The Following Evil Trilogy: Wolf Hunt
By tobycompy2.0
Chapter 1
The Forest
Lea looked at Jeff, and then at Garry. She looked as though she would never be cheerful again.
"Where do we go from here?" Said Jeff.
"It's morning and the wolves usually don't come out in the morning. We have to find somewhere to hide from them when night comes."
"Where?"
"This forest is gigantic, there might be some caves or something." Said Garry.
"What about Jany and Court? They were just killed!" Siad Lea.
"They were just killed, but we can no longer help them. We have to fend for ourselves now, but this does not mean its every man for himself." Said Garry. "Damn, where's my shotgun?"
"I've got it." Said Jeff. "I also have taken pictures of the wolves. They were horrifying. But I managed to get a shot of one when we had our first encounter."
Garry looked at Jeff's watch. "5:30 AM."
WOLF HUNT
Chapter II
Night Returns
"A cave!" Said Garry. He walked over to it and examined it. "We could stay in here, its very deep. Must be hundreds of yards deep."
"Okay." Said Jeff, looking at Lea.
Colter, Finure, and Johnson climbed into the cave and all started to fall asleep.
Jeff woke up and looked out of the cave's entrance. It was dark... it must have been... Jeff looked at his watch. 9:30? It felt like he had just drifted off. He thought it safe to just stay in the cave.
When he put his hands behind his head ready to go back to sleep, when he elbowed Garry in the head.
"Oh, sorry, I..."
"Don't worry about it, mate." Said Garry drowsily. "So... when did you wake up?"
"Few minutes ago... we've been sleeping for about sixteen hours."
"Really?" Said Garry looking out of the cave's entrance.
"I think we should wake-."
"Let her sleep." Said Garry. "She's been through enough. Let's hope she's having happy dreams."
"You know...I was going to propose to Lea last night. The thrill...the excitement... the moonlight." Jeff looked at her again. "But then we saw the man."
"That man!" Said Garry. "Who...was he? Did he look familiar?"
"No. He was very old, though."
"He climbed out the window, but we must have been three stories high."
"He seemed scared of us."
"Indeed."
And then they heard a growl. It sounded more bloodthirsty they had heard.
"Down the cave." Said Garry. "Wake her up."
Jeff nudged Lea and she sat up hitting her head on the ceiling making it crack.
"Shit."
They heard the growl come closer.
"Its heard us." Whispered Jeff. "C'mon Lea."
He started tugging her down the tunnel in the cave as they climbed lower.
"We have to hurry its getting closer. C'mon Lea."
They crawled down even faster trying to get away from it. The growling was getting louder.
"What the hell?" Said Garry quietly. "It gets louder as we climb lower what is that?"
"Just go, hurry."
"I don't get-"
Garry ran into something. He got up and looked back at Jeff and Lea, who were recoiling in horror. He could feel its breath. He looked up at the werewolf staring at him, drooling with fangs showing evily.
He kicked it in its face and turned around as Jeff took out Garry's shotgun and blew off its arm. It howled in pain as they started to escape.
The werewolf was still crawling after them. If Jeff tried to turn around and shoot it again, it would already get him. The second that it got even an ounce of any of their blood it would be stalking them forever. They hustled up the tunnel even faster.
Finally they saw the outside night. And scrambled out of the hole. Garry kicked it once again, and Jeff tossed him his shotgun. Garry aimed it and pressed the trigger. A click.
"My rounds!" The wolf had gotten back up again and Garry smacked it with his gun. This gave him more time. He reached in his pocket and loaded his shotgun. The one-armed wolf got back up again just in time to get its head blown off. The blood went everywhere.
Garry took out his rounds and tossed them on the ground looking at the headless corpse of the werewolf.
"Something I don't understand Garry, don't we need silver bullets to kill a werewolf?" Said Jeff.
"Jeff, I just blew a hole in it. Do you think it really matters if its silver?"
"Good point."
Chapter III
Hunting
"Garry, where are we going?" Said Jeff.
"I don't know."
"Well, we should set course for somewhere!" Said Lea Johnson.
"Mmmmm...Okay the way that I'm going."
They walked for awhile when they came to a halt. A dead werewolf was on the ground.
"What the hell happened here?" Said Garry.
There were scratches all over it, another wolf must have been killed.
"Do werewolves get in fights?" Said Jeff to Lea.
"Well, they don't exactly hunt as a pack. They fight over their food when they do. But sometimes they will even kill each other when they go hungry, and eat the other wolf."
"I didn't know that." Said Garry.
"The car."
"What?"
"The car." Said Jeff. "We can get out in the car."
"I don't want to go back to where we were when they died."
"It'll be our only chance, Lea." Said Jeff.
"But we don't know where we are." Said Garry calmly.
"Let's try and find our way back to the castle."
"We can't go back to the castle, they know we're there."
"Well, what are we doing in the forest?" Said Jeff. "We have to get out of here, otherwise we will soon die, we haven't had food for two days!"
Garry looked at Jeff. "Let's retrace our footsteps, then and turn around."
"They've been hunting." Said Jeff. "Scratch-marks on the tree they know where we are."
Chapter IV
The Bite
"They know where we are. Then, they work in packs." Said Garry."
"Looks like some of them do." Said Lea.
"Let's get out of here."
"Wait a minute.." Said Garry. "We can't go back. If they know where we are then they know where we've been, and they'll be there."
"Oh... no." Said Jeff.
"We have to find a different route back." Said Lea.
"Let's keep going forward."
2:AM
"Did you hear that?" Said Lea.
"The howl." Said Garry.
"What does the howl mean?"
"Means there close by." All three of them started to run. Pushing branches and bushes out of their way. Then, Lea missed one. Bam.
She hit the ground hard. Garry and Jeff didn't know if she was knocked out. They examined her. She woozily opened her eyes, they were both looking down at her. She pointed and screamed.
"What?" Jeff turned around quickly and saw it ready to pounce. It jumped forward and knocked Jeff out of the way. It bit Lea's hand off.
"Aagghhhhhh!!!!"
Then it howled and started to drag her away. Garry took out his loaded shotgun. With two shots its entire upper half of its body was gone.
"You've been bitten." Said Garry.
Something hit Jeff which made his heart sink. "G- Garry...what h-happens when a werewolf bites someone and then is k-killed?"
Garry seemed as if he realized it too. "I don't know." They looked at the werewolf corpse. Slowly all of the arteries and blood started to form back together again and it stood up.
"Run!" They grabbed Lea and dragged her as the werewolf started galloping towards them. "Hurry!"
"Aggghhhhhhh!!!" It jumped on top of her. Garry whacked it with his shotgun and blew the head off again.
"That will give us sometime!" They carried her running. Garry looked back to see its splattered brains coming back together once again.
Then they hid behind a huge tree trunk.
Lea looked up at Jeff with tears on her eyes. "Jeff, I'm not going to survive, am I?"
"I...I"
"I know the answer Jeff, I love you, I'm sorry."
"I love you more than anything." He said. He kissed her on the forehead.
"Jeff, I don't want to be killed by the werewolf...you do it. Once you do it, the wolf will die."
"I...can't."
"You have to, we both know."
The wolf was starting to run towards them. It had found them.
"Hurry, I love you."
Garry had the gravest look on his face and handed his gun to Jeff. Garry closed his eyes and so did Jeff. He pulled the trigger.
A gigantic blast was heard. Garry opened his eyes and looked at the wolf. It was also laying on the floor. Garry and Jeff slowly walked away without looking back.
Chapter V
The Man
Garry and Jeff did not speak.
"Oh, no not again." Said Garry looking at the rustling in the bushes, holding up his shotgun.
"No!"
Garry lowered his shotgun. "Did you hear that?"
"Yeah." Said Jeff. Then he snapped his fingers. "The old man."
"Show yourself."
Slowly a man with bright white hair emerged from the bushes.
"I saw you the night we came here!"
"You should never have come here."
"I know." Said Jeff.
"They won't let you go."
"What?"
"Unless you get it."
"What?" Said Garry again.
"The Wolf eye."
"The Wolf eye?"
"You're car would never have got you out of here."
"Why?" Said Jeff.
"They won't let you go. Not just the wolves but the Following Evil. You must go and get the Wolf Eye. You must bring it back, and then you will be able to go. I have heard it does more than that though. I do not know what else it does, but I know you have only one chance to get it."
"And thats why your here."
"Yes." He said gravely.
"Your stuck here forever?"
"Yes, I'm a survivor, yes but what is their to survive for? You must get it. It will be your only hope for escape. Return to the castle, and get it. On the top of the castle it lays waiting to be found. Return to the castle, go south and you will find the castle that you seek."
"What about you?"
"I have been here for forty years, and maybe I will be set free if you get the eye, but I think it is not very possible. Go."
Garry and Jeff didn't know half of why the man was there, but they started to go south, in hope for the eye.
"Garry." Said Jeff. This was the first time he had said anything really since Lea's death. "We have to get out of here, otherwise Lea would have died in vain. We will get out of here, and we will get that eye. All glory comes from the daring to begin."
The castle became visible again.
