6. Walborks!
The next
few days were quite uneventful, and except for the
sound of Mika's flute as they walked along, the
woods were silent. But one dark moonless night Prin
shook Mika awake.
"What
is it..." he began. The he saw dozens of glowing
eyes in the trees around them. The Walborks! He
shivered and Prin huddled her furry body around
him. Prin took a deep breath and growled the Treem
Dog warning. The creatures stopped for only a second,
sniffed the air, and the eyes crept closer. They
knew she didn't have her Collar. Taking another
deep breath, Prin let out a high pitched sound that
Mika couldn't really hear, but it made him stiffen
with hope.
The
creatures came closer and closer, when suddenly
the woods were filled with lights. Screeching, the
Walborks scattered in every direction.
And
then the road was filled with men sitting atop an
army of fluffy white dogs. "Prin!!!" the Leader
called out as he climbed down and ran towards our
frightened travelers.
