Chapter 25 - The Wolves

  • Aiko: Looks like we lost our trail. Let’s take a break and find something to eat.

    Rey: Gess and I will see what we can find

  • Scene: Gess and Rey make small talk as they walk across the meadow, until they come to some rocks.

  • Rey: Have a seat Gess

  • Gess: Am I in trouble again?

  • Rey: No sweety. I just want you to tell me about this vision you saw. It must have been a very strong one for you to have risked your life to come down here.

    Gess: At first it wasn’t, but as the time got closer for Aiko to leave home, I was seeing it every night. Always the same, and it was so real, like I was there. And I saw things I’d never seen before. Like how I could transport with you. But I saw myself doing it, so I knew I could.

    Rey: That does sound like a vision. But how does coming down here help us find the energy module?

  • Gess: I don’t think I can tell you right now.

    Rey: It’s ok Gess, I believe you, but…

    Gess: No, I mean I think we have company

  • Scene: As Rey turned around, she saw a couple of wolves creeping around a boulder towards them

  • Gess: What are they?

    Rey: I don’t know, but they don’t look friendly.

    Gess: Look, there’s two more.

    Rey: They’re trying to circle us. Definitely not friendly. Gess, when I say run, I want you to run as fast as you can back to Aiko.

  • Rey: Ready.

  • Rey: Run!!!

  • Scene: Two wolves take off after Gess. Rey quickly removes the leave from her staff, activates the blade, and throws it at one of them, but the other one takes off after Gess. She reaches out to hit the other but misses. Meanwhile Rey fights off the other wolves. After Rey finishes killing those attacking her, she looks up and notice more coming around the rock. Rey takes off towards Aiko and Gess.

  • Rey: Time to go.

  • Scene: As Gess races towards Aiko, the wolve is gaining on her.

    Gess: Aiko!

  • Scene: Aiko quickly jumps up, removes her leaf and yells to Gess.

  • Aiko: Gess, drop!!

  • Scene: Aiko jumps mid-air and collides with the wolf, stabbing it in the side. Both land next to Gess. Aiko sits up and looks at the massive creature, then looks in the direction of Rey running towards them, with three more wolves chasing her.

  • Aiko: GO!
