My body froze, dropping all my equipment. My heart began to beat like a drum and my eyes stared wide. What do I do? How do I get out of this?. Every thought you could think of in this situation was running through my head. My legs going weak and my adrenaline kicking in. I was terrified. Raising my hands my whole body was shaking from fear, and I was almost in tears. Beginning to walk backwards, I...
The smell of fire still lingered in the evening air. It made it hard to breath, to concentrate. Then there were the wolves, following at a distance. A simple hike had turned into life or death. Face the fires heat or the hungry mouths that blocked the path forward. There was no space to fear the outcome, all you could do is run now, listening to the scream of your own heart beat and the snarl...
It is said that these woods are where the great Golden Grin reside. It took me years to track this place down, I’m finally gonna be able to see my childhood heroes in person. I might even get to see Hush again. A smile widens across my face as I continue further into the daunting forest. I’ve come a long way from stealing just to keep my family and I fed. None of it would have been possible withou...
Some people, when faced with certain doom, would think; ‘If these are my last moments, let them be the best.’
Facing a pack of hungry wolves in the middle of nowhere, I did not relate to that. All I was thinking was— “OH MY FREAKING AGHHHHHHHHH—-“

I did NOT want to be like Magnus Chase.
Unfortunately, I would die at the han...
Their eyes connected, but hers were that of a stranger. Still, warmth radiated from the stare. As she pulled herself upright, two legs wobbling with uncertainty of the soil’s stability, she did not look away from her. What had she done?
Kaya and the elders made no sound, trembling beneath their paws at the sight before them. Awena had leapt into the iridecent pool of water in search of a miracle...
I’m staring danger in the face yet I feel so calm. They must have heard me coming; such beauty in their power. Before me stand three tall white wolves, one standing closer to me than the others. They must have heard me coming, I can tell by the way their eyes are fixed on me.
I hold onto my hiking stick with both hands in front of me, my lower back is feeling the strain of the 45 minute hike I’ve...
There was a pack of 7 snow white wolves staring right at me. Their piercing ice blue eyes staring intelligently directly into my eyes.
Authors Note: this story is so short because I wanted to keep my streak. But I will be continuing to write this. Hopefully later today this will be 500 words....
It was a stormy evening and red was trying to get back to her grandma’s house quickly before the storm picked up even more. The rain was coming down and it was hard to see anything in front of her. She knew she was getting close things were starting to become more and more familiar. But as she rounded a sharp bend in the trail she was encountered by three white as snow, fluffy beasts.

Do you see us human?
Do you see our coats of fur?
Do you see our deep hunger?
Our teeth are bared.
Our growls rumble in your ears.
Our hearts pound harder.

And now, they’re heading straight towa...
