That Infernal Sound

CHAPTER 6. THAT INFERNAL SOUND

Even though I managed to finally escape that house it seemed as if I could not outrun and escape that infernal sound! The sun had finally disappeared from the sky but it had not yet gone dark, and my only hope was to make it out of the forest before then. My flight from the estate felt like that of a hunted animal. I followed the path out of the forest, driven by a sin-gular need to get away, to escape and find safety, for even though that house of wolves was far behind me, the twisted forest still felt as if it were a part of their domain.

The winds had grown more furious and it’s howling persisted around me, as if chasing me out. In fact, it might very well have been actual wolves howling as they ran beside me, somewhere behind the thick veil of trees!

It had been a very low wooden gate, overgrown with various green-ery, making it almost completely blend with the forestation around it, which, I had discovered, was once again that more welcoming and gentle forest that I had seen from when I had just begun my journey earlier that day. I stood up and for a moment looked back over the gate to see what little was left of that path I had followed in my escape, which seemed to fade out just before the wooden gate.
