Chapter 20:

Miraculously, I fan my hands out and locate the radio. I pick it up and push the button. “Anyone there?”

There is a pause, not more than a few seconds, but it feels like an eternity before I receive a response. “Copy, can I ask who this is and your location?” The voice cuts through the silent night air and I cringe, hoping that it isn’t going to attract anything.

Jamie calm down, there is a lot of back up nearby and you just have to inform them where you are. “This is Jamie, Wren and I are in quadrant four. I have been temporarily separated from him, but I have found the family.”

“Okay, Jamie, I need you to take a deep breath and stay calm. Do you think you could give me a general idea of where you are? Wren has a GPS monitor on him, but you said you got separated?”

I answer quickly, trying to give the best directions I can to my location. He tells me to just sit tight and help will arrive soon.

Not something I like to admit often, but I’m scared. I hope they arrive before whatever attacked these people decides to come back.

Bear spray in one hand and the radio in the other, I lean with my back against a tree, about twenty feet away from the mangled family, and wait.

I don’t know where Wren is or who the scream came from. There is so much blood, it is hard to see if it’s the whole family or someone was able to get away. I hope they did.

A branch breaks and I look up. I stay quiet so whatever is near won’t see me.

Green eyes stare back at me. As my headlamp shines on them, they glow, and I realize what they belong to. A wolf.

Not the black wolf I’ve seen before. This one is different, smaller, with a reddish-grey coat. He studies me, not as prey, but with an almost human expression of confusion. Without a sound, the wolf lies down and continues to watch me.

For the first time, I’m not scared. I don’t know why, but I know he wasn’t the one to kill the family. He doesn’t seem to be interested in the dead bodies, only me. Something about him looks familiar. I study him as he begins to lick one of his paws. Why does he look familiar? I have only seen one other wolf in my life, the black wolf, but they don’t look anything alike.

His eyes. I know those eyes. How do I know those eyes?

As I’m racking my brain, trying to make the connection, footsteps come pounding through the forest. Part of me panics. He needs to leave. If anyone else sees him, they might shoot him!

As I get to my feet, expecting the search party, Wren comes into sight, carrying a young girl in his arms.

I don’t know how to explain what happens next. He walks right up to the wolf. The wolf and Wren look
