章 9: Polar Trees~8
Stripe yelp and squeezed Nod with his arms.
Nod lift his hand to show that he can't breath. Oak help him out as Hue continue the story despite the howl.
"The stone was said to be a pole for the King who left his lover within the cave. Yearly at the same time he would visit the stone tomb and would put on the same flower and the flower always disappears the next day. That flower is raised within the cave." Hue intensified as he eyed the flower they picked.
"Wait what if the lover will seek for the flowers?" Nod asked after regaining his breath.
Hue shrugged and ended his teasing.
"Well, after investigation. The people found out that the grave stone was actually a pooped by human. It was only burried with stone."
Oak laughed at the end of the story while Nod and Stripe complained at how a person can mislead the travellers.
Their argument got halted when they heared a howl. A night bird's cry and noise caused by the wind.
"we better get some sleep." Hue announced
Stripe and Nod rushed to take the center space. They pitch in a single huge tent. Hue and Oak just sighed at how scared the two was.
Oak took the least side beside Nod and Hue took near the entrance beside Stripe.
"Do you want to switch with me?" Hue winked. Striped vigorously moved back.
Oak turned her back away form Nod who had his arms hug her frame. Oak reached for his side and pinches him. Oak removed his hand after getting scolded by Oak. The team fell asleep right after laying down. Stripe toss back and forth holding back his pee. He tried to awaken Hue but he won't respond.
Stripe tried his luck with Nod who agreed to accompany him.
Stripe walked toward the east part of the tent. Nod was about to stand by the tent but Stripe pleaded him to be with his side. Stripe held at the hem of his shirt from his back while peeing. Their current view was indecent that when Oak went out of the tent and saw them Nod fidgeted to approach Oak and wanted to explain but Stripe firmly held and yanked him by the shirt since he is not yet done. It was like a love rivalry scene but the reality was that Stripe is scared to pee alone.
They were about to enter the tent when a howl resounded again.
"Are there wolves here?" Nod asked.
"Maybe. Let us quickly go inside." Stripe urged.
Nod and Stripe carefully walked on thier tent when a pair of predatory eyes get nearer their vicinity. Nod clutched his pouch as Stripe firmly gripped Nod's shirt.
Nod suddenly mimic the howl which made the predator approach them with a swift motion.
Stripe and Nod stepped backward when the wolf with grayish snow fur charge toward them.
The rapacious canid wild dog gnashed it's teeth with hunger. The fierce glare it releases made Nod and Stripe lean on a tree. Stripe protected Nod. He stood in front of the wolf threatening to devour them when a gun shot hit the wolf to be thrown on the side.
They searched the source of the gun shot and it's a man that can be said as wolf. He smile with a friendly curve but his eyes conveys a different one. Handsome princely built and face. His golden eyes and sapphire eyes can speak how he dominates a woman's attention.
He stepped closer and pushed Stripe out of the way. He pointed his airgun toward Nod and said.
"Where is my Oak?" his voice warned as he motion to pull the trigger.
Stripe tried to stop the man but it won't back down. His fierce resolution may take Nod's life.
Stripe was surprised when a man with his good shotgun skill appeared but when he advance toward them with the motive to kill as he smirk. Stripe decided that this man is not safe to be around at all. He single-handed pushed him to the side and pointed the gun toward Nod. Stripe clicked his tongue, he got ignored and was even pushed down. Stripe pretended to stop the man from pulling the trigger but he won't back down.
Nod cannot clearly breath. His oxygen rapidly circulated in fear. A wolf and now a gun. When he heared that the good looking man is here for Oak his hearing started to create a tingling sound of cymbals. Did this man addressed Oak as his? He was about to reply but the man pointed the tip of the gun unto the side of his lips.
"Speak before I put a bullet upon that mouth!" he warned.
"Lo!" Oak called from behind with Hue.
The man smirked and glance at Oak.
"Put that gun down." Oak ordered.
Lo winked at her and said.
"Give me a hug before I do!"
Oak raised her brow and stike the end of the gun to flip. Hue caught it mid air and confiscated the classic air gun. Hue eyed the groaning wolf and frowned.
Hue checked on the wolf and it was hit on the vital organ where it can't move.
"Your merciless as ever Lo, You should have held back. How can you immobile the wolf?" Hue nagged as he pass the gun toward Stripe.
"It was a last minute move, brother!" Lo replied.
"This man is your brother?" Stripe asked.
"Yep, I am his youngest brother." Lo professed as he approach Oak and was planning to hug her. Oak pushed his face with her palm.
"How did you sniff us here?" Hue inquired.
"Just thinking how you do. Seeing that you love the mountains. It took me three months to spot you here. I have been hiking and looking for you." Lo smiled with sarcasm.
Nod took a seat far from Lo as the man quickly pulled Oak by his side.
"This young lady is off limits Mr. Controversial Wonderer." Lo notified.
"We are together" Oak suddenly spoke as she swat the man's away and marched toward Nod.
