to the side of the road. She climbed one of the trees and just managed to get on a tree branch barely above the wolves snapping jaws.
She sighed in relief, but knew that she wouldn’t be able to get down for awhile. She looked up at the sky, wondering what would happen next. Then she leaned against the tree looking down at the wolves. They had the tree circled. They were just waiting to see what Gable would do next. She wasn’t too far from the Inn either, but she was too far to be heard unless she screamed loudly, but it would still sound distant. She sighed, there wasn’t much she could do here but sit and wait.
Then she got an idea. She took a branch from off of the tree and threw it into the tall grass several feet away from the tree. Three of the four wolves went off to investigate. Gable quickly balanced herself on the branch, walked to the end of it and jumped. She began to run, being chased by only one of the wolves. The other three took a moment to catch onto what had just happened, but then joined in the chase.
Gable knew that in seconds she would be at the Inn…maybe a little over a minute or two, and knew that she was in hearing range. She looked behind her. The wolves were still chasing after her. She smiled knowing that she’d be able to get help now. She put her arms up into the air and turned a little off of the side of the road. Her hands grabbed onto a tree branch and she swung herself up onto it. Then she caught her breath again and shouted, “Somebody! Help! The wolves are back!” Then she threw small, dead branches down at them until she ran out of things to throw down.
