22
It was pitch dark. And chill, too. Silence. No sight of any creature around. Dark. Pitch black dark.
The quint jet stuck among trees. Smokes coming from the failed engine. One of the wings just fell off the body, broke into two. The other wing stuck at the branch, holding the jet so it won't fall to earth. More like slowing down the impact. Falling is so sure, anytime, any movement.
"Byul!!" Yoon opens his eyes. He sees nothing, but his unconscious mind got disturbed just now. He tries to turn around, checking on Sun. As he can remember, both of them were still in blaster seats during the crash. Luckily he didn't get stuck in his seat.
"Ugh.." he heard a grunt from behind.
"Sun.. are you stuck?"
"Uh.. no. I'm good," he response.
Yoon pushes the red button and the shield opens. He unbuckles himself and crawls outside. Sun did the same. They slowly slide down to the ground.
"Thank God for the red button still working.." says Yoon. They look at the situation. Feel so lucky to have a mother nature effect that holds the jet from being crashed down.
"I'll go and check the cockpit. You go check at the back.." says Yoon. Sun nods. He is worrying about Cygnus right now.
Yoon checks around the cockpit. The window was broken. A massive hole can be seen, but there's no sight of the pilot every way.
"Wolf? Joon?" he calls them. Still no answer. Later, Sun came with Cygnus who still feeling dizzy. He didn't even get off his seat since they first boarded the jet. So technically he is safe.
"Where Jein?"
"Been down any minute. He tries to help Joon.." says Sun, putting Cygnus down on his feet. The little body slowly takes a walk, looking around and feeling eerie.
"It's too quiet in here.." says him. They couldn't be more agreeable. The dark indicates that it's a deep still night. The moon can be seen from their spot.
Soon, Joon and Jein came out from the jet. Joon hurts his ankle a bit. He manages to crawl out from his co-pilot seat during the crash. He and Jein hug each other, so he took the impact more than Jein did. That's how he got injured.
"Where's Justin?" asks Jein.
"I don't know. I can't see him anywhere," Yoon replies. They look around the area, in case if they can see any movement.
"Could it be that he has thrown out from the cockpit?" asks Sun.
"No.. that will be impossible. I have already checked the cockpit. Somebody must be dragging him out," says Yoon. The rest got confused with Yoon's discovery.
"How did you know?" asks Cygnus.
"The window got crash from the outside. The amount of glass is quite a lot inside the cockpit rather than outside. No branch as you can see. The broken effect on the window looks neat as if someone had broken it on purpose," Yoon explains, as they gather around in front of the cockpit. Joon looks at the ground.
"There's a footprint.." all of them step back, knowing that they might destroy any evidence. Joon hunch down, looking at the footprint. It looks like a human footprint but looks kinda weird.
"Ew.. smells like a dog!" Cygnus wrinkles his nose. He rubs his nose a few times. Joon tries to trace the footprint. It leads them to the bush just a few feet from them.
"Justin!" Joon quickly approaches the boy. He was laying on the ground, unconscious. But he is still alive. Joon tries to touch him, but he notices a pair of crimson eyes looking at him. He yelps, dragging his feet away from there.
"What's wrong?" asks Jein. He holds Joon back on his feet.
"I don't know... it feels like something is watching me just now.." says Joon.
"Never mind, just take him first.." Sun helps them, scooping Justin in his embrace. He brings the boy back to the jet location. Joon and Jein slowly follow from behind.
"Thank God, he still alive.." says Yoon. Cygnus approaches Justin, immediately began the treatment. A few minutes later, Justin began consciously. He looks around him.
"Are you okay, Wolf?" asks Yoon.
"Where are we?"
"I'm not sure. It's too dark to see.." says Yoon. They all gather at the place, looking around in case if they see anything.
"We need to sleep here tonight. Going somewhere in this condition is too dangerous," says Sun.
"Stay here, you shouldn't move too much.." Jein puts down Joon so the man can take a rest. He pulls off his boots and lets his leg rest for a moment.
"Cygnus and I will gather some firewood. Yoon, go and check if there's anything that we can use in the quint jet, maybe a blanket or what.." he nods. He slowly moves into the jet.
Sun and Cygnus walk around, gather some dry wood to make a bonfire. Cygnus can't rid the smell of fur, a dog smell. He rubs his nose a few times.
"Geez!" he smells his hand. He did touched Justin's hair just now. The smell has a deep essences.
He suddenly heard a footstep. It breaks some twigs and sounds dangerous. He hold back, trying to stay close in the circle of his friend. He senses something is wrong.
Slowly, in the dark something came out, crawling towards him. He moves back even faster. A pair of yellow eyes are looking at him right now. He can't help but immediately scream.
"Cygnus!" Sun, who is just a few feet away from him hears the scream. He quickly runs towards him, only to find something eerie standing four feet in front of the little man.
Soon, he feels like the figure is not alone. It comes in a group, more like a pack...
"Sun...." Cygnus sweats a lot.
"Don't make any sudden move..." says Sun, trying to control the situation.
"Sun!! Cygnus!!?" they heard Yoon is calling for them. The figure got attracted to the voice. Out of blue, it runs towards them.
"Run!!!!" Sun screams as he grabs Cygnus' hand. They run as fast as possible towards them.
"What's wrong?!" asks Jein when he sees them panting and panicking.
"Wolves! We meet wolves!! I mean not only one, but.." it's too late to explain. Now, they have been surrounded by a pack of wolves. They were quite huge, not like ordinary wolves.
"O...k..a..y..." says Yoon. He moves back slowly.
"They aren't just wolves.." says Joon, trying to stand up even though his ankle is in pain.
"It's..." one of the wolves sniffs at Jein. His eyes look directly towards him.
"He..here.. nice doggy...nice..good..boy..." Jein tries to calm it down but...
They growl as one of them runs towards them. It's so huge, he might eat all of them just in one bite.
But, out of a sudden comes another wolf, jumping on a big black wolf who tries to rummage Jein. Both of the huge dogs crack bones, biting each other. The small white fur wolf bit the black's neck and gave a nice good kick at his belly using his back leg, making it whimper and flying a few feet back. The white wolf standing in front of them, facing the pack.
"Wow.." says Sun. This is the first time they watch a huge wolf like this.
The black one slowly transforms into a human form, with tan glossy skin and black jet pixie hair cut, looking at them in anger.
"You're standing on the wrong side, Twix!" he says.
"It's... A..."
"Werewolves.." says Joon, nodding his head. Slowly, one by one transform themselves into human shape. They look angry as well. The white fur wolf also took a shape of a human now, tall, slender with puppy eyes and silver hair.
"Don't touch them!"
"They are enemies, Twix! Look at that jet!" a lady wolf, with short bob-cut hair points at the quint jet.
"Well, hello.. but there's some kind of misunderstanding here..."
"Shut your fucking mouth, Hooman!" the black hair growls at Jein.
"Oh, for God's sake stop growling at me?! Do you know who I am, and what am I capable to do to you??" Jein comes forward, put his hand on his waist.
"Who are you?" asks him back, looking so confused.
"I am Dr. Jein Austin, and I'm a weapon specialist!" he doesn't even hesitate to introduce himself, making the rest of his entourage smack their face.
"Do I look like I care?" asks the black one. Jein pouts as he frowns at him.
"Please Mirmo. Don't jump to conclusions. This might be the same quint jet. But they are not our enemies.." says the white one.
"How did you know?"
"Because one of them is my dog tag owner..." his eyes looking at Justin who laid there weakly.
And all eyes are on him right now...
