"All right." Lindsay responded

"At least we have SOME idea as to where to go." he sighed.

"....." he was then silent once more, scanning and taking in the area.

He then paused and looked at some berries that were growing nearby.

"...hey." he said.

"Those good to eat?" he asked, picking some.

"They look really juicy and good..." he commented, salivating a little.

".......hm." Lindsay muttered.

"I see." he said, picking more of them and gently pocketing the berries.

"I'll wash them when I have a chance." he reasoned with a small sigh.

With that, they continued on with their hike, until the edge of the forest they were in was in sight... and it was just as the sun was starting to disappear on the horizon...

...and Anna sensed an approaching creature.

Lindsay couldn't sense it, but he was uneasy suddenly, as though he was aware SOMETHING was off.

But Anna knew. It was a wolf pack.

Lindsay was silent, as they heard the rustling.

And it was getting closer.

He gulped audibly, before rushing to a nearby sturdy and thick tree, and shimmying up it as best he could. Which was pretty quickly, considering how big he was.

That was when Anna saw the eyes. Glinting, glowing eyes in the darkness.

There looked to be about 6 pairs surrounding her.

The wolves growled at her, before some of them yelped, getting caught by the vines.

However, 2 of them managed to avoid them, and leapt out at her.

As they did, they opened their jaws, sharp teeth glistening.

It was clear they were hungry.

And they intended to kill her for food.

Anna could feel the lupine's teeth sinking deeper into her... but all of a sudden she heard a bit of a thud, and the pressure seemed to ease up.

That's when she noticed that Lindsay had jumped down from the tree, and was now literally prying the wolf's jaws open with his bare hands.

"No." he said.

"You won't... hurt her." he said further, managing to open the creature's mouth completely.

"You won't... hurt... ANNA!" he yelled, before grabbing it by the tail and slamming it into the nearest tree. And then he did it again. And then again. And then once more, obviously killing the thing.

Lindsay was breathing heavily, seemingly lost to the world, before Anna asked her question.

"Huh?" he stammered.

"Oh!" he said.

"Yeah... yeah, I could eat." he told her.

"...I blacked out again, didn't I?" he then asked her quietly.

"Did I... do anything... bad?"

Lindsay looked around.

"How many are here?" he asked.

"6." Anna replied.

"I can carry 4 of them back to the clearing easily." Lindsay told her.

"I don't know if there are any clearings nearby, but I know I can carry at least 4 of these things back to the one we were just at." he went on.

"Is that enough?" he asked her.

Lindsay followed her, looking around, until they reached the clearing from before.

"Ah, good." he said.

"We're here." he commented, throwing the carcasses down.

"What first?" he asked.

"Do you want me to start us a fire?"

"Oh, nice!" Lindsay replied.

"That'll help a lot." he said.

He then paused, and thought for a moment.

"By the way, are you all right?" he asked.

"That wolf bite looked like it really hurt." he commented.

Lindsay just sighed as Anna said what she did.

"All right." he repled.

He then arranged the rocks in a circle, put the tinder and kindling in the circle, and then snapped his fingers, causing the material to be set ablaze.

"There we go." he commented.

"That should keep us warm, and we can cook dinner on it."
