The Unraveling - It Spreads

Something sets Wade’s fur on end, the springy chimes that sound from within the ice are wonderful to the ear but only make the dread that has been building settle like a rock in the pit of his stomach. The rumbles begin to wane as a shadow at the edge of his vision pulls the red boy’s attention to the area around him and he tentatively calls out, questioning if anyone is there. Silence answers him, the absence of sound that follows his question stretching thin until….

Suddenly, all hell breaks loose.

From above, the ice shatters, pulling his attention skyward as he is forced to quickly dodge out of the way of some of the bigger, more dangerous chunks. A cry of pain pulls his pale gaze downward and, amidst the fallen, glittering chunks of ice the yearling spies several other gathered wolves. Chaos sets in as some seem to jockey for protective positions over others while one teenager in particular slurs his words and launches himself at the new entity.

Gaze snaps back up to the creature that now clings to the clinging, quickly taking stock of its build and crystal sharp teeth while deciding what part he is going to attack. With a huge, crazed grin, the boy lets out a loud whoop of excitement and follows the lead of the other yearling by charges toward the strange worm. Some debris server as an incline and his fat paws thunder up the makeshift ramp before is forced to launch himself through the air.

Jaws open wide as Wade seeks to grab ahold of one of the flared hinges that usually cover the mouth, hoping to snag it and maybe cause it some pain. Who knows, maybe he can even pull the creature down to a more manageable height! As he goes, Sly and Loki holler that encouragement from the depths of his mind.
