Chapter 2: first sight

She continued to walk and heard the twigs snapping again and turned around. A wolf! The wolf kept towards Clara. Snarling its teeth and growling, the wolf took steps closer and closer. As the wolf pounced towards her the boy jumped in front of her and a light gleamed from his hand. The wolf was shot away. It whined and howled then ran away but the boy was slowly de-solving and said he already did what he was meant to do. Just like that, he was gone. Before Clara could turn and run out of the forest, she heard more howls. More wolves charged over the hills and all stood together at the bottom. One wolf had a key on its back. 

Clara wanted to know what it was for but didn’t know how to get to it. She thought of all the things that could be a way to get to the key, but also what could happen to her. The wolves were getting closer and closer and Clara was running out of time to think. She remembered a call her dad had taught her so she tried it to see how the wolves would react to it. Once she made the call, the wolves ducked except for the one that had the key on. Clara smiled and realised it was deaf. She could now figure out a plan to make them all scatter from a sound except the deaf one.
