two days have passed, no news, Scotty been indoors, as the rain was heavy, it was nice and warm, cosy in the cottage, another night, she had to get threw them a few more days, or weeks, her eyes widened as the haunting howls echoed through the turbulent night. The tranquility of her moment with Smore shattered, replaced by a surge of apprehension. She recognized those chilling cries all too well – the telltale signs of the rogue wolves drawing near, they were a night ago further down, something must have caught they attention in the rain to bring them back this side.

Abandoning her tea, Scotty sprang to her feet, her pulse quickening with a mixture of dread and determination. She glanced around the cottage, her mind racing as she sought out any means of defense to safeguard herself and Smore. Her gaze darted across the room, assessing each object with urgency, searching for something, she turned to Smore, and held him in her hands, it got quiet, only the rain and wind. . .

The door erupted open with a thunderous crash, admitting a horde of rogue wolves whose predatory eyes fixated hungrily on Scotty. Their snarls reverberated through the air, teeth bared in malicious intent as they closed in on her, their intentions unmistakably nefarious. they had smelled her, the Food she made was what caught they smelled it all the way.

" Well, what do we have here? " sneered one of the wolves, his voice dripping with menace as he surveyed Scotty with predatory interest. " A little lady, all alone and defenseless. How fortunate for us. "

" You're a tempting morsel, " growled another, his gaze raking over her form with hunger. " We've been on your trail for days, and now, here you are, delivered right into our paws, mmmm it smells better now that we know that you are the snack "

The pack's leader, a formidable gray wolf, advanced menacingly, his predatory gaze fixated on Scotty's vulnerable form. " Resistance is futile, " he snarled, his voice laden with threat. " You belong to us now, and we know you will taste delicious. "

" I won't let you harm me! " she declared, her voice trembling with defiance, her resolve steeling against the encroaching danger.

The gray wolf emitted a low, sinister chuckle, his eyes gleaming with malicious intent. " Oh, but you will, " he retorted, his tone dripping with malevolence. " We've tracked you for days , your smell is devine!, You're not as clever as you think."

The other rogues chortled in cruel amusement, their anticipation palpable as they closed in on Scotty, their intentions unmistakable. As panic threatened to overwhelm her, her hair was was loose in a mess hanging just above her bum, with her eyes having a shade of silver in them now, her hands trembled as she summoned her inner strength, channeling the primal energy within her. With a focused intent, flames erupted from her fingertips, enveloping the cottage in a blazing inferno. The rogue wolves recoiled in shock, their howls of pain piercing the night as they scrambled away from the searing heat.

But their retreat was short-lived, their fury stoked by the flames that threatened to consume them. With renewed aggression, they charged at Scotty, their primal instincts driving them forward with relentless force.

Scotty fought back with all her might, her body a whirlwind of motion as she struggled against the onslaught of fur and fangs. Despite her valiant efforts, she found herself overwhelmed by the sheer ferocity of the rogue wolves, their savage attacks pushing her to the ground.

Desperation gnawed at her as she rolled and thrashed, her every movement a desperate bid for survival. Yet, as the weight of the wolves bore down upon her, threatening to crush her spirit, a flicker of hope ignited within her soul, when she heard smore give a small welp, that made her furious,

In a moment of clarity, Scotty reached out with her mind, summoning the essence of her faithful companion. With a flash of light, Smore materialized by her side, his tiny form pulsating with fiery determination.

Together, they unleashed a torrent of flames, driving back the relentless onslaught of the rogue wolves. The scorching heat forced their assailants to retreat, their yelps of pain they ran outside into the rain, the fires were extinguished and they laid in pain

Seizing the opportunity, Scotty and Smore fled into the cover of the storm-lashed night, their every step a desperate race for survival. With Smore firmly grasped in her arm, Scotty pushed herself to the brink of exhaustion, her heart pounding in her chest as they raced toward the sanctuary of the forest. With each passing moment, the distance between them and their pursuers grew, until at last, they broke through the treeline, emerging into the safety of the dense woodland.

Breathless and trembling, Scotty dared to steal a glance back, her blood running cold at the sight of the relentless rogues still in pursuit. With a fierce determination burning in her eyes, she kept running, she has cast a spell to bring rocks infront of the rogues to loose her scent, she kept running, blood trailing down, she was in pain, her hair wet and clingy on her face and body, her night dress was see-threw, and half torn, and she ran, she heard the howls it made her heart beat, when she took shelter at a tree she saw ahead some light, she rubbed her eyes to see clear and there was some light, she needed to get there, and ask for help. She heard paws har don the ground, the one rogue caught her scent, now was the time to run as fast as she can, just before she could run . . . . . . .
